Trump has said repeatedly that he had no idea that Category 5 hurricanes existed. The map shows the tracks of Cat 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic since 1900.

He’s said he never heard of a Cat 5 hurricane when meeting with emergency management teams in D.C., and on the road when he makes his unwanted visits to damaged sites.  At these visitations, he makes a fool out of himself by showing his lack of knowledge about hurricanes, gun violence, or fires. 

He threw paper towel rolls at people in a meeting in Puerto Rico after they had suffered the worst hurricane in its history.  He told the California Fire fighters that they needed to rake the floor of the forests like Norway did to prevent forest fires.  No, Norway didn’t rake their forest floors.  Trump visited the El Paso hospital where 8 patients were being treated after they were shot by the Walmart shooter. None of them wanted to see the guy.

We have a president that has absolutely no empathy.  Not only doesn’t he have the word in his vocabulary, he has no idea of how important it is for the President to show concern, and empathy for others who have suffered.  What Trump does is show stupidity, and turn the whole event into his own self gratification.
