Trump probably said exactly that. I ran across the following:
“Mr. Trump, one aide said, was fascinated by the long-term effect of water damage on structures in the Gulf Coast, peppering FEMA and National Security Council briefers with detailed questions about the flooding in Houston and Galveston. As the extent of the projected devastation became apparent over the weekend during a meeting at Camp David, he shook his head in disbelief and compared the situation to problems he experienced when managing his family’s apartment buildings in New York. “Water damage is the worst,” he told one staff member, “tough, tough, tough.”
This is a region-altering megastorm and Trump is comparing the consequences to the time that guy in 11-B had a burst pipe and the apartments on the B line below him had to have emergency repairs. It’s not the same thing."

This does sound like something Trump would say.

These weather events are because of Polluters and Environmentalists alike. There are bad floods from both sides.
The only thing I find hard to believe on this is that Trump would show up to something like this, no crowds to cheer him or little ball to hit around.

Trump will hand another care package to Mike Pence and declare another win.

That he doesn’t stay long. Bet he runs off to a rally in Arizona or someplace where there are crowds to cheer him. Small crowds.

The crummy book by a fascist jerk that Trump endorsed on the night of the hurricane is floating in sewage.

I bet Drumpf complains that the crowds “cheering him” in Texas weren’t big enough…
