I Can't Believe Trump Is Going To Texas Tuesday....

I bet they are picking the people they will be talking with. You know it's a photo op and all the people he'll be talking to will praise him.

I hope he goes off script cause he'll be saying some outlandish things. There is no way he can identify with these people left without homes. He has no empathy. He'll be talking about himself and how wonderful he handled this disaster.

You know somehow he'll step in it.

Many Repugs down in Texas. I hope somebody challenges him on climate change. How can these Texans - victims of climate change - support a climate change denying Party?

He'll figure out a way to make it all about him. I expect him to bring up the fact that he won Texas and that "his" FEMA is doing a beautiful job, despite the fact that most of the rank-and-file FEMA people have been there for years and have remade the agency after the Katrina debacle, and despite the fact that he and the GOP don't believe in allocating funds to government agencies that actually help people. And he'll say something spectacularly inappropriate.

filled with special Trump brand ice and bottled water that he'll sell at 300-percent mark up for one day only?
