The White House on Sunday announced that President Donald Trump will travel to Texas, where rescue efforts continued amid destruction and flooding by Harvey, on Tuesday.

“The President will travel to Texas on Tuesday,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, according to a pool report. “We are coordinating logistics with state and local officials, and once details are finalized, we will let you know. We continue to keep all of those affected in our thoughts and prayers.”

Trump on Sunday said he would visit Texas as soon as he could do so “without causing disruption.”

  1. Harvey is more than enough punishment for any state. Texas doesn’t need Donald, too.

  2. Why waste time and resources by having everyone running around kissing his ring? These people need help, not this bloviating asshole showing up for a photo-op.

  3. Totally agree, no need to add to the suffering.

  4. They will have to divert so many resources towards accommodating our lovely President and this while the rain is still falling? FFS!

  5. Thank the good Lord! Because as we all know, only Trump can fix it. (I can sleep again.)
