Louisiana Governor Kindly Tells Trump To Screw Off After He Tries To Exploit Flood

[Cigar]

Louisiana Governor Kindly Tells Trump To Screw Off After He Tries To Exploit Flood For Photo OpIn what the Red Cross is calling the worst natural disaster in America since Hurricane Sandy, Louisiana is experiencing catastrophic flooding. Thousands of people have lost their homes. At least 13 people have died. And a state that is still rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina is left to bear the burden of yet another tragedy.

Right on cue, Donald Trump has decided to opportunistically exploit the situation.

Having spent the week screaming at journalists on Twitter and re-arranging chairs on the Titanic, Trump abruptly announced that he and his running mate Mike Pence would be traveling to Louisiana to “survey” the damage. Until then, he hadn’t bothered to mention Louisiana a single time. It’s unclear if he was even aware there was a flood.

Telegraphing his play, Trump’s camp suggest that by going down to Louisiana while President Obama was still on vacation, Trump cared more about the victims. Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, run out of the offices of Breitbart News, boldly proclaimed, “Trump Visits Louisiana Flood Victims as Hillary Rests and Obama Vacations.”

The cynical publicity stunt fooled absolutely no one – including, it seems, the governor of Louisiana. In a biting statement, Gov. John Bel Edwards pulled no punches:

Donald Trump hasn’t called the governor to inform him of his visit. 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 this storm.


In other words, posing for pictures does nothing. If Trump actually cared about the people of Louisiana, he would break out his checkbook or start filling sandbags. The Republican candidate seems unlikely to do either. There just isn’t enough publicity in those sorts of things.

Cut and paste kook alert. Usual suspect.

How is Barack Hussein O's golf game coming along?

Where did he tell Trump to "screw off"? Even your link said that the Governor will welcome him.

Anyone remember Trump's visit to Louisiana after Katrina?

Outside of your small bag of "remarks" have you ever had an original thought?

[nathanbforrest45]

I did hear the Governor state that having Obamalini visit would be a major disaster for the relief effort. Didn't really hear that for Trump.

BTW
I didn't realize Trump was a national figure in 2005. Did Obama visit New Orleans then?

Thanks maineman, it seems the governor didn't tell Trump to screw off.

[maineman]

Thanks maineman, it seems the governor didn't tell Trump to screw off.

he sure told him he wouldn't welcome him just for a photo op. I'm sure the Donald took that just fine.

Facts are important, right?

[Tahuyaman]

Facts don't matter to these bootlickers.

[Bethere]

It's ok if you disagree with him. You can't force him to be right.

[The Xl]

Trump is damned if he does or doesn't. Lol at anyone who takes the media seriously.

[hanger4]

Still having problems thinking for yourself I see.

I bet if you thought real hard you might even figure out the OP title is a lie. Occupydems and PticUSA are notorious for that.

[Mac-7]

The governor is a democrat so his attack on trump is politically motivated

[maineman]

Read the thread title. You are defending the premise of the OP.

[maineman]

I pointed out that the governor did "welcome" him, but specifically said that the welcome was NOT for a simple photo op.... which is all that Donald really wanted to do there in any case. I "defended" nothing.

Try to remember that Bethere's comments are always the mark of a superior intellect. She is a legend in her own mind.

Is Bethere a she ?? I truly don't know. Just askin

[maineman]

You thanked the OP.

solely for this sentence:

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 this storm.

[maineman]

pretty sure its a he... Think Be There.... not Beth Ere

I've read a couple times posters saying she. Asked one sometime ago and Bethere accused me of insulting him/her. Never did answer the question.

Like I said... I defended nothing. If you can't learn to write with any greater degree of specificity than the blundering you call prose now, you should take up housepainting.

What comment of mine have I refused to defend, L.S.O.S.?

[maineman]

You're gutless. If you are a retired naval officer, I'm a former chief of staff.
Wanna bet? Wanna put your money where your mouth is, "sarge"? We've been done this road a few times before, you and I. You question my integrity... I offer to prove to you my status as a retired O-5... You always run away. Stay away from the raicilla next time. Moron.

[maineman]

I figured this would be like all the rest. Nutless.

So... Back to the topic at hand... Did the Donald score some major points with the cajuns? Did he write a big check?

[maineman]

You're gutless. If you are a retired naval officer, I'm a former chief of staff.and it's funny you should mention former chiefs of staff. I just hooked up with one on LinkedIn earlier this week. We served together with the UN back in the early 80's. We're gonna hook up this summer or next in New England where he and his wife have their summer home. I'll ask him if he ever knew an E-9 like you whose career plan was to just get by.

Lol..... Maybe you, him and Colon Powell can get together for a reunion?

[Tahuyaman]

The Governor's political leanings are meaningless. This thread is once again proof that liberals make up a false narrative, defend it, then go into denial mode when called on it.

Gutless wonders.

[maineman]

Lol..... Maybe you, him and Colon Powell can get together for a reunion?

never met Colin Powell... but I climbed to the top of Cheops one day with a future Chief of Staff and he even took my picture up there.

[maineman]

We'll hang at Scituate, Mass or Portland, Maine either this summer or next. And truth be told, you won't come up in conversation once. What a waste of time and breath THAT would be!

[Tahuyaman]

You are a pompous blow-hard. No one is impressed with your idiotic stories.

[maineman]

I'm not trying to impress anyone.... merely finding irony in your bringing up chiefs of staff... you insult my service, but can never quite man up.

pathetic.

[maineman]

all the polls. Trump doesn't lead in any of them, and hasn't for over a month now.

[Tahuyaman]

What a pompous ass.

[maineman]

what a sad sack excuse for a sergeant.

[MisterVeritis]

And yet...Trump is going to win.

We have about 80 more days.
