Thank you, Mr. President for having the decency, decorum and sense of timing to not turn this tragedy into a cheap photo-op…

White House now tweeting out links to donate to relief funds and actually spreading the word on what Gov. Edwards and the state needs moving forward. Not passing out play-doh. Not one link from Trump about where to donate or how to help.
