How un-presidential of him.
President Trump has taken heat from critics over the past few days for his response to Hurricane Harvey. Some have criticized him for a lack of empathy for not hugging or consoling any victims, while others couldn’t believe he commented on the crowd size at a speech he made in Corpus Christi, Texas. “What a crowd, what a turnout,” Trump said to several hundred people who attended a speech he made at a fire station.
To fight back against Trump’s critics with “whataboutism,” the #MAGA crowd launched counterattacks on social media blaming President Barack Obama for his supposed reaction to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
\nYou can't say Trump didn't handle this a million times better than Obama did with Katrina! Credit where it's due please Kay

\nLet's not forget where Obama was when Katrina hit and where Trump was. He cares for the people! Open your eyes. Stop your hate

\nObama wouldn't take time for Katrina victims. He was too busy playing golf. What makes you think he would give a damn now about Texas?

The problem is that Obama wasn’t president during Hurricane Katrina — he didn’t take office until 2009. George W. Bush was president in 2005.

Although Obama was in the Senate representing Illinois at the time, he still visited evacuees in Lubbock, Texas, alongside presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton on Sept. 5, 2005.
\nWhat was Obama doing during Katrina? He was actually at the Astrodome helping out and wasn't even goddamn president yet. pic.twitter.com/UFZoGfgxuo

To mock the Trump supporters who criticized Obama for something he had nothing to do with, people have been blaming him for all sorts of historical disasters.
\n"Next we'll be asking why Obama didn't meet with Titanic victims!"

\nMy question is, where was Obama during Vietnam, when his country needed him? pic.twitter.com/ifHyDGQ0Rq

\nObama apologizes for firing the First Shot at Ft. Sumter. "How would I know it would start a Civil War."

\nAnd where was he when Pearl Harbor was hit? Probably vacationing in Hawaii!

\nI never saw Obama helping in the bread lines during the Great Depression. https://t.co/KgAfeLspO6
