Trump to visit Texas Tuesday to survey storm damage from Harvey

Since the president travels with a large retinue of Secret Service agents and under a rigorous security protocol, most administrations avoid visiting during the height of natural disasters for fear they will pull resources away from rescue and aid attempts.

But for Trump, his need to have his photo taken trumps all else. This gives him another opportunity to talk about himself.

He should pay out of his own pockets for all the extra security required.

What are the odds that he blames Obama, the spectre haunting Trump's white male house, for the storm?

What's the status of the 'really great infrastructure plan' these days?

Fact: In case of emergency,Donald Trump can be used as flotation device.

Very buoyant!

This will be, "Yuge. A beautiful storm, Beautiful. We're winning against storms. Winning."

Let this be a reminder to blindered conservatives who think the government should barely even exist, and do everything they can do to starve organizations like FEMA and HUD of funding, but have no problem supporting a war in Afghanistan that costs hundreds of billions of dollars a year and produces no benefits whatsoever. The government has many legitimate functions, and you just never really know when you're going to need one of them. Like disaster response, medical insurance, food stamps, education, and the list goes on.

Question: Which Scammer-in-Chief rescinded Obama’s Flood Risk Rules weeks before Hurricane Harvey hit?

I am very confident that it was done for personal profit and straight jealousy. I wonder if those Texas Trump supporters are tired of winning yet?

I wish those people luck. No one should have to go through that.

It's better to just accept that natural disasters happen and that as human beings on this planet we'll have to do our best to survive it.   It's one of the basic hazards of our environment on this planet.    Other animals have done it for millions of years, our ancestors did it with a lot less access to what we have now and no help relief.

Natural disasters suck, but man-made disasters (such as war, pollution of air and water) are much worse because they're unnatural, and could be prevented with some sane intelligent thinking.    Give me a hurricane any day over that.   There are at least support systems in the event of such things.

If he DIDN'T go, you'de be whining about THAT too, so, what's the difference ?

Too soon or too late. the complaints are never going to change.

How will Trump make this hurricane all about himself instead of a natural disaster and the people who suffered?

Will Trump callously say that rolling back flood protections two weeks before helped people in Texas? Will Trump's supporters?

No disaster could be worse than someone with a cheeseburger where the brain should be occupying the white house.

why tell everybody where and when he will be going? there will be pro and anti demonstrations and one or two people will die. he should just turn up suddenly.

...one or two people will die.

Very likely true. And a sad indictment of what Trump has wrought....

Hurricane Donald will sort this out pronto.

This disaster is not a political issue. CNN and Fox fully support the President going to the disaster zone ,as every President before him has done the same thing in a Federal and National disaster. Seems Japan Today posters are more concerned with bashing Trump instead of showing real concern for the disaster itself.

I have concerns and know people there, but I haven't personally heard anything out of the area.

My concern is unleashing Trump on them after all they have suffered and to have his visit be all about him.

I don't care if he does a flyby or doesn't shake anyone's hand or pat them on the back.

I just don't want him to speak about himself.

What should we expect of a Trump visit and what effect will Trump have on the businesses and individuals hit by the disaster?

I don't care if he does a flyby or doesn't shake anyone's hand or pat them on the back.

According to the news it seems his administration is doing a pretty good job so far. Support is happening in a very timely manner and the Texas Government seems to be satisfied and in sync with the Federal Government.

Only time will tell...

In July, Gallup posed another question to Trump's disapprovers: Why? Nearly two-thirds cited his personality or character, while less than a third cited issues, policies or job performance.

Its not even about Trump's actual performance anyway. People on the left have just been trained to dislike anything he does or says.

People on the left have just been trained to dislike anything he does or says.

People on the right have just been trained to like anything he does or says, and thereby ignore any bad things he says or does.

And nearly everything he does is bad or at a minimum tone deaf.

The left had no problem with Bill Clinton making Robert E Lee's birthday a shared state holiday with MLK in Arkansas in 1987, which lasted until this year. Now Lee is a racist.

The left had no problem with showing the movie Gone With the Wind at a screening every year for the last 34 years until now, now its racist.

The left had no problem with free speech until now. Antifa is non violent, despsite the attacks in Berkeley yesterday that the media is ignoring.

So now as far as the storm, the left had no problem with the Dem Houston mayor telling people NOT to evacuate against the advice of the Republican governor and federal agencies. Until now when these same people are trapped and need to be rescued.

But everything is fine on the left, so lets just have a Video Music Award show in Hollywood and trash Trump. Thats more fun that dealing with actual problems. If this were a right leaning event, the media would be aghast that it was even held at all while a national disaster is going on.

Great! He can appear in a few photo ops and brag about himself a bit more on the issue, and also proclaim himself the victim of the hurricane and flooding, claiming the media is misrepresenting his awesomeness.

If this were a right leaning event, the media would be aghast that it was even held at all while a national disaster is going on.

At this moment in time, America under Trump is a right leaning event. I couldn't be any more aghast at what's happened to your country.

Aren't the people of Texas suffering enough?

He'll shake a few hands, get his photo taken and be off again to the golf course. He doesn't know what empathy is, I doubt if he could say it.

Last time Houston was evacuated, they traffic jammed the roads that are needed by the people of the Gulf Coast, who really needed to evacuate

Let this be a reminder to blindered conservatives who think the government should barely even exist, and do everything they can do to starve organizations like FEMA and HUD of funding,

What on Earth are you talking about? What none sense.

but have no problem supporting a war in Afghanistan that costs hundreds of billions of dollars a year and produces no benefits whatsoever.

I'm not sure, but I would tend to think the Generals and Pentagon would know a lot more deeply as to why we need to quell the unrest. I don't know, but I don't have that kind of clearance to make any guesses, if I do, they are personal opinionated ones. There's a reason for everything.

The government has many legitimate functions, and you just never really know when you're going to need one of them. Like disaster response, medical insurance, food stamps, education, and the list goes on.

I agree, but under Democrats they increase it, baloooning it with hundreds of bureaucrats and concentrate and send all financial resources, starving the private sector and killing it. We need these programs, but we don't have to increase the size of the government, we need to be smarter and fiscally more responsible, if anything, we should have learned that from the last two previous presidents.

Great! He can appear in a few photo ops and brag about himself a bit more on the issue, and also proclaim himself the victim of the hurricane and flooding, claiming the media is misrepresenting his awesomeness.

So unlike Obama and Bush, the president acted promptly and swiftly and it still isn't good enough for the left? I mean, for the American left.

Blacklabel: Antifa is non violent, despsite the attacks in Berkeley yesterday that the media is ignoring.

Can you find a single left-wing major publication saying Antifa isn't violent?

Here's the coverage of the story being "ignored". Do you agree or disagree with it?

Masked Anarchists Attack Pro-Trump Demonstrators in Berkeley

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/08/27/masked_anarchists_disrupt_peaceful_berkeley_protest_attack_pro_trump_demonstrators.html

But things were mostly peaceful until the anarchists arrived and began violently assaulting the right-wing protesters. Among those attacked was Joey Gibson, the leader of the Patriot Prayer group who had canceled a planned rally in San Francisco on Saturday. In another case, a small group of the anti-fascist protesters, known popularly as antifa, savagely beat a man before someone broke up the violence. The black-clad protesters also attacked journalists who filmed their violent actions. 

Violence breaks out at Berkeley protest

But it was soon punctuated by tear gas and a scattering of violent skirmishes. Some anti-fascist protesters, wearing black and with their faces covered, chased or beat Trump supporters and organizers who had scheduled and then canceled the “anti-Marxist” rally, citing concerns over safety.

Your comments about the coverage in our media is so wildly off the mark that it leads me to believe you are making assumptions rather than doing research.

Are you taking the time to visit left wing websites?
