Politicizes Hurricane Sandy response, claims Obama "buying" election

As Hurricane Sandy devastated the East Coast, Trump took to Twitter to attack President Obama's response, claiming the President was using the disaster to "buy the election" by distributing federal aid. He also tweeted that the hurricane was "good luck" for Obama. Despite his foundation making minor donations, Trump's primary public engagement with the tragedy was cynical political commentary.

"Hurricane is good luck for Obama again- he will buy the election by handing out billions of dollars." — Tweet sent on October 30, 2012
