In reply to the discussion: CNN is claiming Trump is touring flood-damaged LA as he stands there in an auditorium. [View all]Fritz Walter
(4,373 posts)18. He's trying to look "presidential" while taking a swipe at the POTUS
Repulicants and their minions are criticizing President Obama for staying the hell away from the disaster area, which would have to divert precious resources to support a president's visit. Some are even trying to compare the President's physical absence from the scene with W's flyover after Katrina. What they fail to take into account is the vast difference between FEMA' FUBAR then -- under "heck of a job, Brownie" -- and the timely, well-managed Federal response underway, led by an emergency management professional, Craig Fugate.
If Drumpf and his stooge Pence really want to show their concern and do some real good, they'd open their checkbooks. Oh, right ... Never gonna happen.
