Trump comes to B.R. Obama plays golf

I don`t know that any more needs be said.

Obama posted a 16 page letter on discrimination during a natural disaster. Basically wanted to make sure the blacks were helped and treated fairly

Also makes you wonder about the black lives matter and new black panther party. Where were they? They had time to come down her a month ago and block traffic and cause all kinds of troubles, but when their people are in danger and really need assistance, they are no where to be found.

Let him play golf...Do we really want him down here anyway?

 

[pyreaux]

Rather not have any of them here sacking up police resources that should be used for the people. Trump could easily have donated the cost of his travel and had a press conference.

I don't understand why trump came down at all. But heck I don't understand why trump hasn't dropped out the race yet either.

He came down with a million dollars worth of aid.

Between the two, I'm going to vote for Trump no doubt. But his visit was simply PR and a photo op. Trump was here for 6 hours, what did he do beside shake some hands, sign some autographs, pat people on the back, and hand out some gifts for photos and video.

If Obama visited, it just ties up people for security, and the traffic jams. Nothing worthwhile will come of it. Just stay on your vacation.

Do you have a reliable news source link that documents Trump brought down/donated a million dollars in aid that day?

Source? Not saying it isn't true just haven't seen it covered.


Taylor Swift Did donate a million dollars.

I feel it was PR also and that's what I don't understand. He will carry Louisana and the floods are not even being covered very well on a national level. I don't see this helping him in Nov.

Though it was mostly a political move, no one made him buy an 18 wheeler worth of supplies to give away, it wasn't the governments money, it was his own.

 

[oppsImissed]

Question is, would Trump have done anything if he wasn't running?

Don't read anything about a million dollars donated in your link. That trailer load might have cost him a couple hundred thousand....chicken feed for the national publicity he got from it.

And I don't discount something is better than nothing, but I just don't believe his motivation was purely humanitarian.

For past storms I've helped pack many 18-wheelers with supplies and don't think the cost was anywhere near a million dollars. "again I could be wrong"

Shows who's on the ball & who plays with them.

He is very much unwanted in Louisiana. John Belle can speak for himself when he talks of "welcoming" him.

 

[sandman7925]

The amount of tax dollars it cost for a president to travel anywhere he should stay away. And any future president shouldn't visit a place unless it's absolutely necessary. I would've kept playing golf too. I have no doubt he was being briefed multiple times a day on a lot of things.

And Trump was on the ground for how long? Maybe an hour? Not too impressive. Now, if he would put on a pair of rubber boots and some leather gloves and help rip out a few rooms of wet sheetrock, that would be newsworthy!

You idiots rip on him as if you were all voting for Hillary.
