This trip was planned last week. It is not a new "gotchya" moment. It is a good thing that he waited.
people who hated our president before the flood still hate him -- no sense trying to talk sense into them --- they're still thinking Trump's birther movement had merit
I posted this on another thread, but it will work as well here:
We are all pleased as punch that Donald John Trump flew into Louisiana, donated a truck-full of supplies (although no one knows if he paid for the contents, or his campaign paid for the contents, or Mr. Pence hijacked the truck and drove it down to meet Trump), visited for some 30 minutes and asked questions, and then flew off north to speak at a rally. Really, the people of Louisiana could not be more pleased. "Losing everything I own, well, it was worth it to see Mr. Trump and be able to buy one of his hats saying "Make Louisiana Dry Again", was frequently heard.
Obama? Lazy. The rains began on August 11th. On August 14th President Obama finally got around to
declaring that a major disaster existed in the State of Louisiana and ordered Federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts. Here is a nice list of the help FEMA is proffering:
Oddly enough, I have a memory. It goes all the way back to March 2016, when Obama again had declared portions of Louisiana a disaster area due to flooding, with Federal government assistance:
I wonder why Donald John Trump, aka "Mother Teresa Trump", did not visit the good people of Louisiana at that time? Could it be because the Louisiana Primary was on March 5th, and the flooding was a week afterwards? Hmmmmmmmmmm?
I have a memory also. It goes back to 2005 when candidate Obama and all of his bedfellows in the news media criticized George W Bush for not stopping by Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina.

I agree. I'm reminded of a poster I once saw that said, "Don't confuse me with the facts. My mind is made up."
How many claims do you suppose FEMA field offices had already received before Trump got there?
Any idea how FEMA was on the ground so quickly?
yeah, how silly of these posters. Everyone knows that the only reason people were able to call FEMA to begin with is because Obama gave permission. no one, I mean no one, would have called otherwise..
