Trump came to Texas on Tuesday. For most presidents, that trip would have been an opportunity to show they cared about the victims of the Hurricane, and to give them hope for the future. It would have been an opportunity to show compassion and caring. For Trump, it was just a photo op to make himself look good.
He met with state and federal officials in Corpus Christi. He made a speech to a crowd of a couple of hundred people at the Corpus Christi airport -- bragging about what a "huge" crowd it was. Then he went to Austin and toured the state's Emergency Management Center. And he made sure he was photographed doing all of that. And he wore his campaign cap while doing all that (which he'll be glad to sell you for a mere $40).
But he did not meet with the victims of the hurricane, did not shake their hands, or offer them words of encouragement. He failed to show even a minuscule amount of compassion for the real victims.
This was just another campaign trip for Trump. He had an opportunity to do some good with that trip, but he blew it. All he did was once again demonstrate that he only cares about one person -- himself.
