Droves of people turn out to watch Republican nominee hand out water bottles and diapers as locals commend his efforts: ‘This is his stomping grounds’

The post-disaster politicking got under way in earnest on Friday, as Donald Trump appeared in flood-stricken Louisiana to give his image a presidential burnish, and as the White House announced Barack Obama would tour the area next Tuesday.

Thanks for posting that pic of christie and obozo after hurricane sandy hit. Christie did that so romney would lose the 2012 election and then he, christie, could run in 2016. Didn't work out for him as all repubs understood what he was up to.

It's a great pic. Obese christie and ol' scrawny-butt himself.
 
Donald Trump goes to Louisiana flooding site, spends a minute handing out Play-Doh, leaves

The Governor of Louisiana warned Donald Trump not to visit the flooded disaster area of the state if he was only coming for a photo op, which would have created a traffic jam and diverted law enforcement away from helping with the recovery effort. So instead Trump showed up with a small truck of supplies and proceeded to spend a total of forty-nine seconds handing out those supplies before giving up and leaving. Worse, the “supplies” he handed out to flood victims were cartons of Play-Doh. No, seriously.

Photos of Donald Trump taken by those on the scene and posted to social media reveal that Donald Trump spent less than a minute handing out supplies – just 49 seconds according to at least one bystander – and he more or less just handed the supplies to Mike Pence the whole time. But in a storyline so strange that it wouldn’t be believable if there weren’t photographic evidence, Trump was literally handing out the children’s toy Play-Doh, as if that were of any help to those people in Louisiana who had just lost their homes or livelihoods to flooding.

When Trump wasn’t busy spending a few seconds handing boxes of glorified clay to the survivors of a tragedy, he was seen signing autographs> for random people, and tying up the first responders who had been tasked with the recovery effort.

In other words, Donald Trump took an already bad situation in Louisiana and made it harmfully and embarrassingly worse for his own personal amusement. Some might argue that it’s a metaphor for what he’s spent the past year doing to the Republican Party. Trump had an opportunity to make the Louisiana situation work for him – but the optics of how he conducted himself have likely erased any perceptual advantage he might have gained if he’d done it thoughtfully.

Play Doh?
Oh yeah, just what flood victims need.
Yuuuuuuuuuuuge help.
Thank you Mr. Trumpf.
 
A mile or so from where Trump had stopped to distribute supplies from his 18-wheeler, Joyce Humphries sat in a pickup truck Friday with her chihuahua, Elvis Presley, and looked out over a lake that used to be her home.
“Everything is gone,” she said.
Humphries said that Trump’s visit was good enough to win her vote. “We will take any help we can get,” she said.
 
It also leveraged regional frustration with Obama. The Baton Rouge Advocate published an editorial comparing Obama’s vacation on Martha’s Vineyard to George W Bush’s response to Katrina. “Sometimes, presidential visits can get in the way of emergency response, doing more harm than good,” it said. “But we don’t see that as a factor now that flood waters are subsiding, even if at an agonizing pace. It’s past time for the president to pay a personal visit, showing his solidarity with suffering Americans.”

LOL

Heaven forbid that the Playdough be available for children, who have lost everything, to be played with.
 
Maybe they could have used some bottled water.
Ever thought of that?

He was told to stay away and he brings Play-doh, not water, or cash for the local organization, and Play-doh, but Play-doh.

There has to be something else in that trailer! I feel it is a joke, and I'm missing the punchline.

No, as usual you just drank the bs media kool-aid because you liked what it implied. A picture of him handing out play-doh not one of him handing out water and other supplies.
 
Play doh! It's a wonderful supply. The best supply. It's gluten free, hypoallergenic, and it's soy based and colored with natural dyes. Perfectly edible. One of the tastiest treats. Fantastic!
 
Somehow I get the impression Trump had a warehouse full of play doh that's been moving off the pallets too slow so he decided to donate some of the product and write off the retail value. I bet it's a cash positive maneuver.
