    Trump's tweet regarding Hurricane Harvey:

    Received a #HurricaneHarvey briefing this morning from Acting @DHSgov Secretary Elaine Duke, @FEMA_Brock@TomBossert45 and COS John Kelly.

    It will be interesting to see the comments he makes regarding the hurricane.

    'I know some very, very, very good hurricanes'

    'I like people who aren't affected by hurricanes'

    '"Well, I do think there's blame -- yes, I think there's blame on both sides'

    "I watched the hurricane very closely, much more closely than you people watched it.

    The approval rating has bottomed out.  There's nobody left that will ever abandon him.  A third of the country loves every second of this.  And that's why he might win in 2020 and why people like his children or Richard Spencer* may be president some day.
    I tend to agree, the ratings have nowhere to go but up. As for 2020, it will be a record turnout but he will lose, bigly.
    Im hoping for a rematch!

    He might lose.  We might get a rematch.  But we can't have both.
    Maybe. Maybe not.

    If we end up with a rematch then neither side will deserve to win.

    He's at 34% now, right? I think he can go lower, but not much. When Nixon resigned, he was at 24% approval. Trump won't go that low because of how hyper partisan our country is now. People now equate a President they voted for doing a bad job as a personal shortcoming and they don't want to admit they were wrong. I think 29 or 30 is as low Trump will go, but if it does get that low going into 2018, I think a lot of Republican members of congress run like hell from him.

    Senators who need to win statewide might. But rank and file Congressmen representing gerrymandered districts? If Trump's approval is at 30% nationally it will still be much higher in rural and deep red districts. They will go along to get along.

    Expect the usual poor leadership in the wake of the destruction. Even with resulting deaths from the hurricane, he won't be able to resist talking about himself and his election victory. Maybe some badmouthing of some congress reps and journalists.

    What could go wrong? Department of Homeland Security is under temporary leadership after Kelly moved to Chief of Staff. NOAA is under temporary leadership. The National Hurricane Center is under temporary leadership. Trump's budget requests are aimed at moving DHS money away from FEMA toward construction of the wall.

    I'm sure it will all go smoothly.

    Ha, good call. There's a Trump Tower in Houston. That should be enough for Trump to get off his fat ass and start worrying about Harvey.
