Trump Speaks, Distributes Supplies to Those Affected by Hurricane Helene

Trump Speaks, Distributes Supplies to Those Affected by Hurricane Helene

Trump as he arrived: “They’re having a hard time getting the president on the phone and their vice president’s busy fundraising.”

Oh, look. Former President Donald Trump is the first on the scene of a disaster. Not President Joe Biden. Not VP Kamala Harris.

Trump is in Valdosta, GA, to meet with officials, distribute relief supplies, and address the media.

He should speak at 2PM ET. Here is the livestream.

Trump Just Donated
$25 Million to Hurricane
Victims.

Trump asked if he has reached out to Biden about federal relief efforts:

“No I haven’t reached out to him. I think he’s sleeping right now, actually.”

The only way Biden is able to do any commanding these day is in his dreams,

They mostly need some decent shows piped in on AM radio. It’s a wasteland these days. Maybe rebroadcast some YouTube podcasts.

No power, no phone, no internet, you’re really bored.

    In olden times, we had things called books, and even Kindles. And (I know this is weird) board games, paper and pencil, all sorts of non-Smart things to keep us entertained.

      I doubt any of those things survived the water damage alone, much less wind and mudslides and the continuing runoff from the mountains surrounding much of the affected area.

    Right now…. not much time for anything but surviving. The shock hasn’t worn off or is now really sinking in. Used to live near Asheville (Black Mountain and Mars Hill). The devastation is beyond recognition. So far inland from the landfall but with 12+ inches of rain for most areas….a scale I can’t grasp. Many of the small towns are from the colonial days…a lot of history.

    “They mostly need some decent shows piped in on AM radio.”

    No, idiot. They need power. water, food and gasoline.

    “No power, no phone, no internet, you’re really bored.”

    No, idiot. You’re tired, hot, hungry, thirsty, and afraid.

      No, he actually has a point. When I lived in Georgia and we’d get massive storms that caused flooding and took out the power for weeks, we really craved information. When you’ve been cut off from the rest of the world (or at least it feels that way) you want to know what’s going on, what’s going to be done.

        steves59 in reply to Sanddog. | September 30, 2024 at 11:15 pm

        Of course. I lived in the beaten zone after Michael so I know it too well.
        But the idiot doesn’t have a point at all. He’s talking as if a few “decent shows piped in” on AM radio would alleviate the “boredom” of being without phone or internet.
        Like I said, I lived in Mexico Beach during and after Michael. We were all isolated, hungry, hot, tired and scared.
        That’s a callously stupid thing for hardin to say.

“They’re having a really hard time getting the President on the phone.”
Well, it’s a “Command” phone. The calls only go one way.

If the champion baby-kissers of the postwar Democratic Party were alive today, they’d be kicking the asses of their successors. A Republican is out there making them all look like pikers. You can’t buy votes if you aren’t actively out there offering bribes.

    I agree, but President Trumps not out there looking to grease palms, he’s trying help.

    He flew in tons of water, food, medical supplies, and 25 million of his own money

    And hope, he gives hope to those so downtrodden they don’t think they will ever survive

    He gives a shit

    We don’t deserve him

    I’m sure the Biden/Harris administration is currently organizing an airdrop of asylum seekers.

    AF_Chief_Master_Sgt in reply to henrybowman. | September 30, 2024 at 6:10 pm

    Why bribe and lie, when someone is manufacturing votes for you in some back room two states away?

And for the people whining that ‘Trump is just staging a photo op’.

Yeah, then why ISN’T Kamala staging those photo ops. This is Political Science 101.

She’s staying as far away as possible because she knows this is an absolute disaster of incompetent leadership and is going to try to put all the blame on Biden.

    Dimsdale in reply to Olinser. | October 1, 2024 at 8:45 am

    Then clearly neglect to mention her border “fly by” after 3.5 years.

    Now THAT was a photo op.

    Nothing will change unless Pres. Trump is reelected.

The Gentle Grizzly | September 30, 2024 at 4:38 pm

I’m waiting for one of the ladies on the spew or Joe Scarborough to say something like this was all staged and after the camera stopped running Trump took all the food and supplies back again. Wait for it. There will be at least one such accusation.

    On X, they are spewing nonsense about him not supporting NC after a previous hurricane, when it was tied up in red tape in Congress.

    Given the snide remarks about “redneckistan,” I think that red tape was a product of the deep state.

I think Trump is smart spending some time in the stricken states, plus a neighboring one like VA. Also, Biden’s “no more help” statement would be good in a national campaign ad ASAP, while giving billions to illegals and Ukraine. IMO that kind of issue could swing undecideds.

East Palestine Trump showed up and where was Biden or Kamalalaladingdong?
Floods in the SE? Trump showed again and Biden was eating ice cream while Jill Wilson was manning the government from DC and Kamalalaladingdong was doing something or other. Maybe watering that lawn she is so proud of.
Snapshots and soundbites folks and Trump is the master of them.

Trump can go and show up wherever he wants to for political campaign purposes, but he has no power to do anything. This is what happens when you are so despised that you lose an election to a demented, retarded, senile, imbecile like Biden. Elections matter.

ThePrimordialOrderedPair | September 30, 2024 at 6:59 pm

It’s certainly smart thinking that Traitor Joe and his junta have drained the SPR half-empty and filled the US with illegals for actual American emergencies such as this …

The trouble with Trump is that in the last month of this election he has decided that the way to win is to act like televangelists, such Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggert, Pat Robertson, Jim and Tammy Fae Baker, and others. He makes such outlandish claims, like he really believes that he has committed miracles. Even though he believes that he has never sinned, and doesn’t need to ask God for forgiveness. God help all of us if he wins.

Moderator Frank Luntz asked Trump whether he has ever sinned and asked God for forgiveness.

“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Trump was asked whether he has ever sinned and asked God for forgiveness. Trump said that while he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion.

“When I drink my little wine – which is about the only wine I drink – and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed,” he said. “I think in terms of ‘let’s go on and let’s make it right.’”

    Dimsdale in reply to JR. | October 1, 2024 at 8:52 am

    So he tries, and succeeds, in making things right, and you complain?

    Maybe he just knows the Lord forgives, but He is pretty busy with the Democrats.

Jesus performed the miracle of “Feeding of the 5,000”, with seven loaves of bread and a few small fish,

Trump had a rally of 1,000 people, and miraculously claimed there were actually 50,000. Truly a miracle!

    Dimsdale in reply to JR. | October 1, 2024 at 8:55 am

    And Harris has a few hundred, and claims tens of thousands, after paying them and bussing them in. She places them in a narrow camera field to make a place look “packed.”

    How would Pres. Trump do what you claim? I mean, we know that Harris and Oprah had to fake a bunch of those background Zoom call faces. Pres. Trump only has to consider the overflow, who still stand outside and listen or watch a Jumbotron of him.

    trump meant

    if the dems had not aborted all those people

    he would have had 50k

Folks, looks like our resident moron JR, given his latest TDS-based verbal diarrhea, is officially off his meds.
Thoughts and prayers, JR. Thoughts and prayers.

    It’s gotta be tough for the Harris staffers reading the internal polling data showing them how badly they are underperforming.

Capitalist-Dad | October 1, 2024 at 8:43 am

Real leaders show up! Mere figureheads like Biden, Harris, and the rest of the Democrat regime don’t bother to get their hands dirty mixing with the peasants in flyover country. Their idea of “helping” is giving a speech from some comfortable DC office.

destroycommunism | October 1, 2024 at 5:52 pm

the dems send people to their deaths

trump tries to help keep people alive

Sad thing is all the lefties in Asheville will still vote for the communists — they’ll figure out a way to get them ballots… but the surrounding red counties that are wiped out won’t get to vote at all. Swing state no longer in play.
