"Hosting a fundraiser with Big Oil CEOs while we're still counting the bodies from Hurricane Helene is like hosting a fundraiser with the NRA in the midst of a school shooting.”

    CEO: Maybe they’re supposed to look like piles of rubble. I’m not quite sure. Why don’t they just buy a new one? How much could a home cost anyway, $10?

    He looks really confused and lost in that photo, looking around like he doesn’t know where he is. Someone needs to change his diaper and put him to bed.

      I live in Louisiana near the location of the unprecedented flood in 2016 that occurred during the Presidential campaign. He made a trip to one of the relief centers, handed out some toys that had been provided by a charity group, shook hands with some emergency and relief workers, then left. After this photo-op, I had to listen to friends and family about how much Trump had done for the relief effort and Obama had done nothing. It was our paper towel moment.

    I wish these rich people dinners were mobbed by thousands of activists. Flip every rich person’s car there. It would do more than throwing soup at a painting

    Is this the visit he made with Franklin Graham I read about in the news? I saw some Facebook posts claiming he brought several trucks of supplies and a tanker truck full of fuel that he paid for and the post also claimed he donated $4 million dollars of his personal money to the relief effort. I have a hard time believing this and have not been able to find any credible news sources that credits Trump with paying for the supplies, the fuel, or making the donations. If anyone has anything about this, please share.

    Also, that weird centaur stance makes it look like he’s either photoshopped into the image or supported by a stick. I can’t decide which.
