    Fuck trump and all that, but reasonably, going to the site of any incident is just for photo ops. Fuck all the trash that does that. It’s just as stupid as sending reporters out into a hurricane wind so they can say, “The wind is really starting to pick up, Dave-in-the-comfy-news-room-700-miles-away, and we can hear the waves pounding louder now.”

    Can you imagine how things would go down if you did get donny on a boat and it capsizes in cold, flowing water?

      It’s not like he has to fly across the country. This is literally down the road. Bill Clinton jogged further than that. Just standing on the riverbank would be enough to show people he gave the tiniest shit.

      But he doesn’t.

        This is pretty much it. They are numbers and a crisis that he’s tried to twist to benefit from. He cares not.

      Better than how things are going down now.

      Hmm ya I see what ya mean

      I might be okay with a photo op as a part of a larger aid framework. I took a moment to consider my house burning down. And how I might feel if a politician I respected showed up and surveyed the damage and said, “Oh no. It is sad that this house burned down.” The right words from the right person at the right time with reliable follow up could be all right.

      In a normal world at least :)
