Trump spent 49 seconds "helping" Flood Victims

[my2¢]

Why look a gift horse in the mouth? These visits are only symbolic in nature and I would suspect the simple recognition was valued enough.

Trump had to use up much of his whole day to fly out there, then motor to where they gave out the toys, and then motor back to his plane and fly out of there. He also had to spend a good chunk of money on a semi full of toys, and he had to make the arrangements to purchase and deliver them.

What the fuck did Obama or Hillary do?

The illusion of helping is all you guys need....49 seconds and snarled traffic was all worth it

Yes, it was well worth it, absolutely. Also, 49 seconds is a lot better than ZERO seconds.

Uhh no, its not considering the gov asked them to fall the fuck back so they can actually help people instead of fucking up transportation routes

There are some people who make money and others who pretend to pull a coin from your ear. You like the trick better than the process

That's called "providing political cover to your superior."

What did Barry and Hillary do?

I am sure Hillary was deeply concerned, just ask her, but it is unfair to expect her to do something when she is in rehab.

Obama did all he could do from the first tee and ordered someone else to do something.

He brought attention to the situation and helped get more donations flowing, everyone in LA was grateful he took the time. You're just pissed he upstaged your golfing dear leader.

He brought attention to himself using tragedy as a backdrop then skeedaddled out of there. Of course he upstages...He's all about staging and you love it

That's not what the Governor of La, a DEMOCRAT, said!

And therein 'lies the rub'...you are all butt-hurt because Trump acted Presidential by visiting the flood site, like Barry SHOULD have done, but Barry was too busy not giving a damn and playing golf. Yeah, I do kinda love it, watching Barry shamed into having to visit La and you posting this whining, jealous dribble.

He goes, he catches hell. He doesn't go, he catches hell. Whatever. Haters gon hate. But Trump showed some real compassion and leadership. Much more so than Obama and Clinton have.

No he just does stupid shit here, there and a-everwhere. But I guess talking about it is what is really wrong not the stupid shit itself

He showed more compassion and leadership than Obama and Ciinton have. Period, end of story.

Well CC you have my sincere sympathy for having such a pathetic little life that you feel you need to try to score some misconceived political points on the backs of people going through such a tragedy. Everyone from the governor on down thanked Trump for helping draw attention and additional donations to assist with their situation, and here you are acting like a whiny little bitch. BTW Trump wrote a personal check while he was there to help the people to rebuild, what have you done? Now run along a wallow in your self pity, miscreants like you aren't worth my time.

Trump went for political reasons only. For his own political gain. That is an irrefutable fact.

It's already been determined that the federal response to this disaster is FAR SUPERIOR to the federal response to Katrina.

So chew on that.

Who might have guessed that a round of golf on Martha's Vineyard would bring so MUCH aid and comfort to those poor victims in Louisiana?

It didn't, but this did:

"President Obama has declared 20 parishes for a major disaster for severe storms and flooding, a declaration that makes federal funding available to affected people in Acadia, Ascension, Avoyelles, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Evangeline, Iberia, Iberville, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Livingston, Pointe Coupee, St. Helena, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Vermilion, Washington and West Feliciana. In addition to the 20 parishes, FEMA is conducting a joint Federal and state damage assessment in Assumption and St. Charles.

This federal assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.

Last week when flooding began, President Obama spoke with Governor Edwards of Louisiana last Thursday and ordered federal aid last week to support state and local recovery efforts in the area affected by severe storms and flooding -- support that will continue as state and local officials in the affected areas address the impacts of the disaster. Since then, FEMA and Louisiana state officials have convened a Strategic Housing Task Force to explore immediate temporary housing solutions for displaced survivors. The Department of Housing and Urban Development announced it will speed federal disaster assistance to Louisiana and provide support to homeowners and low-income renters forced from their homes due to severe storms and flooding

The Small Business Administration is also opening Business Recovery Center in Walker, LA to provide a wide-range of services. As of today, SBA has issued more than 57,000 applications to homeowners and businesses. You can learn more about that center here. Businesses affected by the flood can also use the Louisiana Business Emergency Operations Center website to report if their business is open or closed.

Right now, FEMA, through its regional office in Denton, Texas, is highly engaged in response efforts in Louisiana as flooding continues across areas of the Gulf Coast. FEMA staff are on the ground in Louisiana as FEMA continues to coordinate closely with the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. FEMA is also monitoring potential flooding in Texas and in states across the Gulf Coast. As of this week, the Corporation for National and Community Service has assigned 310 AmeriCorps members serving through FEMA Corps to relief efforts, including 114 AmeriCorps members on the ground in Louisiana to support disaster assistance and other critical tasks and 196 members remotely staffing survivor call centers. In addition, 39 AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) members serving through the American Red Cross have deployed to Baton Rouge to support sheltering, disaster assessments, and feeding.

Here's what FEMA is doing on the ground in Louisiana:

• More than 560 housing inspectors are on the ground in Louisiana verifying damages reported by survivors who have registered for assistance. The number of inspectors is expected to increase rapidly over the next several days.
• FEMA established an Incident Support Base in Camp Beauregard in Pineville, Louisiana to distribute supplies such as water, meals, cots and blankets to the state of Louisiana. These include over 800,000 liters of water, over 800,000 meals, over 20,000 cots, and 42,000 blankets.
• FEMA Mobile Emergency Response Support (MERS) personnel and equipment are deployed to the Incident Support Base in Pineville to support the state with secure and non-secure voice, video and information services to support emergency response communications needs.
• After the state requested a Federal Urban Search & Rescue task force, FEMA has deployed Texas Task Force 1 to Louisiana.
• Six FEMA Incident Management Assistance Teams are deployed to Louisiana to support response activities and ensure there are no unmet needs.

Louisiana residents impacted by flooding can directly apply for assistance online or by phone. Already, more than 95,000 people in Louisiana have registered for FEMA Individual Assistance, and more than $16.7 million has been approved to help survivors with temporary rental assistance, essential home repairs, and other serious disaster-related needs. More than 22,000 National Flood Insurance policyholders have submitted claims for flood loss. Additionally, FEMA has authorized and issued $1 million in advanced payments to National Flood Insurance Program policyholders in Louisiana.

...
This morning, President Obama received an update from DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson on the ongoing response and recovery efforts to the severe flooding in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, following the Secretary's trip to the region on Thursday. During his visit, Secretary Johnson met with state and local officials, viewed the ongoing response and recovery efforts, and visited local shelters where those impacted by the flooding are receiving food and disaster-caused needs.

While in Martha's Vineyard, the President has received updates on the situation in Louisiana, including from the DHS Secretary and the FEMA Administrator, who took separate trips there. The President today directed his team to coordinate with Louisiana officials to determine an appropriate time for him to visit, and together they have determined that the President will visit Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Tuesday, August 23rd. Additional details will be announced in the coming days. The President is mindful of the impact that his travel has on first responders and wants to ensure that his presence does not interfere with ongoing recovery efforts. He is also eager to get a first-hand look at the impact of the devastating floods, hear from more officials about the response, including how the federal government can assist and tell the people of Louisiana that the American people will be with them as they rebuild their community and come back stronger than ever."

That's how leaders operate.
