Easy move, even for the low-wattage bulbs running trump’s campaign. Pretty soon the stenographers in the media will dub this a “real turnaround” moment. I mean, since they’ve already dubbed the flooding to be President Obama’s Katrina of this particular year, or possibly just of this month or news cycle.
“We welcome him to LA, but not for a photo-op,” said his spokesman Richard Carbo in a statement. "Instead we hope he’ll consider volunteering or making a sizable donation to the LA Flood Relief Fund to help the victims of this storm. "
Somehow, I don’t thing Trump is a very attentive listener, Gov, but I admire your optimism. Oh, and I’d be willing to bet that he’ll find some way to fuck things up and create a controversy.
Did Rump and Pence bring their waders??
If anyone takes a photo of these two, its a fucking photo-op. Plain and simple.
If anyone thinks Rump will donate any of his money to those in the flood zone…they haven’t met Rump. That’s for sure.
LOL
This could make a nice campaign ad for Hillary, a la those Life Lock (I’m not really a dentist/exterminator) ads:
(Trump emerges from his SUV as Trump/Pence motorcade, press corps, and Ivanka’s hair and makeup team block traffic to first responders and crews manning pumps)
(blub blub) “President Trump! Save us!”
“Actually, I’m not the president – yet – I’m just a presidential candidate. So I won’t actually do anything to, you know, help, OK? I’m just here to show some heartfelt concern and see the flood for myself.”
(blub blub)
“Yep, that’s a bad flood ya got here.” (frowns) “See ya. Don’t forget to vote.”
“Where you going?” (blub blub)
Remember this blast from the past and how it helped President Romney?
@srfromgr Should make for an interesting photo-op with tRump in his Brooks Brothers hip waders.
I’m sure he’ll offer to rebuild all of the flood zone while he’s down there too. Because supposedly he knows how to build shit…I’m sure he’ll also leave out how that would be done with other people’s money if it ever came to that. I’m fairly certain he’s just hoping someone names a highway after him for offering.
Donald Trump and his running mate Mike Pence were traveling to Louisiana Friday to survey the flood damage
Yes, but see you misunderstand. He is literally surveying the damaged property. He has plans - yuge plans, the best plans - to buy it all up and build his Brown People Detention Center there.
“We better put some drains in the Wall”
“Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues.”
I will never stop loving this.
"Damnit, there’s too much at stake for us to worry about all the shit I called you, or the long-term damage I’ve done to the GOP, or what my ties to Putin are, or even my actual commitment to the issues at stake!
There is! Just! Too! Much! At STAKE! "
Trump has dramatically revamped his campaign this week following a staff overhaul, trading his freewheeling rally speeches for teleprompter remarks and polished ads…
…and the media has already returned to licking his taint.
