President Biden on Tuesday said he and first lady Jill Biden would visit Hawaii though gave no timeline to do so amid criticism he has faced over his response to wildfires that have devastated the island of Maui.

“My wife Jill and I are going to travel to Hawaii as soon as we can. That’s what I’ve been talking to the governor about, I don’t want to get in the way. I’ve been to too many disaster areas,” Biden said at the top of remarks on the Inflation Reduction Act in Wisconsin.

Ever been to East Palestine, Ohio? Should have stuck with "no comment" while smirking.

Biden misspoke if he spoke of the Inflation Reduction Act..It was actually the Inflation Enlargement Act.

Just saw the video, casual tone & posture - FJB's not concerned one iota.

That’s the thing. Pres Trump wouldn’t say that. He’d be there.

He’d be asking questions and getting answers. He’d be calling people out.

And, more importantly, he’d be getting those people the help they need.

Even CornPop could tell them to fuel up AF1 at any moment and file the flight plan to Hawaii. His handlers won’t let him do that. No way they risk him walking around that place and, potentially, make impromptu comments about anything.

Isn’t that the truth.

How hard would it be to offer up a few words of empathy
and up-coming support?

What the hell does the fake doctor have to do with anything? Did W drag Barbara to the site of 9/11? What? Are dopey and Jill going to hang out at some resort and pass their vacation off as some kind of leadership?

The Hawaiian Government should not give Joe landing clearance in Honolulu. There should have been several C5As, C141s and C17s loaded with 1000 National Guardsmen and Tons of food and water on way to Hawaii the moment that fire was out of control, plus amphibs to move food and water to the coast line of Maui in place immediately. Maybe Milley and Brown felt it was too Wokie for that to happen. Joint Chiefs all should be fired and the Biden Administration impeached by now.

C’mon man!

Biden will treat Maui the same way he treated the good people of East Palestine, OH.

He’s too busy paying the salaries and pensions of the Ukrainian government with American taxpayer cash. Like five billion a month to keep them quiet.

Trump would be there now—so would Bush, Clinton and yes, even Obama. Sad really. MY FEAR is when the chips are down—can Biden make the right choices? We need a leader—not a committee.

Meanwhile, business as usual for the Biden clan. The "relief" plane loaded with cash for Ukraine.

Send the laughing Hyena and 1st “Gentleman” grifter then.

Better yet, send Hunter to buy up some burnt beach front property. Never let a crisis go to waste.
