President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his “heart goes out even more so” to the victims of hurricane-ravaged Texas after touring the state, despite not meeting on Tuesday with any victims or addressing them during his multiple public appearances.

“After witnessing first hand the horror & devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey,my heart goes out even more so to the great people of Texas!” the president tweeted Wednesday morning.

Trump didn’t directly see much horror or devastation on Tuesday. Avoiding the areas hardest hit as relief efforts were underway — at least in part to avoid distracting from those efforts — the president flew to Corpus Christi, where he was briefed on the response to Harvey, and then Austin, where he toured an emergency operations center and received another briefing before flying back to Washington, D.C.

Trump’s tweet Wednesday morning appeared to be a delayed response to criticism that his prior comments lacked empathy.

11. I believe, as a model, she had surgery to permanently mold that look into her face

Both of them seemed pretty damned inconvenienced to have to bother with those pesky hurricane victims. Hell, in the course of a day or two people have just lost everything they've worked their entire lives for and 45* couldn't even be bothered to speak with a few of them, instead opting to have another of his scripted rallies with bused-in 'supporters'.

9. Mr. President, you need to say your heart goes out to the victims.

Does not compute. Want Big Mac and tv.

Just say it.

Fine. My heart goes out to all of the victims.

Was that so hard?

Already forgot about them, let's move on to more fun things to talk about. Me.
