I haven't seen news reports -just online. it depends on how much grandstanding he does.
But the reports I HAVE seen appear the residents ( who are the only one's that count here -not the politicians)
seem to be happy enough he was there

I'd guarantee it. Not from his slush fund foundation [aka other people's money] but out of his check book.

Though I doubt he uses checks.

The office of Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards signaled that Donald Trump is welcome to visit Louisiana in the wake of destructive flooding, but only if he does not use it for political gain.

"Donald Trump hasn’t called the governor to inform him of his visit," a spokesman for Edwards' office said in a statement Thursday evening. "We welcome him to LA but not for a photo-op. Instead we hope he’ll consider volunteering or making a sizable donation to the LA Flood Relief Fund to help the victims of the storm."

Edwards, a Democrat, also said Thursday night that he would prefer that President Barack Obama wait at least a week to visit.

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on Friday called the visit of the Republican nominee and running mate Gov. Mike Pence "presidential" and "a decidedly nonpolitical event, no press allowed, going to help people on the ground who are in need."

Obama could not go to the flooded areas, because it would take away from the already stretched law enforcement personnel from the flooded areas to help with Obama's security!

Did Trump write a check? Did he show up with a tractor trailer load of supplies? No. He did a photo op. Exactly what he was asked not to do.

jesus. the people didn't complain. Some Democratic governor makes a big squeal about " interfering "
and all the reports I've seen don't mention it. The rescue work is done -this is clean up time, he's not bothering emergency responders.
