Just saw the dog and pony show the president and his wife put on.

She sure did dress down.

Work shirt and really tight pants.

I bet she could not wait to change back to high heels and fashion clothes.

Must have watched some video of President Obama and Michelle.

This is a little to.late.

Should have done this the first trip to Houston.

Just doing damage control.

Hey wearing a baseball cap that says Texas on it
means nothing.

Totally different from the first trip.

First time they could not get out of Houston fast enough.

Now they were falling all over themselves dealing with the flood victims.

Then that crap about his hands.

Ok I am one pissed off Texan.

My city is under water and they are playing games.

Some body talk to her.

She was wearing black tennis shoes like I used wear when I was kid. Mine were high tops.
Just trying to be like the common folk.

She was trying to get away from that first picture.

Must have took lessons.

I was called names for ponting this out.
LOL.
I responded, "Trumpet ad-hominems are always so boring".

is that he'll turn right around, head back to D.C. and keep working to defund the organizations that provide rescue and care services in situations like this so he can get his wall, since Mexico keeps telling him to fuck off.

The poor dupes keep falling for empty words and P.R. images while they willfully ignore unpleasant facts.

All he did was hand a few boxes.

He kept wanting to leave and they kept handing him boxes.

Finally he just walked away.

Thrush and Haberman at the NYT can be reliably counted on to repeat whatever the president wants then to say. That's why he calls them when he has a story to tell.

America would be a lot better off if the NYT reporters actually used their brains to speak the truth, rather than repeating the lies of the president.

the normal consolation duties. But, if you turn the sound on, he says the same thing - consisting of about 5 words - over and over and over and over and over. The purpose of the trip had nothing to do with victims and everything to do with photo ops. They must have explained to Trump what a truck was before they sent him out to load one.

Remember when they had to pry his tiny, little hands off of that "Big Rig" he was sitting in, making the "Vroom, vroom" sound while he was living his life-long dream in a photo opp?

Clearly they didn't want to be there. He is incapable of showing the least bit of genuine empathy, and it seems she's the same way.
