She could have gotten off her ass come and helped as well, donated, also sent supplies and showed strength in bipartisanship where it came to Americans in need. she chose the exact opposite.

Right, no "politics as usual" to see here. I see that our motto has been completely discarded by many ... embracing ignorance, rather than denying it.
Oh, and as far as the supposed "Trump Humanitarianism" ... you may want to check out an old movie:
Omen III: The Final Conflict.

Also why shouldn't the other listen to the people that are asking them not to come down?
Strange how this continually gets ignored in all of this...

Sounds like getting all your news from ATS failed this time.
Maybe checking out the MSM every once in a while isn't such a bad thing. Just make sure to have on your tin foil cap on.

You are forgetting about the local resources needed to facilitate his visit.
Local police, blocking traffic, etc.
Trump doesn't pay for that. He is the cause of that expense, just like when any high-profile politician goes somewhere.
Those local resources would have been better spent elsewhere.
But good on Trump for donating some stuff. Considering he is making money off this campaign, that seems kind of empty.
Trump came with NO ADVANCE NOTICE , NO PRESS RELEASE, or ANY ATTEMPT AT ADVANCE PR with a semi full of supples HE PAID FOR (or aquired since exact receipts have not been forwarded) within a few days (depending on when one says the tragety happened) for THE VICTIMS OF THIS NATURAL DISASTER. ONLY AFTER HE ARRIVED the press arrived and HE WAS ALREADY HELPING UNLOAD SUPPLIES (not the tolken box or two and then talk to the press).

Trump DONATED 70,000 LBS of supplies to flood victims; MSM silent.
Perfect photo OP! Here's the video. He made sure to spend 49 seconds roughly pretending to roll up his sleeves and unload a truck for the cameras. (I mean, you didn't really believe Donald Trump was unloading a truck for real did you?) The whole thing is staged and staged horribly. Obviously none of you are in logistics. They couldn't find a dock door to back this thing into? Nobody in their right mind unloads a trailer from the ground like this.

Strangely this appears to be toys? Not that toys aren't great. Kids lost toys and receiving toys I'm sure will bring a smile to their faces. It's just curious. Not to nitpick but since the Tweet includes "70,000 lbs" as though that's supposed to be impressive:
I'm actually in the industry. The 70,000 lbs is the weight of a the truck and trailer + supplies. The actual weight of the load would likely be oh... I dunno depending on the weight of the truck and trailer, 42,000 lbs or so. A full load of prime rib (the most expensive stuff we generally transport) runs about $250,000. This is probably worth 1/10th of that per lb.
Worth every penny in publicity.

It was ok back then to rip the GOP candidate due to his response to Katrina, now it's ok to pull a 180 and rip on the current GOP candidate for actually showing up?

Found a transcript of the radio ad for those who couldn't listen..
www.gwu.edu...
(Male )Announcer: Hillary Clinton has spent her life standing up for people others don’t see.
Clinton: Too many Americans today feel as though they are invisible... If you are a child in a crumbling school along the Corridor of Shame, you ARE invisible to this president.
Announcer: Thirty-five years as a tireless advocate for children and families…
Clinton: If you’re a mother without health care, a father without a job, a family that can’t get by on the minimum wage... you’re invisible as well.
Announcer: Time and again, Hillary Clinton has stood up to President Bush…stood up for us.
Clinton: And if you’re stuck on a rooftop or stranded in the Superdome during a hurricane you’re invisible to this president even when you’re on CNN. [applause]
Well, you are not invisible to me, and you should never be invisible to the president of the United States.
Announcer: Hillary Clinton. If you’re ready for change. She’s ready to lead. Paid for by Hillary Clinton for President.
Clinton: I’m Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.
