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.

I really believe this was “compassion” for the folks rather than a photo op like the dems would wont to do...
I can’t believe the MSM is mentioning this! Trump just won the election!
Trump has a big heart.
At least he dropped everything and went. 85,000 homeless. Because of the type of damage i.e. rising water there may be billions in uninsured losses unless they had federal flood insurance. These people are really hurting in this natural disaster and my prayers go out to them.
A must see...Donald Trump tours Baton Rouge floods, greeted by the people! THEY LOVE HIM!
Warn your liberal friends..be careful if you DARE watch Mr. Trump...he GROWS on ya!
Notice how he LISTENS and absorbs information....
First two minutes and last two are the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5AqZh6Pkwk
A preview of the Trump presidency.
He sure does, contrary to that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave who only thinks about himself
I hear bubba and the beast are flying over to Martha’s vineyard tonight to celebrate Bubba’s birthday! No time for the peasants in Louisiana. .....just...Let them eat cake!
Absolutely... in a fair election absent voter fraud.
I totally agree with you.
USA,USA,USA! Go Trump. I like him more and more everyday.
Actuall, he does. He just doesn’t advertise it.
This is a FOX report, you won't see anything close to flattering or supporting on CNN, CBS, ABC or NBC.
I wonder if Family Guy will do a bit portraying Obama playing golf during the floods, as they did with W “hiding out” during Katrina. Probably not.
Where is FEMA? They are going to need temporary quarters while their homes are rebuilt/repaired. Do they really expect Trump to have a Hotel built for them? All trump can do is talk to people, and that’s a photo op. They will need more than bottled water. The Insurance adjusters are on the way, but its going to take more than a couple of months to get the place back in order. The school gym is a total loss, but would make a basketball game more interesting.
The Trumps are good friends of Franklin Graham and Sumaritan’s Purse. There is a picture of Trumps, Palins and Greta and her husband taken years ago. I’m sure since Graham met DT at the plane he invited him down
I expect to see a segment on Gretas show tonight with contact information to how to give. IIRC all goes to benefit the projects nothing for administration.
In a sense DT is helping raise the funds to aid the people of LA. He’s not just visiting
He sure does grow on you. I was okay with him but didn’t really care a lot for him. Now I absolutely love him and will support him to the bitter end.
Most have figured out Obama by now. Even dyed in the wool fourth generation Democrats know Obama is only about himself, with the American People a very distant second.
The flood victim told Trump “We knew you would be here!”
She welcomed his presence.
