Former Obama flack Jen Psaki jumps into the “Trump’s damned if he does damned if he doesn’t debate” as she questions the timing
It’s too soon for Trump to go to Texas
Every helicopter supporting a Trump visit to Texas in response to Hurricane Harvey is a helicopter not picking survivors off rooftops.
As President Donald Trump faces the first crisis of his presidency (one that is not self-inflicted) he fortunately has a chief of staff, John Kelly, who knows how to deal with emergency response, and a well-respected FEMA director in Brock Long leading an agency that has rebuilt itself since 2005’s Hurricane Katrina.
There will be many decisions ahead about resources and funding at the federal level that will have an actual impact on the recovery of Houston and the other affected communities. These will be far more important than the movements of Air Force One, but the President’s decision to travel to Texas just days after the first wave of the storm hit is, at best, surprising.
Quite frankly, there is so much stupid with this, I could spend the next hour fisking it. Just not worth the time. Suffice to say, had Trump waited till the search and rescue phase was over, as she claims was the Obama doctrine (yeah, could spend lots of time on that one), Trump would be blamed for waiting too long.
Remember when Loose Shoes waited 3 months before doing something about the BP oil spill.
Leading from behind as I recall.
They also went crazy over the fact that his wife wore heals during the visit. Trump is clearly driving these people nuts, that is great.
Waah! Waah! No one knew being president was so hard!!
President Loose Condom can’t do anything right! He suffers from white man disease (and we don’t mean he can’t jump!).
He told Governor Abbott that they can’t congratulate themselves for a job well-done yet. What a putz. It’s always about him.
I agree: it is too soon to visit, and the visit will (probably) just get in the way of rescue efforts. But, and you know that this is true, if he’d waited longer, the left would use that to claim that he doesn’t care, and only went when he did go because he way trying to tamp down criticism. For the left, nothing he can do is ever right.
CNN saying it’s too soon to go means of course he should have gone earlier.

Exactly.
