Trump Visits Storm-Ravaged Lake Charles, a Louisiana City Still Without Power

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

LAKE CHARLES, La. — Days after Hurricane Laura slammed into Louisiana, hundreds of thousands of people remained without electricity on Saturday, with the situation especially dire in Lake Charles, a city near the coastline where nearly all 80,000 residents have been without power for days and many have no running water.

President Trump arrived on Saturday afternoon in the troubled city, where residents were just beginning to pick up the pieces after the hurricane that made landfall on Thursday as a Category 4 storm.

“Our hearts go out to the families that have lost loved ones,” Mr. Trump said during a stop in Lake Charles, expressing relief that the death toll was not higher. “It’s a tremendous number, but it could have been a lot worse.”

But both Mr. Trump and the residents who were returning to their homes arrived in a city still packed with perils, where the streets were obstacle courses filled with tangled power lines, fallen trees and debris from rooftops.

Did he pull a Bush and bring generators so he could make a speech then leave without offering any help?

1. Trump: "It's a tremendous number, but it could have been a lot worse."

"It could have been two million people, but because of me it was a lot less." Yes, Trump did say that about his handling of the Covid crisis.

Personally, three million people didn't die because of me. See, two can play that game.

BTW, the moment Dubya finished his speech in front of the church and left, the generators were turned of, plunging the street back into darkness.
