President Trump will meet with victims and tour parts of Texas and Louisiana affected by Hurricane Harvey on Saturday.

Trump will “visit with storm survivors and tell them personally that the federal government is here to help in any way that we can,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday, describing the upcoming trip. This is the president’s second visit to Texas and first to Louisiana following the storm that made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane last week.

Trump was "not able" to visit storm areas or meet victims during his last visit to the area, according to Sanders, but will do so this visit. The president was criticized following his first trip for referring to his visit as seeing storm damage "first hand."

Last week, Trump visited Austin and Corpus Christi. This weekend, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will visit the hard-hit Houston, Texas, and Lake Charles, Louisiana, areas, according to the White House.

1. Everyone is wondering ...

What will Melania wear.

[pangaia]

2. AH HA AH HA AH HA HA HA........

Need I say more....?

[virtualobserver]

3. hand picked storm survivors.....

with moist and moldy MAGA hats.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Those hats will be the TRUE survivors

in their minds and will be proudly waved during an impromptu (faked) "campaign rally".

[virtualobserver]

16. what is your call? all white rally complete with anti-mosquito torches to prevent disease.....

or hired actors flown in to simulate the proper ethnic makeup of the crowd?

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Ended up being the latter

as I had figured given that Kelly was obviously running that show. The optics were still ridiculous.

[George II]

5. He'll be selling new ones off the tailgate of Air Force One.

[virtualobserver]

15. maybe he can get the Red Cross to buy them to distribute at the shelters as humanitarian aid

[groundloop]

6. He'll also be handing out more Play-Doh, one case per household

[catrose]

7. Good grief, not again?

People are trying to survive, running low on supplies & workers (whether volunteer or paid)--but let's have a photo op!

[Sunlei]

8. go ahead and tell people again global warming is fake you idiot Republicans king.

[Scarsdale]

9. He would be the LAST person

I would want to see at any time. Haven't these people suffered enough? Unless he wants to get his tiny hands dirty by ripping up floorboards, then he would be smart to stay the HELL away. Maleria just looks bored as hell when she goes any place. Neither of them has any warmth or human feeling. Empty shells, both of them. Perfect pair, worship money.

10. He has to go back because his other pop-in didn't get the ratings he wanted.

[Bengus81]

11. Of course,raining soon in Bedminster.........

From the SAME storm. Eh...might as well go down to Houston and pretend he cares until the sun shines again over his Country club.

[Bengus81]

12. At his first dog and pony show visit he was BRAGGING about crowd size?

This POS we a struck with as President shows his INSANITY even more as the days roll by.

[uppityperson]

13. How about LISTENING to them instead?

[murielm99]

14. A do-over.

Most of us don't get those.

[jmowreader]

17. I think I'd stay the hell out of there if I was president

"But Mr. President M, why aren't you touring the storm damaged areas to show your solidarity with the victims of this horrible disaster?"

"Because the last fucking thing the victims of this disaster need is to divert a bunch of police and relief workers from their necessary work to provide security for a photo op. Plus, I have the rest of the country to take care of too. I can best do it from right here in Washington."
