ussel Honoré, the lieutenant general largely credited with turning around the chaotic situation in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, criticized Donald Trump’s administration for its handling of the unfolding disaster in Puerto Rico, Bloomberg reports.
“It’s kind of like Katrina: We got it. We got it. Oh, sh*t, send in the cavalry,” the retired general said Wednesday. “This is a hit on White House decision making.”
There are a gazillion planes, ships, amphibious vehicles at Florida military bases alone and the US Navy's Fourth Fleet Command in the Caribbean and Central America is closeby, too. Trump is deplorable.
