It's kinda a no-win situation for Trump since the storm is still causing rising waters.

And, although he'd probably like to say he could, he cannot stop the rain.

The approach is to make promises of implied, quick, completely effective, financial and physical support.

I'm not sure that is possible.  His FEMA guy is probably being far more realistic in his statements, trying to place expectations in terms of years instead of the immediate fixes Trump is assuring.

But, Trump is injecting himself into this assuring all wiill be OK.

That's a tough standard to meet or achieve.  And, there will be a whole lot of risk to life, physical discomfort, financial devestation, inevitable social and criminal activity chaos, and mold to deal with along the way.

I'm not sure about the play of over-promising the emerging Fed will fix with whatever Houston "needs".   

It's unreal in Houston.  Looks like an entire city of 6 million has become unliveable.

Federal gov't set up to resurrect?
