LA governor: Trump helped bring much needed attention

[Darth Omar]

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) said Sunday that Donald Trump has helped draw attention to recovery efforts after the recent devastating floods in his state.

In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," the governor downplayed critical remarks he made before the Republican presidential nominee visited his state.

"I didn't dismiss his trip as a photo-op. Before he came down, I said we welcome him here, we want him to be helpful," Edwards said. "And we hope that it doesn't turn into a mere photo-op."
Edwards said Trump's visit to the state was positive for Louisiana.

"Because it helped to shine a spotlight on Louisiana and on the dire situation that we have here, that it was helpful," he said.

Obama is still on vacation.

LOL. Trump is already doing a president's job, isn't he?

 

[Darth Omar]

You could say that lol.

It's refreshing to see Trump do something besides sabotage himself for a change. He's still behind in the polls but maybe he's found the bottom. Thing of it is, the media, the Clinton machine and even people in his own party have thrown the kitchen sink at Trump, and he's still hanging around.

I bet the media bashes him for it or doesn't even really play it. But will play Obama visiting.

cool beans...the Clinton machine was firing bullets at him for doing so.
I'm glad the people of LA thought it worthwhile; that's all that matters.

I have relatives in Metairie- I think they are OK, i'll have to write them

Trump did a good thing, got political points, and out shown crooked Hillary and our golfer in chief.

There will probably be an itemized list of what Obama / Clinton "contribute".

What a Politically Correct thing for Trump to do.

Not really, but it sure was philanthropic. That it upsets liberal jackasses, priceless.

Obama is never fully on vacation, and the governor has no complaint with the response. The media is focused on the Olympics and a little of the campaign. This is the reason the flood has not received as much publicity as it normally would.

I donated money it is the best way to help, any reputable organization. They often prefer cash, unless they call for specific items.

Good for you. But you don't run around calling people cowards for not doing things offline.

Was Bush?

And I don't buy the Olympic thing.

Still PC.

Still PC.

I guess bringing much attention to their plight is not a good thing, but just a PC thing.

Whatever.
