I can't believe the gall of those privileged divas, expecting flooding victims to give them a tour. Especially when no one wants them there! It's always about THEM.

The people of Texas don't have time to roll out the red carpet for him.

If they're not showing it on Fox News he can change the station.

It's still pouring rain there. If they fly below the cloud cover, they'll interfere with rescue operations.

nothing more

He doesnt need to stage a photo op where people are trying to save lives

I'm sure he has ZERO concern about what he's disrupting.

We all KNOW he doesn't care but his handlers and managers are making sure he avoids the appearances that GWB gave about Katrina.

Plus if he can put on waders and be photographed in a puddle he'll have a campaign commercial.

...count on Trump not to make it.

Bush visiting New Orleans and making speech in Jackson Square. They brought generators for the tv speech and took them away when Bush left, leaving the city once again without any power.

She certainly won't want to dip her six-inch designer heels into any nasty water.

Maybe an important Dolce Gabbana for a serious situation, like maybe $20,000.
Let them eat cake, hmmm.

Right up there with "Malaria."

Which is not flooded or anywhere near the coast. He won't get to see the ocean-front properties, since the storm is coming right back up on them, and they are obscured by clouds.

Have you ever been to Houston? It's not only heavily populated, it's very spread out. There's no way to evacuate that many people in the midst of that kind of flooding - people would have been stuck in their cars, and probably drowned in them (as happened during a previous hurricane). There were no really good options, but it was not a mistake to order an evacuation.

But they didn't. They made the sensible decision to try to avoid what happened during Hurricane Rita.

can be extremely dangerous, possibly more dangerous than staying. And Corpus Christi isn't nearly as big as Houston.

from what I've read, they had no idea the storm would stick in one place for that long.

The people running the city made the best call they could with the information they had at the time.

Either way, people would criticize.

what it would've been like with thousands stuck in gridlock traffic when Harvey hit? Not to mention where would they get enough buses to evacuate millions.

You joined just to tell us how precious trump is and how bad the mayor's decision was?

Edit to add: And take a stand for Arpaio?

Stop these morons "freedom" of speech with a 2×4 to the teeth .

from all the spinning.

The entourage would just make it more difficult for the first responders.

and the chance to be the center of attention.

if she waits - both Trump and her might be penniless. I'd like to see Trump go the way of Bernie Madoff.

to withhold whatever money she manages to get in her settlement. tRump always silences his women with monetary punishment long before the I Dos are exchanged. So she won't even get the satisfaction of exposing his private ugliness as only a tRump wife would know. I still have a hard time working up a lot of sympathy for her though because she was well aware of who and what he is long before she married him.

But, if he loses all his money, he has no leverage on her.

(Vincente Fox she doesn't sleep in another city.

Fuck him.

Maybe he'll hand out maps of his electoral win...
I miss President Obama, especially in times of crisis.




?quality=60&strip=all

But I get your point. You want a president to offer assurances and comfort like Obama did, and all Trump will do is show up for a photo-op and talk about himself and how Texas voted for him and what a great job "his" team is doing. He'll be wearing a baggy suit and one of his ridiculous 6-foot-long red ties held together with scotch tape, and one of his stupid red hats to keep his bizarre hair from blowing around in the wind. Melanoma will be wearing Manolo Blahnik shoes with 6" heels and some weird but expensive outfit intended to make her look as busty as possible per hubby's demands, and she'll look all pouty and angry. They will not go out in the rain or hobnob with hoi polloi, except that a few selected supporters might be allowed to approach them to offer their gratitude.

His focus is always on Donnie.

"Holds you in his arms and you can feel his disease." Or something like that.

President Obama is a truly good and kind human being.

We all need a hug from him and Michelle after 200+ days of Idiocracy.

Can't picture Donald doing that at all.

if walking a block or two was called for.

It reminds me of the man who had written "Fox Lies" in large letters on a paper and held it up during a Fox and Friends televised segment in a diner; the hosts had to address it and made some kind of lame statement.
Expose the fools publicly and throw them off their game. RESIST!

That was a thing of beauty that day - and remember Cheney had used those words to Pat Leahy so the response was timely.

He spoke for all of us here at DU!

Great find

DU Time Machine!

I'd tell him to put on an old Tee and jeans and water boots, and get over to the Houston Red Cross and volunteer.

unless it's golden showers?

Less damage and water there, as Harvey moved off to the NE.

...interfering with search-and-rescue efforts, but they're going to completely fail to do anything useful.

He should be fine jumping into 12 feet of fast-moving, gator-and-snake infested, crisscrossed-by-downed-powerlines floodwaters in a lightning storm with tornadoes advancing. Sitting Presidents can do that because normal rules don't apply to sitting Presidents.

I certainly won't tell him any different.

but honestly.. why would they go to where it is actually flooded? Isn't there enough drama going on down there as it is?

neither has the hair for it.

Keep the sTrumpets out of it entirely, unless Texas needs more vermin.

With you, friend.
