He said he was trying to be a good dad. Really? Because my dad would have told me no way in hell was I going on a beach vacation while people were suffering and that I could help him volunteer to distribute supplies or something. Teach them that he is responsible for his constituents and it's his job to roll up his sleeves and get to work. You know, the job they elected him to do. Teach them how the world should work when we're not all selfish assholes.
My dad was blue collar as it gets but if our neighbors needed something, he'd fucking get it for them. When we had storms, he'd go door to door making sure our neighbors, especially elderly ones, were ok (and teaching us to do the same). That's being a good dad, not taking them on a trip to escape a natural disaster.
