U.S. President Donald Trump visits Gulf of Mexico coastal areas of Louisiana and Texas Saturday that were ravaged by Hurricane Laura, leaving them without power and water as clean-up efforts continue in seasonally hot and humid conditions.
Fourteen people were killed when the Category 4 storm devastated the area early Thursday, with more than half of them succumbing to carbon monoxide poisoning due to the improper use of power generators.
Trump will first travel to Lake Charles, Louisiana, a city of some 80,000 residents that was hard-hit by Laura. More than 220,000 people in Lake Charles are estimated to be without water, according to the Louisiana Department of health.
Lake Charles Mayor Nic Hunter said water treatment plants “took a beating” and warned there was no timetable for restoring electricity.
Trump also will visit nearby Orange, Texas, a city of more than 18,000 people in an area where the economy is dependent on chemical plants. Texas Governor Greg Abbot said the area is extremely fortunate after Laura turned slightly east, averting an “unsurvivable” storm surge forecasters had predicted.
One day before his trip to survey the damage, Trump issued a disaster declaration for Louisiana, a move that makes federal money available to the five parishes that were in Laura’s direct path.

I thought to myself, if Biden/Harris beats Trump there, it had the potential to swing the state. Bad move on their part. Good move for Trump.
But don't fret. After Labor Day, Biden promises to "come out swinging." Just another 10 days, just you watch and see.
“After Labor Day, Biden promises to “come out swinging.”
Bubble Boy’s coming out party.
Heard he’s borrowing a space suit from NASA for his coming out.
After Labor Day, Biden promises to “come out swinging.”
That’s only if he doesn’t see his shadow.
Otherwise it’s 60 more days of winter.
Hidin’ Biden: No comment.
Dementia Joe may be hiding in his basement but his campaign is running non-stop ads here in Florida.
The newest which seems to be on a continuous loop is an ad showing empty sports stadiums, arena’s and classrooms, and blaming it all on President Trump.
wow..... We didn’t that many pixels.
Why is the graphic so large? It is bigger than my 32” monitor. Resize the graphics you steal from other websites to a reasonable size. If you don’t know how, then learn.
Sorry.
The photo is a little big but not that bad. The graphic of basement man is fine. Im using a phone, not a monitor and its not obliterating my screen.

From a tree branch?
“Basementman”
Nice!
Meanwhile Trump: Thur - accepts nomination, Fri - New Hampshire rally, Sat - Visits Louisiana and Texas.
The new Democrat campaign slogan should be, "We're screwed".
