I agree it is a good political move; big media would have a field day if he didn’t.
But as a practical matter President Trump can’t micromanage the operation, it would seem. FEMA, state and local agencies will be doing their thing.

Somehow, some way, the liberals will still find a reason to complain that POTUS didn’t do enough to respond to the hurricane.
The wash compost has already blamed Trump for the hurricane. So, no matter what happens, they can spend the next 6 years blaming him.
The left rots.
Sorry to be a grammar nazi, but why the quotes around “Hurricane Florence”? Looks like it’s the real thing. The quotes imply that there’s some fakery going on.
Right move...
This thing, if it goes like it looks like is going to be a massive disaster... and not just for the coastline where it hits, but likely massive flooding from the rains across the Carolinas and its entire path after landfall...
Personally I live in Pittsburgh, and if this goes like it looks like, I fully expect major flooding here when it reaches these parts just like, if not worse than Ivan did, and we are a good 600 miles or more from where this thing will likely make landfall.
Can always reschedule a rally.
Of course we all know, no matter what Trump does they’ll find some reason to spin it to hammer him anyway.
To date, Obama has never missed a fund raiser. For anything.
What can he do in the Oval Office that he can’t do in Missouri? Nothing. Sure, it’s good for the ops and will hold down some of the TDS but unless he’s going to stand in front of the winds and play Moses, where he is or what he’s doing (aside from hiding out in the WH basement toking or shooting up like Obamy was) will not have any effect.
“Hurricane Florence” soon to be tagged as “Trumps Katrina” by the Lame stream media. Rush predicted that on his show yesterday, and I totally agree. I’ll even go one further by saying they will call it that BEFORE it even touches land.
It’s a tactical move dictated by the optics of today’s political relativism.
