1. What irony. Hope it bites him in the butt.

2. The GOP will call it proof that the gubmint is unqualified to manage disaster relief

And they will use it to push forward their privatization agenda.

4. There was no reason for him to do it, except for his hatred of Obama

3. As always, imagine if Obama had done it

They would already be calling for his resignation, and impeachment proceedings would begin tomorrow.

5. Rick Scott and republican trash in Florida lowers code standards

In Florida for God's sakes, ground zero for many hurricanes.
When will people wake the F! UP and oust these idiots?!

6. Nice work, asshole!

A decent person wouldn't dare to show his face in public after such a stupid move. Unfortunately, we are not dealing with a decent person.

7. Does Trump believe that Obama made up the growing risk of flood damage?

As the population grows so does the demand for affordable housing and everything gets paved over, so where does the water go? Regulations get cut to allow corporations to build in risky areas because greed and profits come before people. Add in climate change with wetter weather, heat, and more frequent, more intense storms.

Obama had the foresight to recognise the problem and try to mitigate the risk to people, but Trump, ignorant, petty, vengeful and shortsighted, will never be in his league.
