“We’re giving you a lot of help,” Trump said to one resident.

“Do you want to see my house? It’s over there,” another resident said, pointing to a badly damaged yellow house across the street.

Trump crossed the street to a small brick house, where he stopped to greet an older man in the T-shirt. Behind the house, a large yacht had washed ashore and was shipwrecked against the wooden deck.

He gazed at the yacht, saying, “Is this your boat?” The owner said no. Trump turned and replied with smile, “At least you got a nice boat out of the deal.”

Speaking to reporters, Trump said the owner told him his insurance company didn't want to pay for the damage to his home.

3. Yet Trump is being praised for being so reserved over the last 48 hours...bar is set so, so low.

4. "And other than that, Mrs. Lincoln ...

... how did you like the play?"

Does anyone doubt that if Trump had met Mary Todd Lincoln outside Ford's Theater on that fateful night, that is exactly the question he would have asked?

6. It almost seems like this is just a bad movie.

Yet, everyday, we awaken to this POS as "our" president.

7. If there were aisles, people would be rolling in them. Who knew Don did stand-up?

Poor guy with the yellow house is probably wiped out and Don turns into Shecky Greene.

8. Wonkette had a great take on that:

Donald Trump Saw A Boat! In A YARD! WOW!

As if the state didn't have enough burdens, Donald Trump showed up yesterday in North Carolina where he attempted to do the "empathy" thing, and at least managed not to chuck any paper towels at anyone. But then he saw a great big sailboat that had come to rest in a guy's front lawn, and damned if he could think of anything else, because he is four years old.

Trump simply couldn't stop thinking about the sailboat, because wow, a boat in a yard, you don't see that every day, do you?

"I think it's incredible, I think it's incredible," Trump said. "To see what we're seeing — this boat, I don't know what happened, but this boat just came here. And do you know whose boat that is? They don't know whose boat that is."

Trump is expected to appoint a blue ribbon commission from DHS to investigate the boat: Who owns it, how much it cost, where the boat was moored, did the boat have a nice interior, did people like the boat, will the boat still float, does the boat have a motor too, or just a sail, should the boat be in a parade, and could the boat come and live with him at the White House? Bet Barack Obama never had a boat like that.
