1. Woman said - "We lost everything but knew your would come

so it makes it all worthwhile".



good lord

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. I'm sure Hitler heard similar things while touring cities bombed by the Allies.

[Croney]

2. "We lost everything, but we knew you would come and

..this makes it all worthwhile." A woman actually said that.

[Grassy Knoll]

3. Mr. Trump, Mr. Trump, Thousands Have Lost Their Homes....

...Please Sign My Trump Hat.

[liberalmuse]

5. Looks like a hand-picked crowd.

Interesting. And some of the comments made by some in the crowd seem...scripted. And the weirdest thing of all were the armed guards coming out of the plane. I've never seen that even with the POTUS - is this normal?

4. mr climate change denier and his little weasel pense POS -

He talked to volunteers and victims, signed autographs, and left

--snip--

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is taking his reckless and dangerous denial of climate science to the heart of a crisis fueled in part by climate change.”

6. I didn't see Trump hand out a single MRE or bottled water in BTR

Much less write a check to fund the relief effort.

This is the literal definition of a photo op.

His idea of helping out is signing ball caps.

Stay the f@#k outta my hometown, Trump.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

7. Thank you Mr. Trump -

Trump – thank you for coming to Louisiana and helping to unload a truck and making your huge super huge donation to the Red Cross!!

Next stop – Miami Beach – Zika virus (the GOP has already helped so much!)

Then off to California to help fight the fires!

[Warpy]

14. What was his donation, a hearty handshake?

(holding limp right hand out to demonstrate)

I'm sure the suffering people who are contemplating what they can salvage from six inches of mud in their homes while tearing out soaked sheetrock and insulation are really happy to be used as props for his campaign. I'm sure the first responders are delighted to have to provide an escort for him instead of helping their neighbors.

16. It wasn't a donation, it was a "sacrifice."

You know, like losing a son in Iraq. He's sacrificing himself for the nation. Just like Jesus, in fact. Better than Jesus, since Jesus never signed autographs.

[Croney]

8. It takes under a half hour on major roads

to drive from the airport in Baton Rouge to that church. Hardly a tour of the flood devastation.

[underpants]

13. How about the body language? He looked like he didn't want to get within 10 feet of them

You could almost see his shoulders slump when he realized he had to actually get near them.

[jehop61]

9. Now will he go to

fire ravaged California? Any votes available there?

[yuiyoshida]

10. No votes for him in California, not enough any way

to even be worth giving out autograph ball caps. Save your autograph Mr. Trump! I would rather have A REAL QUALITY AUTOGRAPH!!

[Plucketeer]

11. Sadly - in my California District (CA-22)

There's LOTSA votes for Trump. But then, we're also the POOREST district in the state with the WORST air quality - which I suspect affects folk's thinking.

[underpants]

12. He actually shook someone's hand

I don't think he's done that for the entire election going back to the primaries.

15. Just heard on Hannity just said "Obama plays golf and Donald Trump is in Lousiana loading sandbags

[thucythucy]

17. "Loading sandbags???"

LOL.
