Very good idea of him going there, while Obama was MIA at the time. I'd post pictures from other stories as well, as he was helping with handing out supplies or whatever, but those are just photo ops. Well hell, I guess the whole things is a "photo op" of sorts, but someone showing up, hearing their pleas, someone that may lure even more attention to their plight - certainly more than the man in charge has done thus far. And funny that the press made it out to sound like Bush created the storms himself back in 20078 was it? And Kanye West stated that George Bush hated black people. But not a peepskie now!

Chicago (AFP) - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump visited flood-ravaged Louisiana on Friday, criticizing the US president for not doing the same, as the region grapples with a historic disaster that killed 13 people.
Trump and his vice presidential nominee Mike Pence met with local Republican leaders and emergency officials, and toured areas that just a few days ago were inundated with several feet of water.
President Barack Obama meanwhile announced he is headed to Louisiana on Tuesday, after days of criticism from some in the southern state for not visiting during the week-long ordeal, which culminated with the Republican candidate on the ground and the president still on vacation.
"Honestly, Obama ought to get off the golf course and get down there," Trump said at a campaign rally later in the day in Michigan, alluding to the president's Wednesday golf game.
Officials said about 40,000 homes were impacted by the floods, and more than 86,000 people had so far registered for federal aid -- with that number expected to grow.
