Doesn't matter if the original story is true or false.
Huh?
Now the truth doesn't matter?
This is the world we live in now---where you can make up an allegation about anything against anyone, and whether it is "true or false"..."doesn't matter"?
Yeah, he should have said “Have a miserable time.”
And he visited North Carolina to show he cared even though NC is a safely Republican state. I remember during the 2016 floods here in the Baton Rouge area, Obama couldn't even interrupt his taxpayer funded golf vacation on Martha's Vineyard to come visit. While Trump came and donated a truck full of supplies using his own money.

But perhaps the latter isn't relevant.
Now you're saying he caused the hurricane.
You do know that there are people from all over the country in here, right? Any one of the posters in here could have lost everything or their families may have lost everything, whether through this hurricane or because of some other calamity...you don't know squat about other people yet you judge. pathetic.

He still has us in Afghanistan after 17 years accomplishing nothing of benefit to the US, same goes for Syria and Yemen among other wastesful places.

Who got us there? Bush and Obama. How many US service men dead in Afganistan under the Peace prize winning Obama's surge? Over 2000. Much more than even Bush. How many under Trump to date? 27. What ever hes doing its a huge improvement over Berry

You mean the 2016 floods when the governor asked the president to wait to tour the damage since having the president and the secret service in Louisiana would put a strain on available resources? Yeah, how horrible of Obama to listen to the governor's request instead of trying to score political points.
Obama didn't need to go down to Louisina to provide the aid the people desperately needed. He could do that from anywhere. Being on vacation doesn't mean he's actually on vacation from working. Isn't that what is said about Trump's weekly golf vacations? He can work just fine from Florida, he doesn't need to be at the White House to get things done...
Anyway. I would think money is what the people needed, not the playdoh brought by Trump (who was a private citizen at the time, so of course he used his own money and not federal money). Obama was able to provide aid without physically having to be in Louisiana, and without causing any hardships on the limited resources need to help with the flood. How is that a bad thing? It's not like he never went to Louisiana, he waited for a more appropriate time.
He has proven this, prior. He has no idea what to do, doesn't know what to say. He is trying to appear "uplifting" due to an inability to process anything difficult or threatening. Just as he endlessly uses superlatives with all he states - "greatest, terrific, fantastic, wonderful, tremendous"...(y'know, he "has the best words"). It's incredibly embarrassing. Many High Schoolers could be of more assistance and demonstrate more empathy and care.
We are dealing with a guy whose parents obviously did nothing to raise him appropriately. He must have exhibited Sociopathy for one thing, having been swept under the rug. He was allowed to and learned to skate by due to coming from money. And that is ALL he has ever been about. The big pretender. (Thank you, Drumpf family. ) And we see how his own adult children have issues.
Some apparently had such expectations of him in the beginning, thinking he was a "normal, capable, adult professional" (hah), with some still persisting on believing this, amazingly. Actually, I think some just don't want to admit what a mistake this has been and merely enjoy the opposition involved.

There is nothing like cutting through all the crap and getting to the point.
