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

If I were truly a rich man, I’d go there asking what these poor people need immediately. If it was in my power to facilitate that, I would do it whether it be water, small boats, generators, food or what have you. OBAMA’s GOVERNMENT CERTAINLY ISN’T GOING TO DO IT.

They first have to have a place where this asshole can land his air yacht and military cargo planes that carry his frigging helicopters on which will be a myriad of photographs of a “concerned, caring President with only words.”

The area is getting Federal Emergency help. Obama signed it. But does he care?? Do I have to ask?

Just curious. Who now is Obama’s “Brownie’s doing a great job at FEMA.”?

Early under the 0bama presidency, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. had a bad ice storm. Really bad. Remember that?

I was shocked that 0bama said/did nothing. Didn’t visit. Didn’t care a whit.

Eventually, the area was declared a disaster. MREs were brought in....with RANCID peanut butter.

That was then I knew 0bama was pure scum.

I also remember the various floods and tornados’ damage that 0bama didn’t bother with.

If you look it up, however, in 2005, 0bama (then, Senator) went with George W Bush to see Katrina damage on the ground.

If it isn’t Muslim, Islam related, black related or related to big ass money, Obama is most definitely not interested. It’s his way.

OOOoooo-— good call. Yes, where are they? They were all at The Greenbrier doing their “training camp” and doing various public programs recently!! Btw, at the same time, The Greenbrier was taking in West Va flood victims for free....while the Saints were there.

Pond scum is a perfect choice of words to define virtually all of the CNN anchors and commentators.

She’s resting. Campaigning is tough work.

Yeah sitting on that stool for half an hour and putting up with the smell of the unwashed (remember Harry Reid's statement) takes a great toll on the great Hillary! body/person/figure/whatever.

***anchors, regular commentators and guests with their ill-concealed hatreds and obsessions of everything good have progressively sunk to such a low level...

I am constantly reminded of Candy Crowlet and Mitt Romney in the last GOP surrender... she set Romney up, and he was either unprepared or too cowardly to take her on - like when he said our greatest threat was Russia and suffered endless condemnation without defending himself.

Now we have a candidate who is prepared to take on the fight and the media is apoplectic. Tough!

We are one nation. When one state hurts, we all hurt.

This is the message that Trump brings.
A message of inclusiveness and healing.

The articles I read this morning on the flood all mention Jeh Johnson. I’m thinking what does homeland security have to do with this? Are they in charge of “refugees” foreign and domestic?
