Trump tours La. flood damage, draws cheers as he says region will rebuild
Fox News.com ^ | August 19, 2016

Donald Trump landed Friday in flood-ravaged Louisiana Friday, where he consoled homeowners and toured devastated communities, telling one homeowner he is "going to rebuild."

The Republican presidential nominee, with running mate Mike Pence at his side, stopped at the home of Jimmy and Olive Gordan in Denham Springs, where the couple was still sweeping out floodwaters from their home. A ruined couch, chair and bedroom furniture were piled on their lawn, and Jimmy Gordan told Trump he spent his 79th birthday on the roof of his house.

"I just don't know what we'll do," the man told Trump.

"You're going to rebuild,” Trump told him as the two hugged. “It's going to be so beautiful."

Trump and Pence received a warm reception as they toured a heavily-damaged portion of East Baton Rouge Parish. A crowd of supporters near a local Baptist church where volunteers have gathered to feed flood victims cheered the pair.

"Thank you for coming, Mr. Trump," one woman screamed.

"We knew you would be here for us!" another shouted.

Trump stole a march on the kenyan and Hillary no doubt by going to LA. Now let’s see the MSM cover up and air brush for Team Dem.

The difference is President Bush wasn’t hiding out and the reason he flew over New Orleans was that he did not want security concentrate on him.

I figured that arrogant pos right at the beginning out.

But than I have never voted for a rat candidate. Not in the primaries and not in the general elections

Just logged on to my email account on Yahoo, and the top story those communist jerks had said Louisiana governor tells Trump to donate, not come to his state.

The media is 100% filled with hate for decency.

He showed what a leader does. Come in assess the situation, listen to what the local authorities need now and in the future and visit/console the victims. Then you direct your staff to assist the community get the most critical needs filled ASAP.

Obama is getting his final free benefits (freebies), from the taxpayers. As long as he gets his, he doesn’t care fore anyone or anything else. This is undoubtedly the worst president in the history of this country.

Imagine how far the $150 billion + $400 million ransom money Obama gave to Iran would go in rebuilding the homes, schools, churches and hospitals for these folks.

Yep. Imagine how far the $620,000 of the taxpayers' money the Mooch paid for one SINGLE NIGHT'S STAY in Morocco to celebrate her daughter's graduation from Sidwell would go to put the people in that story back into their houses. And he can't even cut his golf game short to see them. Blood boiling here.
