Vacationing President Joe Biden's recent reaction to being asked about the American tragedy in Hawaii has been deemed as "heartless" by many.

As of Sunday, the death toll had risen to 93 people, plus more than 1,000 are still missing, according to Newsweek. The Lahaina wildfire is the deadliest in the United States since the 1918 Cloquet fire that killed 453 people in drought-stricken northern Minnesota.

President Joe Biden spent the weekend vacationing at his beach home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

On Sunday evening, Bloomberg White House correspondent Justin Sink wrote on Twitter, "After a couple hours on the Rehoboth beach, POTUS was asked about the rising death toll in Hawaii, 'No comment,' he said before heading home."

Where the hell are the National Guard? Isn't this what they're here for, to go in when disaster strikes and help out? Why aren't I hearing about them being deployed to Maui?

Because a good crisis should never be allowed to go to waste. I don't suppose you saw the footage of live powerlines being blown over in gale force winds on the 8th of August?

This event could have been prevented. It wasn't. The National Guard could be deployed to clean up the mess. They aren't.

Do the math.
