Like New Orleans in the run up to Katrina, the city of Houston was not evacuated. This should be blamed on the mayor but it will almost certainly find its way to being Trump's fault in much the way that Bush was to blame for problems related to Katrina. Also look for Trump's ascribed indifference to the fact that the city is more than 40% Hispanic. If some newsreader on MSNBC hasn't already made that claim, it is coming. This is the new Katrina and even if Trump does all he can and does it perfectly, he will have been wrong at every step and a cruel villain as well. Go up the chain of authority until a Republican is found and there is where the blame lies. Perhaps Governor Abbot will shoulder some of the blame but the Democratic Mayor, Sylvester Turner, will be blameless.
