An analysis of Trump's galavanting to Texas and Louisiana

President Trump returned to Texas for a second time since Hurricane Harvey struck. 

The first time he flew there in Air Force One, burning all that fuel on the taxpayer's dime, his wife, Melania, went along for the ride and had the audacity of hope to wear stiletto heels when boarding the plane. This time she symbolically flipped off the media and PETA by wearing alligator stiletto heels. 

How dare she? Who does she think she is?

It's horrifying to think that on the first trip to the flood ravaged state, President Trump refused to take time for photo ops with regular people. Instead, he wasted precious time discussing strategies with officials from the Army Corp of Engineers and such, when he could have been spending quality time with frightened children, especially undocumented immigrants who are fearful they will be refused services unless they present the proper paperwork.

How dare Trump refuse to help undocumented immigrants. How dare him.

Now Louisiana has been hit by Harvey so Trump will be galavanting to that neck of the woods to show his face and Melania's stilettos, that is, unless she does what she did the first visit and change into sneakers.

It's been said that Trump is going to request $14.5 billion in immediate Harvey aid. That's a lot of money to request just for a bunch of alt-right rednecks who voted for him.

He urged Congress for about $7.9 billion in the immediate aftermath of the storm on August 25th as a Category 4 hurricane. Now he wants to show off to all his cronies by asking for as much as $14.5 billion--so says The New York Times, a newspaper that never misses the mark. 

Congress returns Tuesday, after the Labor Day holiday and assures Republican leaders of the GOP-controlled House and Senate that they'll get right to work on Trump's request.

Of course they would--if the House and Senate were controlled by the Democrats, they wouldn't give in to his demands.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) tweeted Friday evening:

"As families & communities begin long recovery from Hurrican Harvey, House will act quickly on @POTUS request for emergency relief funding."

It's obvious to those on the left that the only reason Ryan is going along with [impeach] Trump is to get himself reelected.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also promised to move fast on the president's request for federal assistance. There goes another old white man spending the people's money just to look good.

So far at least 47 people have died from Trump's storm and about 72,000 have been rescued.

If it wasn't for Donald J. Trump recklessly trying to set records, this hurricane probably wouldn't have happened.

Because everything bad is Trump's fault--if you don't believe me, check out CNN.
