How would Trump using the victims for a photo op be worse than JBE making him feel unwelcome for equally political reasons?

Clinton is scheduled to visit next week, right? Is JBE going to make her pick up a shovel too?

What kind if jackass tries to put down billionaire visits to draw attention to our state for help?


Would he say that about Buffet, or Bill Gates, or Soros?

How fricking clueless can a person get? Help is help and publicity is help.

He just xantvstop being an Obama dick sucker long enough to shut the frick up.

Glad this bottom bitch for the Dems can afford to turn away potential good will from a billionaire. Wait, he can't... He just doesn't give a shite because this billionaire is a Repulican. Hate or love him, Trump is the result of crooked politicians like JBE who put their party over the well being of the citizens they represent.

Well It's more that Vitter was found to be an enormous hypocrite. He preached abstinence only sex education for crying out loud, all the while plowing hookers as a married man. But we can only hope Vitter is a last remnant of a dying breed of elitist preachy hypocrite out-of-touch Republicans.

Sooooo, what your saying is you're an idiot?

The first step is admitting it, so congrats on the beginning to a solution!

How is this a "weirdish statement"? Isn't Donald Trump known for "playing the media"? That's why he is where he is today. He will come down, say some stupid shite, get in a boat and go to an area with a lot of damage, take some pictures there and eventually you will see a commercial that says "trump was the first one in Baton Rouge after the great flood. If he doesn't he is a bad politicians, but as for as the people who lost everything, trying to recover what they can and make their homes livable again, worrying about Trump is the last thing they are concerned with.

He brings press and attention, something we need to ensure that adequate resources are allocated.. This disaster is one that needs to be seen, in person to truly see the destruction and despair many people face.. He's not the president and doesnt require the same attention from a resources standpoint, so whatever he does is a plus


This.

I'm not voting for Trump, but I'm glad that he's bringing attention to us. The Democrats who are "fine" with Obama playing golf while Louisiana floods and California burns are putting up a facade. They know that Bush was called out for every smile and facial expression whenever there was a crisis during his presidency. Now Obama has stayed clear of Baton Rouge during two separate crises during the same Summer.

shite, Obama didn't even bother to send Biden this time.

He's a short timer, riding it out till his retirement.

It's simple. Fly into the airport, jump on a heli. And fly over the affected areas. No traffic problems at all. He can see Aton of damage from above.

When he comes down here the media will pay attention to him and not the people suffering.

FWIW people have been sending help from as far as California and New York. What else do you want? Let's be honest here things aren't that bad for you if you have enough time or access to social media to notice that no one is paying attention to you.

I just received a notification that Donald Trump's campaign manager has resigned. So guess what? He comes to Baton Rouge and you know what the media will be worried about? Not the floods, but they will be asking trump about the issues he is having in is campaign.

Yesterday I posted that he will find away to frick up his trip to Baton Rouge by doing something that would make it about him. I am not saying he asked for his campaign manager to resign today, but whether he does it directly or not, the environment he creates is nothing but one huge cluster frick.

Anyone who starts with the "so what are you going to vote for Hillary?" I will vote for whoever I want to vote for, but as of right now I am thinking about just throwing my vote to some 3rd party candidate. And for those who say "well if you vote for a 3rd party candidate that's like voting for Clinton". My vote for a 3rd party is my way of saying our political system is fricked and that this two party bullshite is hurting the country more than anything because candidates put party before country..

Anyway, I got off track, but yeah.. The reason Trump hasn't contacted the governor or anyone is because he wants to get in and out. Take a few pictures, maybe say some bullshite then quickly get out. If he was really worried about driving media attention to the state, etc he would have made it a story, like he does anything else he wants to become a story, but I know this is blasphemy to all of his supporters so I guess its pointless to even post this.

Has the Governor said anything about Obama's lack of fricks to give?
Yes, he said he wants the POTUS to hold off coming down b/c his visit takes LEOs and first responders away from the purpose...
