Trump Plays the Role of President in Louisiana

GOP nominee tours disaster area while Obama, Clinton won't be parted from politics and rest

In a brilliant maneuver perfectly timed to complement his campaign revamp, Republican nominee Donald Trump today landed in Louisiana to witness first-hand the devastation wrought by flooding not seen there since Hurricane Katrina pummeled the Gulf Coast in 2005.

Trump’s arrival on the scene helps him on a number of levels. Most importantly, it provides a dramatic contrast to Hillary Clinton and President Obama, both of whom have neglected to visit a region where more than a dozen have died and tens of thousands have been forced out of their homes.

Trump’s move to see for himself the plight of disaster victims lends him a presidential aura that critics say he has been lacking due to off-the-cuff remarks that have, at times, sounded as crass and immature. Obama, the actual president, has responded absurdly, refusing to budge from the Martha’s Vineyard golf courses where he is playing nearly daily with celebrities and wealthy friends — even to issue a public statement, let alone visit the unfolding tragedy.

That is what the President should have done, not golf. President Trump come November

Well, Hillary, who rasps that she's 'fighting for you' (meaning us) was hitting $100,000 a plate influence buying and selling dinners up North. No way she'd give up that loot just to make nice with bayou dwellers.

And the ever more disgusting BO couldn't be bother to mention the flood or the affected people.

GOD bless Donald Trump for seeing the need and doing something helpful for those in need.

This worthless president we have and the even more worthless killary are just that WORTHLESS. Go play golf, and go conjure up more lies, the people of Louisiana don't need your presence or your photo ops!

The president has already done his job. FEMA is in there handling business. They have plans to respond to this type of event in place well in advance. Please show me how showing up with air force one and marine one, convoys, police escorts and secret service during the middle of a disaster response makes sense
