As part of his trip to the Carolinas to survey storm damage by Florence, President Donald Trump on Wednesday toured homes along River Drive in New Bern, a low-lying neighborhood of brick and clapboard houses that was swamped by the Neuse River. “We’re giving you a lot of help,” Trump said to one resident. “Do you want to see my house? It’s over there,” another resident said, pointing to a badly damaged yellow house across the street. Trump crossed the street to a small brick house, where he stopped to greet an older man in the T-shirt. Behind the house, a large yacht had washed ashore and was shipwrecked against the wooden deck. He gazed at the yacht, saying, “Is this your boat?” The owner said no. Trump turned and replied with smile, “At least you got a nice boat out of the deal.” Speaking to reporters, Trump said the owner told him his insurance company didn't want to pay for the damage to his home. “We’re going to find out,” he said. “We’re going to find out the name of the insurance company.” “I think it’s incredible what we’re seeing,” the president added. “This boat just came here.” During his trip, Trump pledged the full support and finances of the federal government to support states struck by Florence. Minutes after arriving in North Carolina to survey storm damage, Trump vowed “100 percent” backing to Gov. Roy Cooper. Trump twice stressed that, even though the skies above were clear and “beautiful,” the surrounding state was still at risk for flood. The president said the region was in for a “rough two weeks,” but promised to send “a lot of money to the area.” “We need it, and we have it, and we will be applying it, and there will be nothing left undone,” Trump said.
Poster Comment: FFS Donnie - this isn't some game show you narcissistic, elitist tool. Bet you wouldn't be saying that BS if one of your golf courses or hotels had been hit. Earlier in the day, Trump was handing out meals to hurricane victims and told one person in a car, “Have a good time” as if they were going to an entertainment outing. "Have a good time"? For Pete's sake, does this uncaring prick have any empathy whatsoever?

You're thinking and typing nonsense. The Democraps have a website so that you can spout off profanity about our president there where all the Hitleryites and other dogs exchange barbs about our successful president.
Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
Trump is out of touch with reality - even conservatives should be questioning his boorish comments at this point. What kind of guy tells someone "at least you got a new boat" after his home is ravaged by a hurricane?
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. He'd be more successful if he learned to think before he spouts nonsense from his gaping cake-hole.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. After eight years of the phony Obama and eight years of Bush II I don't give a damn what President Trump says. I am, however, interested in what he does.

And you, Deckhand, are no Conservative.

Why do you want to conserve the Clinton, Bush, & Obama legacy? Scrap it!
Because I called Trump a "prick"? Gee whiz princess - I thought that was one of the things you liked about him.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. I thought it was funny. I'll bet that it was funny. Gallows humor in the face of utter disaster is a very human trait. People appreciate it, too. At least some people do. Like me.
And the funny thing is the guy who owns the property can probably claim the boat and sell it.
This article reminds me to thank God we don't have another fucking Clinton stinking up our White House.
You're beyond contempt, asshat! Haunt some other website or thread.....

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
