I guess Harvey since it will likely have no effect and the Charlottesville saga undeniably helped him.

WTF? Huh

While Trump's actions during Harvey are mediocre at best and is all for show, it will never be as bad as his response to Charlottesville. Possibly one of the biggest blunders of a president in history.
More so than Katrina, running guns to the cartels, or getting a blowie in the Oval Office?

Yes worse than even Katrina, never proven although Iran-Contra runs in the same category of "greatest blunders" (though arguably even worse), and not even remotely in the same universe as the POTUS overtly supporting the participants of a neo-Nazi march.

Look at his job approval numbers from that period:

There is a discernible bounce in his favor corresponding to Charlottesville. I wouldn't have guessed it either given what happened and the outcry, but anecdotally, the swingable voters I know seemed more concerned with statues than an actual resurgence of white supremacists.

Interesting. Still, I wonder how much of that is RCP being kinda crappy, and possibly sustained by a Harvey bounce?

He didn't handle it "perfectly," I would've classified it perfectly if he hadn't been constantly bragging about his actions during the storm on twitter, endorsing Sheriff Clarke's book during the storm, or complained about "good ratings"

Um, Pgh Steel? I think you responded to the wrong post here. Sanchez's dumbass post is maybe what you were looking at?
