Trump will do what Obama won't: Visit Louisiana

Hours after the Obama administration announced the president would not head to Louisiana to tour the devastation left behind by massive flooding, Donald Trump's campaign said late Thursday the GOP nominee will spend the following day visiting and helping the tens of thousands of victims.

Fox News political correspondent Carl Cameron confirmed Thursday from a Trump rally in Charlotte, N.C., that the billionaire businessman will head to the Pelican State Friday.

"I would like to take a moment to talk about the heart break and devastation in Louisiana, a state that is very, very special to me. We are one nation. When one state hurts, we all hurt. And we must all

Obama? We know why - he’s not running again. Where in the heck is HILLARY?

[ColdOne]

This area of Louisiana must be Trump voters? That is why 0 and killary or media aren’t saying a thing about it.

[Gaffer]

Kinda sounds like what they did with Memphis that time.

Brilliant move. Shows what a POS zero is. ,p. It's a double edged sword. After Trump goes there zero/valjar will announce aid to the area and the drivebys will pretend Trump had nothing to do with it. But, bottom line these people who have been flooded out will get a few crumbs after the dems who are given the aid get through siphoning it off to their other commies buddies down-line.

When the wrong people are in charge everyone loses but them.

Hopefully so - but the point is, to me anyway, that Donald Trump CARES about these people enough to be there among them. I believe he is doing a flyover and then is meeting with some of the flood victims. Hillary would faint before lowering herself to meet with the Louisiana “peasants”.

She’s resting. Campaigning is tough work.

[Gaffer]

I’m betting on full blown blood replacement.....

[ColdOne]

You are right about killary. Yes Trump does care.

[ColdOne]

Yes

[canuck_conservative]

Bit by bit, Trump is acting, and sounding, more Presidential every day.

It won’t just be voters in Louisiana that’ll appreciate this trip, other states will notice too. And they’ll also notice Hillary is AWOL when a crisis hits, not a good sign for her.

Voters are drawing their own conclusions about the abilities of the two candidates.

Don’t be surprised if the President springs a surprise visit today to steal Trumps thunder.

[Rollee]

She’s getting the switches re-set.

[jonrd463]

My guess is something else having to do with blood. Look up Countess Elizabeth Bathory.

[Gaffer]

Haha......don’t need to....:0)

[onona]

Good optics

[McGruff]

Fox and Friends just mentioned this. Good move.

Don’t be surprised if the President springs a surprise visit today to steal Trumps thunder. It's a Catch-22 now. If he (or Cankles) shows up at this point, it will be seen as a phony gesture and a calculated reaction to Mr. Trump. If they stay away, also poor optics. Once again, DT has caught them flat-footed.

Getting her icey blood out of her viens would be like sucking a Slurpy through a straw.

“Don’t be surprised if the President springs a surprise visit today to steal Trumps thunder”

Too late. The perception would be that Trump’s visit shamed him into doing it.
