Obviously I’ve had the hurricane at the top of my mind this weekend. Suffice it to say it has interrupted my availability. So by no dang means am I minimizing the importance of hurricane news, instructions, briefings or updates.
But y’all better KNOW that if Donald Trump were giving a hurricane briefing and someone asked HIM about a situation like what is going on in Afghanistan, where Americans are being murdered by terrorists, left behind in chaos, and our gear is being used to create a TERROR ARMY, and he just said “nah, son” and walked off there would be HUUUUUUUUGE outrage in the press.
But they will absolutely defend him here, saying it wasn’t an appropriate time or that the hurricane is also important or whatever.
But watch this:
Biden calls on a reporter following remarks about #HurricaneIda and the reporter asks him about his disaster in Afghanistan.
Biden immediately states he doesn't want to talk about Afghanistan and walks away. 13 U.S. troops were killed after a chaotic situation Biden caused. pic.twitter.com/mmNPlpciLZ

Can you seriously even imagine Donald Trump doing that? They would be handing out pitchforks and maps to the castle if he tried this.
It may seem right now like the media are holding his administration to account for Afghanistan. But it won’t last. Mark my words.
