And if Obama had gone, you'd be criticizing him for using resources that should go for relief efforts.
That's not true. I would have been more upset had he not spent those resources getting there. Promptly. Which leads me to ask again, who really cares about those people?
Sure it is. You guys have done nothing but give Mr. Obama hell since the moment he showed up on the national scene and most often it has been for the dumbest things like playing golf, not wearing a flag pin, not using a certain word to describe radical islam etc...
Lost what?You still can't handle the fact he is far more genuine than Hillary is. He was in Louisiana and she wasn't. That says a lot about a man who supposedly cares only about himself.Trump wouldn't help anyone other than himself...
If he was not running and was not far behind,
he would probably be making fun of LA people...
Or try to con them like he did lots of others...
Hillary wants to be POTUS, she needs to act like it and go down there and pretend she cares at least.
Trump has done more in the supposed "49 seconds" than Obama did in the whole time he has been there. I mean you have to pry the man away from his golf game and force him to care. And Hillary can't be bothered to go down there. I guess it's because stepping in the water will make her short circuit or something. Ah well. Who actually cares about these people? Obama? Hillary? Or Trump?
Trump is a flawed man granted. But not so flawed as to not care about people suffering from natural disasters. Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, it doesn't matter. He's helping them all. There's no racism or bigotry in that.
Last week, Donald Trump toured areas of Louisiana that had been devastated by flooding. During his visit, news outlets reported that he had made at least two donations to flood-relief efforts there. Since then, The Washington Post — which has been covering Trump's past promises to donate to charity — has tried to confirm these reports.
Here's what we've learned so far.
1. Trump promised a $100,000 donation to Greenwell Springs Baptist Church, which lies to the northeast of Baton Rouge, in a zone affected by floods. Trump had visited the church on Friday and helped hand out supplies for a few moments as cameras rolled.
That church's interim pastor is Anthony Perkins, who is also president of the Family Research Council — a powerful and politically active Christian conservative group that condemns abortion, homosexuality and what it calls "transgenderism." In recent days, the Baptist church has organized volunteers to help clean out flood-damaged homes and has offered hot meals and supplies to those affected.
Perkins said Tuesday that Trump's gift had not yet been paid.
"I've been told the church should [receive] it on Friday," he wrote in an email to The Post.
Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for Trump's campaign, said that Trump intended to send a personal check, rather than a donation from the Donald J. Trump Foundation — a charity that Trump runs, but which is largely filled with other donors' money. She said the check would not be sent out until Trump himself could return to the office to sign it.
"That was a personal check from Mr. Trump," Hicks said. "It’s a personal contribution from Mr. Trump, and I believe the church should be receiving that on Thursday or Friday."
2. Trump has also been credited — by CNN, and by his campaign — with donating a truckload of supplies that arrived in the flood-ravaged town of St. Amant, La.
"This 18-wheeler, we're told by officials, donated by Donald Trump," CNN's Rosa Flores said on-air on Friday, as a forklift unloaded pallets of supplies from a truck in the background. The tractor-trailer was parked at The Church in St. Amant, near a command post for the regional authorities which Trump visited. She interviewed one of the church's pastors about how badly the supplies inside were needed. This was a different truck, apparently, than the one from which Trump was videotaped handing out supplies.
Hicks, the campaign spokeswoman, had not previously responded to queries about the truck. But, on Wednesday morning, she called The Post to say that Trump was indeed responsible for it. She was unable to say how Trump had arranged for the donation.
Donald Trump did donate a truckload of supplies in La., and intends to write a $100,000 check, his campaign says
You have pretty much lost it.
Just another way Obama's leadership is helping America.
I doubt triple bogeying the 9th hole in his golf game at Martha's Vineyard, while flood victims languish in a disaster area, is any type of leadership.
In fact, I think the caddie would show more leadership than our president.
See what I mean? Probably not; you're eaten up with the dumbass and are a Trump Supporter which means you're beyond help.
Obama made assistance from the Federal Government available to La's Governor a week before Trump showed up to autograph caps.
Fuck Trump.
Kid, you don't get out much, and I know you don't hang out with the country club types, so let me help you out here with some reality.
Nobody plays golf because it's a fun game.
Playing golf is an excellent way to make deals.
It's healthier and more fun than sitting in a bar or boardroom.
And touring the disaster area is a great photo op, but it is less effective that working remotely. Then again, people like to see their hero at ground zero, so
But it was dumb of him to pass out boxes of socks. Food, water, baby formula, flashlights, batteries, otc meds... a lot of other things would be more useful in 100-degree heat.
Trump wouldn't help anyone other than himself...
If he was not running and was not far behind,
he would probably be making fun of LA people...
Or try to con them like he did lots of others...
TK thinks Trump exhibited genuine concern for the people of LA.
That's funny.

So how much did you donate to the victims?
Let me bet, 0$. Trump gave 100K of his personal money. Hillary barely gave her word.
You have no high ground to stand on.

That's funny.
At least he didn't wait 10 days like your lord and savior. Ha, and you actually think Obama exhibited genuine concern for the people of LA.
Now that's funny.

Absolutely. Obama did what was asked of him by the governor of LA. He made resources available in a timely and effective manner.
You are a victim of ODS.....and you support Trump. Only idiots support Trump.

Obama did not ignore the matter for 10 days. You are not being factually accurate.
Nobody believes that Trump cares about those people.
You love the guy.....because you are an idiot.
Obama did not ignore the matter for 10 days. You are not being factually accurate.
Actually he did. The flooding in earnest began on August 12th. Obama didn't get there till this passed Tuesday, the 23rd. That's 11 days, my factually challenged friend.
Nobody believes that Trump cares about those people.
Tell that to the families he visited in Louisiana.
You love the guy.....because you are an idiot.
If that's all you have against me, that I'm an idiot for supporting Trump, then your weak attempt at character assassination has failed.
Move along now.

Interesting. Did you ignore the people of LA who suffered this great tragedy? I think you did. You have no heart.
