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.

There is nothing more perfect he could have said to these people. They just needed to be reminded they will rebuild. We gain strength from each other in times like that.
That’s what Bob Dole thought about Mr. Bill in 1996.
And to think that Obama was playing golf. By the time he gets there Tuesday, some are going to wonder to themselves, ‘Where the ‘bleep’ was he?’
‘Hillary will stumble in next week and eventually Obama too ...’
Not a bad prediction you made. Obama won’t be there until Tuesday.
“You’re going to rebuild, Trump told him as the two hugged. It’s going to be so beautiful.”
That is clearly Trump’s own words. A real estate mogul, a builder. He can emphathize.
Just like with the Milwaukee riot. A hotel manager sees panicked people flee into the shelter of his building sometimes. He sees the fear in their eyes. And just from reading the transcript I could see it from his perspective how people generally want to sleep safe and sound.
That’s the way people are, a side of them he had seen more closely than most of us for his entire life.
