Trump spent 49 seconds "helping" Flood Victims

[Moonglow]

he did, he wrote a check for 100k. So what's the issue? And donated for the kids. wow!!! where's hitlery's check?

She doesn't write checks; she cashes checks.

The writing of checks is left to her little people - who'd sooner kill themselves than open a checkbook.

As usual, you're talking out your butt. FACT: Hillary donates 100 times more to charity than Duh Donuld. And she has published tax returns back to the 90s to prove it.

Where are Drumpf's tax returns?

Still being laundered...

Watch Donald Trump Spend Exactly 49 Seconds ‘Helping Out’ Louisiana Flood Victims

On Friday morning, freshly-minted Donald Trump campaign managerKellyanne Conway told ABC News that Trump and running mate Mike Pence would be traveling to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to “help people on the ground” in a “decidedly nonpolitical event” with “no press allowed.”

As it turns out, though, there actually were members of the press allowed, and the candidate did use the occasion to attack his political opponent, and there were opportunities for photographs, but true to his word, Trump did “help out.” Pool cameras trailed Trump for his entire visit, and over the course of those several hours, Trump “helped out” by unloading a truckload of toys for 49 seconds, these 49 seconds:

After that, it was into the fire house, out the back door, and back to the Trump plane.


I guess the simpliest way to get through to a Trump fan boy is to ask them:

If they said no press was allowed then how was the press there? Also, was that a lie?

How much have you helped n the flooded South?

AvgGuyIA has donated gobs and gobs because he's a multi-billionaire cheeto running for presidency of the US so yes, I agree that ClosedCaption should as well.

Thanks very much to AvgGuyIA for pointing this out. And yes, that's sarcasm because this is the dumbest thing I've seen since the last time I watched trumpkins talking aabout their candidate.

[HenryBHough]

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?

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.

Conservatives desperately want someone, anyone, to be as bad as Bush. Good luck with that.

Truth hurts doesn't it? So how much have you contributed to even the Salvation Army who is helping the South?

 

[easyt65]

Wow - an entire thread started and 12 pages filled all because liberals are butt-hurt that Trump visited La, which even the D-Gov complimented, embarassing Barry and forcing him to finally have to go to La and act like he gives a damn.

 

[easyt65]

Bush ended his vacation 2 days early to go survey the damage done by hurricane Katrina.

Barry decided to get one more tound of golf before being shamed into finally visiting La.

After throwing a hypocritical hissy-fit about Bush flying over Katrina Obama had no intention of visiting La, preferring to play golf.

Even the black residents in La were slamming BLM and the BBPs for not showing up and helping, proving La Lives DON'T matter to them and Barry.

49 seconds? That was a long time for the people of La because at least Trump showed up!

Showing up, getting the deserved media coverage this disaster needs / needed was way more important, but Trump haters, pissed off he upstaged Barry...and Hillary, want to ignorantly try to minimize the REAL good he did. Even the La Gov, a lib, was 'man enough' to give him credit, unlike the pu$$ies on this board.

Pity O'Bumbles couldn't find 49 seconds away from his golf game on trendy Martha's Vineyarc to notice the Louisiana problem.

But, hey, golf DOES require His maximum concentration....

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.

Where is the proof and what did Obama have to do with it? More unsubstantiated BS.

Watch Donald Trump Spend Exactly 49 Seconds ‘Helping Out’ Louisiana Flood Victims

On Friday morning, freshly-minted Donald Trump campaign managerKellyanne Conway told ABC News that Trump and running mate Mike Pence would be traveling to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to “help people on the ground” in a “decidedly nonpolitical event” with “no press allowed.”

As it turns out, though, there actually were members of the press allowed, and the candidate did use the occasion to attack his political opponent, and there were opportunities for photographs, but true to his word, Trump did “help out.” Pool cameras trailed Trump for his entire visit, and over the course of those several hours, Trump “helped out” by unloading a truckload of toys for 49 seconds, these 49 seconds:

After that, it was into the fire house, out the back door, and back to the Trump plane.


I guess the simpliest way to get through to a Trump fan boy is to ask them:

If they said no press was allowed then how was the press there? Also, was that a lie?

once again must it be pointed out to you that 49 seconds is more than both Obama, playing with his golf balls, and Hillary, in rehab, put together.

The Governor of the state said his visit did good to focus on the magnitude of the flooding. That's what real leaders do.

Actually the 49 seconds shows up as a minus for Trump because it was intended to gain him favorable publicity.

And it did as pointed out to you. There is no favorable press that is going to get thorough to the left wing haters.
