Trump speaks on TV immediately after the event to give condolences, bemoan the tragedy, praise the first responders, etc. He orders flags to be flown at half mast, and he'll fly to Vegas on Wednesday.
Meanwhile it's been almost 2 weeks since Puerto Rico (a territory of the United States) has been devastated. When all is said and done the death toll will be staggering and the amount of suffering beyond imagination.
Yet, Trump hasn't been there yet. Hasn't ordered flags to fly at half mast. Hasn't rolled up his sleeves and ordered his admin and military to cut through all of the BS red tape and get direly needed supplies to the people on the ground.
Hell, it took him 11 days to finally assign a 3 star general to try and sort out the logistical mess. 11 days. That's 264 hours. Imagine being without electricty, clean water, proper sanitation, adequate food and medicine, and possibly sleeping on a cot in a packed shelter because your home was destroyed - for 264 hours!!!!
