(164,161 posts)Trump Disobeys Louisiana Governor to Bravely Deliver Play-Doh to Flood Victims (VIDEO)
Nathan Wellman | August 19, 2016
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump defied the wishes of Louisiana Governor Edwards today to briefly participate in unloading Play-Doh off of a supply truck while being surrounded by media.
Governor Edwards, currently responding to some of the worst floods in his state since Hurricane Katrina, had previously said of Trump in a statement that We welcome him to Louisiana but not for a photo-op. Instead we hope hell consider volunteering or making a sizable donation to the LA Flood Relief Fund to help the victims of the storm.
Trump went to Louisiana anyway, having previously criticized President Obama for working on his golf game while Louisiana citizens suffered.
Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway insisted that the visit was not a photo op, praising Trump for acting presidential and describing his stay there as a decidedly nonpolitical event, no press allowed, going to help people on the ground who are in need.

The total emptiness of the whole operation could make a maggot gag. Very low rent ordeal, so much noise about nothing. The media people must have felt like complete buffoons, scurrying along behind this clown like a pack of rats, ready to see history being made. Oh, my, god.
