No link, sorry. This was just on CNN.

1. A complete waste of police resources.

God he is such a fucking idiot!

[TBA]

3. Yep...

He should stay away until the dust settles. People could actually die because of diverted resources.

[steve2470]

16. yep

He will just be a distraction and detract from emergency responder resources. I'm sure he will say all kinds of lies.

[defacto7]

2. Wonder who talked him into that?

[icymist]

4. He needs to take credit for any rescues.

In his mind, "See how great I am? I traveled into a disaster zone!" Idiot! Taking away emergency personal when they are needed the most! Maybe he'll have another rally to show his base that we need to build the wall to keep out threats from Mexico! After all the hurricane came from the Gulf of MEXICO!

[defacto7]

15. He'll charge emergency personell for his trip.

[malaise]

19. Most of the rescues appear to be by fellow citizens

Fugg the Con

[Jarqui]

5. Thoughts of Bush-McCain and Katrina

too bad Putin's b-day isn't until October ...

Having said that, heavy odds are Trump will find a way to say something heartless or offensive

[applegrove]

6. Did you hear Ted Cruz acting all caring on CNN. Does not strike me as

the type of senator who would support government disaster aid.

[DFW]

17. He won't be soliciting campaign contributions from New York or New Jersey.

He supports disaster aid if it's convenient, and is against it when it's not.

[malaise]

22. He didn't when it was Sandy in the North East

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. He was against federal aid for Sandy.

Called it "pork."

Fuck him. A lot.

[Not Ruth]

7. Isn't the rain potentially circling back to Houston Tuesday?

[leftstreet]

9. Gosh, that would put him in danger n/t

[dalton99a]

8. "Fantastic visit. So many lives saved! Amazing site + will never forget! #MAGA"

President Trump will visit Texas on Tuesday amid the ongoing recovery efforts for Tropical Storm Harvey, according to the White House.

The details of the trip, including the location of Trump's visit, are still to be determined.

“The president will travel to Texas on Tuesday," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. "We are coordinating logistics with state and local officials, and once details are finalized, we will let you know. We continue to keep all of those affected in our thoughts and prayers.”

Trump on Sunday praised the agencies responding to the disaster and said he planned to visit Texas.
“I will be going to Texas as soon as that trip can be made without causing disruption. The focus must be life and safety,” the president wrote on Twitter.

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence held a second teleconference with Cabinet officials Sunday to discuss the ongoing response to the storm, which first made landfall on Friday as a Category 4 hurricane.

“President Trump continued to stress his expectation that all departments and agencies stay fully committed to supporting the Governors of Texas and Louisiana and his number one priority of saving lives,” the White House said of the teleconference.

The man cannot focus on a single thing if it isn't about himself!

12. I'm sure there is a shortage of Pla-doh there...

[left-of-center2012]

13. Governor Abbott (R-TX) said this morning ...

"Trump is the best friend Texas ever had."

Wait! What?

How about Davy Crockett and the gang at the Alamo?

[DFW]

21. The best friend?

Compared to Trump, Santa Ana was a defender of the Alamo.

That goes for Abbott, too, while we're on the subject.

[steve2470]

24. +1 nt

[lpbk2713]

18. Tell him there won't be any cameras there ...

and see how quick he cancels.

[6000eliot]

20. Can you imagine having gone through this hell

and then having the deranged Orange Clown parading around trying to make it all about himself?

[steve2470]

23. anyone who isn't totally delusional about the Orange Mistake will be offended and outraged nt

[Warpy]

25. Yes, escorted by Blake (ducky pajamas) Farenthold

Too bad fat floats.

Juanita Jean scooped CNN: http://juanitajean.com/

[Pope George Ringo II]

26. I don't know why anybody would be against this, other than diverting emergency services

If we can get him on camera talking about what a heck of a job Abbott is doing, that would be worth its weight in gold.

[Grammy23]

28. What are they going to do? Lower Bloatus from a helicopter ?

This I gotta see. Do ya think he will wear a suit with an extra long red tie? Or his khakis and a MAGA hat?

[VOX]

29. I can hear him now:"I own property in Houston, most people didn't know that."

And the followers of Cult 45 will make the cable-"news" rounds with, "Houston made him truly presidential."

[OldHippieChick]

30. Have been bouncing among CNN, MSNBC and

The Weather Channel, so not sure where I heard some poor delusional fool say this flood was a humbling experience and he was certain the President would be humbled as well. Can't believe the slew of horrific invectives I slung at the t.v. So much that I had to switch to the Food Network to keep from screaming. Like this fool has any idea the meaning of the word or could even be capable of the same. Lord give me a break.

31. He'll go but wont stay

No tRump hotels in Texas....
