Trump Going To Texas Sooner Rather Than Later Is Because.....

[global1]

as this disaster drags on - and you can begin to see it already - the people of the area are getting more and more frustrated and angry. The last thing Trump wants to do is to face some angry flood/hurricane victims.

Also - another reason for him not to go to Houston - is because I don't think he wants a photo op with the black Mayor of the city. This Mayor in my opinion is doing a fantastic job managing the situation that he was dealt.

1. Black mayor? No chance in hell he goes there.

2 reasons, first he really does very much hate black people and second, his base does too so no reason to go out of your way being seen with someone with non white skin.

Can you believe I am accurately describing the

GOD DAMN

FUCKING

PRESIDENT OF THE GOD DAMN UNITED STATES ???

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. No offense...

But I hate your description of the President. I hate that it's true.

So disgusted by him.

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. I hate it too.

18. Whole lot of Latinos in Houston, too

Thump doesn't seem to like Latinos who aren't whiter than white much more than he likes Afro-Americans.

That man is a disgrace, and I hope the voters of Texas reject him and/or his Republican pinch-hitter if #45 flat-lines or becomes incapacitated before November 2020.

2. I think it's because he hasn't been getting much attention for the last few days.

At least, not much positive attention; he's been getting some well-deserved shit for the Arpaio pardon. He probably wants to get out in public in a red state where he hopes "his" people will show up to adore him.

9. You Can Bet Your Boots That Any People That Get Face To Face With Trump Will Be.....

screened so that it can be assured that they are supporters of him and will boost his ego.

This is going to be the photo op of photo ops. I wouldn't be surprised if it will be produced by Mark Burnett - producer of the Apprentice.

It will be interesting to see if Trump will have prepared comments that he will be reading from a teleprompter or if he go rogue. If he goes off extemporaneously - katy bar the door - cause he's bound to say some of the most outlandish things you've ever heard.

This guy has no empathy - nor can he identify with any of the people affected by this storm.

I think it's a bad call to have him visit Texas this soon - while this disaster is still on-going.

15. He'll be surrounded by adoring rubes wearing red MAGA hats.

Probably few or none of them will have actually been in the hurricane because those people have bigger problems to deal with. But SCROTUS' advance team will find plenty of fans happy to participate in the photo op.

I hope the humidity doesn't ruin Melanoma's hairdo and her $1,000 shoes with the 6" heels don't sink in the mud.

Swear to God, I don't ever want to see another red baseball cap for as long as I live.

16. They'll fly in this guy

I'm sure he can pretend to be from Houston

12. My first thought. Not enough attention on him; he needs to steal back the spotlight.

Watch for him to stay or do something really stupid.

[lunatica]

3. Maybe he thinks he's going to another one of his rallies

I doubt he would come to California if we had a disaster. No Trump rallies here.

4. Big-city black mayor? Hell no

[rurallib]

5. Think he is going now because he criticized Obama for waiting too long

and as always he must show that he is better than the black guy.

Fucking clown - better to stay away and let the responders use their resources for recovery.

[Wounded Bear]

6. MSNBC says Trump is going to Corpus Christie, not Houston...

not sure of the mayor's ethnic/gender alignment, but there you go.

[maryellen99]

8. It's that POS Blake Farenthold's district nt

10. Can't beat the photo op with the Prez for the local rep...

[uppityperson]

11. Surprise, surprise.

Although mayoral elections in Corpus Christi are officially nonpartisan, McComb has been identified by the Nueces County Republican Party as a member of the Republican Party.

17. Please no press conference

If he answers questions,he always stirs up anger.

Please flat shoes for Melania.

[raven mad]

20. Yep.

The silk purse sow's ear will wear what he tells her to.
