I really loathe presidential hugs. Did Ike hug? Kennedy? LBJ? Nixon??
Like Pat Buchanan said this a.m. They are the BAH Humbug folks....at least he made me smile.
The press, on the other hand, is acting the same as it always has. And a CNN reporter wonders why people jeer him...
If Trump had gone to the folks and started crying the media would say he was faking it..there is NOTHING President Trump can do that will please these jackasses
Anyone with a memory can recall how the media savaged GWB after Katrina for political purposes.
Now, forget about all of that - because GWB just followed the time-worn traditions of disaster management, and its now TRUMP who is the outlier.
Once again, FAKE NEWS and manufactured narratives at their worst.
Trump breaks with past presidents because he's not out hugging people in staged photo-ops.
Really? You guys at the WP are that desperate?
Give me a break.
Yeah, all those others were good at the photo ops. Esp Obama. So, if Trump went down there, and with Melania did a lot of hugging, and holding babies, the ridicule would be heard from Corpus Christi to Miami.
He can’t win. Right out of the gate they’re criticizing him for going there too soon. Melania mocked for wearing stilletos “to” Air Force One. They mock cause he didn’t approve funding fast enough, ignoring that he designated it a disaster area BEFORE the storm. Now this.
Ignore them. Totally ignores these people.

Sounds about right....coming from Pajama Boy! Who’s got the pic?
The idea of producing an up close and personal narrative is a purely lib sentiment. Observe, orient, decide and act is Trump’s style.
I also suspect that there was very little disruption of rescue operations due to his presence.
So far they have criticized Melania’s shoes & this false “lack of empathy”.
The Dims & media are so pissed that POTUS has done such a great job handling this disaster, & they have no legitimate reason to criticize him.
The Urinal is not a creditable source
The Urinal is a propaganda rag, stained with the blood of slaves that cut the wood to make the paper
In real time, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution did not praise George W. Bush on Katrina (sorry I can’t speak off hand about the prior Republican Presidents). It and the mainstream media lambasted Bush. They were reflexively partisan. It is (another) lie that they are criticizing Trump but didn’t criticize prior Republican Presidents.
The following is word for word what the lyin’ Atlanta Journal-Constitution said about Bush. It;s exactly the same, no sympathy for the victims line they’re now saying that only Trump is guilty of.
“Each time you hear a federal, state or city official explain what he or she is doing to help New Orleans, consider the opening paragraphs of a July 24 story in the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
“’City, state and federal emergency officials are preparing to give the poorest of New Orleans’ poor a historically blunt message: In the event of a major hurricane, you’re on your own.’
...
“And yet apparently there was no emergency plan and no resources to evacuate ‘the carless, the homeless, the aged and infirm.’
“In this era when we are a nation at risk of terrorism and natural disasters, we can only hope that what is happening in New Orleans is not built into the fabric of our national homeland security policy. We should provide security for everyone, including the poor, aged and infirm.”
>>And, why wouldn’t they lie? They’re Democrats. They’ll steal from you, and regulate you like you were a slave, and give them a chance and who knows what else they’d do to you. We know what they think you are. You’re deplorable and irredeemable.
Any photo ops inside shelters would have been called pandering. There would be tweets that he gave babies cooties. Nothing will make them happy.
No, just get on with signing orders to aid.
Texans are not about weeping, wailing and hugs. We don’t waste time on that emotional crap, roll up your sleeves and get to work. Trump’s response was 100% correct for Texas. I know it wouldn’t work for the touchy feely libs and snowflakes, but as we all know, snowflakes don’t last long in Texas.
Trump’s attitude: The hurricane made a mess. Let’s get together and fix it!
Let us not be victims. Let us be conquerors.
If Trump had arrived just before the hurricane, and with all his might, blew the hurricane away from the coast, and magically stopped the rain, they would be attacking him for that.
Opposition party’s media will always look for something negative to say about President Trump. President Trump is a man of action.
President Trump won’t pander to people with an “I feel your pain” faux news bite like the left, while doing little to ameliorate the suffering of Americans.
Meanwhile, our new FLOTUS is awesome. What First Lady ever went with her spouse to a disaster?
