Does this look like an engaged President to you?
They’re four slides in and he can barely keep his eyes open. pic.twitter.com/9Nkefn1i17
In FEMA briefing Trump was shown a photo of hurricane damage to an office building, inc. blown out windows.

His reaction: "You don't want to use that glass contractor, right? They didn't do too good a job."
The storm was a category 4 when it made landfall with 150mph winds. pic.twitter.com/ZArV3qlle3

OK. So he makes a joke, proving he’s actually listening.
The presentation is not that interesting and no actionable decisions to be heard.
Maybe he didn’t have enough sleep, happens to a lot of people
I was always anti-Trump, but this is seems like squeezing the toothpaste tube.

Actually it is unlikely that was a joke.

No, it was not a joke. Unless you think the aimless maundering of a mentally ill person is funny. Maybe he’ll go down there and throw paper towel rolls into a crowd to show his “engagement”.

It’s a joke for him, but in his mind EVERYTHING he sees directly relates to him and how he looks. He’s essentially filtering out the impacts of Laura by building a narrative that the blown glass in that building was the fault of a contractor – i.e. making the hurricane less bad, and therefore it won’t have much impact on his favorability ratings.
The videos above are a minor example of his thought processes work, a bit like toothpaste tube wringing, but they’re representative to how he acts towards issues like climate change.
Trump has resting constipation face, really. He always looks like that when he’s attending something not focused on him.
On the skyscraper, some crazy dude filmed it live:

You don’t want to use that guy as a president, right? He isn’t doing too good a job.
