This man is already doing the duty of the president. Obama took time out of his vacation to fundraise for Hillary but won't cut it short to visit flood victims. Hillary is resting for the rest of the week and won't take time to visit either.
You can argue all you want that Trump is just looking for publicity from it, but regardless he is the only one who is out there actually trying to help. It's not like the other 2 are particularly busy. Bush was harshly criticized for his flyover after Katrina. Even Obama was criticizing him front and center. Now the hypocrite is too busy vacationing for the umpteenth time.
Trump is doing exactly what the president should be doing. It will be fun to see how the MSM tries to spin this on him.

Good on him. Trump should be doing everything he can to get back in the race.

Except you left out the part where the Governor asked Obama to wait, because having the President visit means diverting hundreds of first responders from helping people in need to providing security.

Explains why Trump, who also requires first responders and Secret Service, is there, huh? Face the facts, that is not why he isn't there. He was a no show to this and many other national tragedies. Hope he's enjoying golf. lolOriginally Posted by 7rmr

No he's not. He never told the governor he was coming, and he was criticized to stay out of the way unless he plans on actually helping and not just there for a photo op. You guys are so freakin gullible.Originally Posted by tsunami2012

The office of Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards signaled that Donald Trump is welcome to visit Louisiana in the wake of destructive flooding, but only if he does not use it for political gain.
"Donald Trump hasn’t called the governor to inform him of his visit," a spokesman for Edwards' office said in a statement Thursday evening. "We welcome him to LA but not for a photo-op. Instead we hope he’ll consider volunteering or making a sizable donation to the LA Flood Relief Fund to help the victims of the storm."
Edwards, a Democrat, also said Thursday night that he would prefer that President Barack Obama wait at least a week to visit.
Let's see if he actually donates lol.

Trump shows up uninvited for a photo-op, and Obama was asked not to come by the Governor for a week, and you attack the one actually respecting the Governor wishes. Good gosh you're infuriating.
Putting you on ignore. You're by far the worst poster here.

Trump said no to the photo ops. Didn't allow cameras in the halls.

That part explains it all. Edwards is just covering Obama's ass. LA is already facing the aftermath. There is no reason to wait any longer.Originally Posted by Fiyero
And Trump is volunteering right now. He specifically wanted to make the effort non-political and as unpublicized as possible. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he donates as well.

The desperation and aggression in these liberal WKs defending the name of Obama the Honorless is just hillarious. Reminds me of literal cucks, tbh. Sad but true story, m8s.

Obama wants to avoid water hazards.

Trump does photo op in a flood stricken area, while doing zero to help.
Trumpers orgasm with joy, praise how Presidential he is acting.
Cannot make this up.When all that says 'it is good' has been debunked, what says 'I want' remains.

Which is more than either Hillary or Obama has done. Even if all it does is boost morale, why fault the guy for trying? I'm sure it has meaning to the people huddled in tents who see someone important taking a day out of their life to come show solidarity. Token gestures count.Originally Posted by ZenBowman
What I get from this thread: if you're a republican who doesn't go you're heartless but if you're a republican who does go you're fake. Lol. And if you're a lib**** who doesn't go it's because you "care so much," whereas if you're a lib who does go you're a hero.

I suppose you could always go argue with the citizens struck by this disaster who are happy to see him there.Originally Posted by ZenBowman
In moments like these people want a strong figure, such as their president, to be there. They want them to bring a sense of hope and relief. That is exactly what Trump is bringing while Obama and Hillary do nothing.
You can argue all day whether or not he's doing it simply as a strategic move or because he truly wants to help. But the fact still remains that he is doing something. He's bringing hope and a sense of reassurance to these people, while also attempting to actually help. And there's a solid chance he might still donate when all is said and done. He has a history of being generous in times like these.
Don't worry though, at least Hillary tweeted about it and made some calls. Top notch leadership at work.

It's time for you to start actually thinking about this. Do you really think a presidential candidate requires the same level of security detail, security planning, and involvement of local police that a sitting president does? Think about when the president visits a city. Many, many vehicles are transported to the destination city including multiple presidential limos (beasts), multiple SS vehicles including vehicles containing radio jamming equipment. The SS visits the destination city well ahead of time to plan the motorcade route, to scout out positions for security personnel and snipers, to organize and work local police services.Originally Posted by HoganIsGOAT
A Trump visit does not require the same level of security detail and planning that an Obama visit does so stop being disingenuous by claiming that just because Trump could visit on a whim that a sitting president (and one that was specifically asked not to visit) could do so too.
Look, I dislike Obama as much as anyone but your argument here is simply ridiculous.

So Trump is disrupting rescue and aid efforts for his own personal publicity stunt, while Obama is respecting the wishes of the LA governor and his constituents by not dragging the dog and pony show through town during a time of crisis.
Seems about right.

No he's not. Trump is bringing a fine bundle of much needed supplies to victims while Obama plays golf. Of course a democrat governor would prefer his party not be shown up by the other.Originally Posted by SearsBrah
Ya'll make excuses like no other when your side does something wrong. You can justify literally anything as long as there's a D- by the name.
