I agree. There were no politics in Governor Edwards’ comments.
“I agree. There were no politics in Governor Edwards’ comments.”
Gov. Edwards and ex-Senator Landrieu thanked Trump for the visit and the way he shined the light on the horrible flooding in south Louisiana. Be it for political reasons or genuine gratitude toward Trump (don’t know which is the case nor do I care), Edwards and Landrieu said the right things in the CNN interview with Dana Bash.
Now, Gov. Edwards didn’t want Trump in Louisiana if it would just be a photo-op. When it was reported how Trump donated money to one of the local churches, donated an 18-wheeler full of supplies to the flood victims, and met with volunteers and victims, I think Edwards had no choice but to compliment Trump. Dana Bash was even taken aback by John Bel Edwards giving kudos to Trump and backing up Landrieu’s comments on Trump’s visit.
There was a bit of politics in Edwards’ original comments before the Trump visit.
The Trump visit also made Obama and Clinton look bad by comparison. Obama will visit on Tuesday, but the trip will already be a waste of time.
