Donald Trump took aim at former President Barack Obama this week, claiming that his predecessor failed to come to Florida the last time a hurricane hit the state — even though it happened when George W. Bush was still in office.
Trump traveled to the Sunshine State in the wake of Hurricane Irma to survey the damage and pledge help from the federal government. But during a discussion with local residents, Trump couldn’t help but to give a bit of ribbing to one of his most common adversaries.
Bloomberg reporter Alex Wayne noted that a supporter asked the president rhetorically where Obama was during the last hurricane, to which Trump replied “Tell them” and gestured to reporters, insinuating that the media was not hard on Obama for failing to make a visit in the wake of the natural disaster.
