Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Friday signed hats and T-shirts for supporters in flood-ravaged Baton Rouge, where he met with victims and response crews at a local church and drove through the city’s damaged streets.

Joined by his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Trump spoke briefly with volunteers and victims at Greenwell Springs Baptist Church before stepping outside to greet throngs of supporters who had gathered outside the security perimeters to see him. Wearing a white “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, he walked over to the crowd as they reached out to him and to hand him their hats to sign.

How come they are not reporting him bringing a semi full of supplies as relief for those hurt over there?

I heard one reporter mention it, but most are silent about it. This article makes it sound he just signed baseball caps

They’re going crazy in the comments section.

Say the governor didn’t WANT obama to come and Trump brough play dough???!?!?!?

I rubbed it in good and it’s great when their heads explode.

Mostly white folk. Hard to believe, but true.

Obama was going to go but he was told he would get no relief from standing water.

I followed your lead to the comments section - lol! The usual illiterates doing somersaults to protect the feckless Obama! With the usual foul-mouthed abandon, I might add. And did you know Trump only brought play-dough to hand out?

I saw the PLAY DOUGH thing lol!!!!!

play dough!!

It’s GREAT causes it’s mostly white idiots.

Blacks have been lied to forever and hispanics want to bring family over, many of them. At least there’s SOME reasoning behind their dem vote, even if it is faulty.

But white folk? They get SO MAD!!!! I love it!!!!

What a pack of idiots. To be overly explicit, bringing toys to children in shelters is absolutely appropriate. The people who put these packages together know what they’re doing. My only complaint? Last time I tried Play Dough, I couldn’t make it pick up the images of a comic book!
