re: #34 tradewind

So you don’t think he’s using the disaster to push a legislative agenda?
Because if he did not, a large segment of his base could (correctly, in their view) accuse him of political malpractice.
(n.b. that this is separate and apart from the conspiracy-nut theories of him having anything to do with it, or having wished it upon us, both of which are stupid)

There’s a distinction between ‘using a disaster to push an agenda’ and ‘responding to a disaster from the philosophy implied by your overall agenda’.
