Former interim Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile appeared to wonder on Monday whether President Donald Trump would mishandle Winter Storm Stella.
"#43 twisted with Katrina, #44 soaked in Sandy," Brazile said of former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. "Will #DonaldDumpStella? Can 40 million ppl find #Stella sobering under #45 leadership?" Brazile asked.

Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy hit when Bush and Obama were in the White House, respectively.
Brazile appeared to question Trump's leadership to help the country get through Stella, which is expected to pound several states with heavy snow.
Brazile's tweet was met with significant backlash on Twitter.
