But I've been saying that for 2 years. So what do I know.

Did they let him sit in the driver seat of the firetruck again?

He is still getting over Phoenix, maybe his staff told him it was a rally in Texas

Trump fumes at staff over Phoenix rally crowd size

CNN)President Donald Trump was fuming as he sat in his Phoenix hotel watching news coverage ahead of his rally.

The venue for his first rally in nearly three weeks looked empty.
That's when George Gigicos, Trump's longtime advance man, got a call from Keith Schiller, the director of Oval Office operations who is almost always at Trump's side, asking Gigicos why the crowds were scarce. Gigicos explained that while TV correspondents were live early from the venue, the rally wouldn't start for several more hours and crowds had just begun to trickle in.

Soon after, Gigicos heard from Trump himself. The President was irate, Soon after, Gigicos heard from Trump himself. The President was irate, warning his former director of White House advance who had since returned to his private contracting business, that the venue better be full by the time he arrived, two sources familiar with the discussions told CNN as they described the scene and the President's reaction.

Which is why the room partition was where it was. They had moved the partition to give the appearance of a larger crowd!

Apparently Gigicos is out

Trump will have the best storm recovery ever!!!

Trump pledges storm recovery 'better than ever before'

"We want to do it better than ever before. We want to be looked at five years, 10 years from now, as this is the way to do it," Trump said, adding the storm was "of epic proportion."

And in Austin, where Trump visited an emergency operations center, Trump warned of the long-term effort and stiff costs that will be needed to rebuild the region.

"The sad thing is that this is long-term. Nobody's ever seen anything this long. Nobody's seen this kind of water," Trump said. "Probably, there's never been something so expensive in our country's history."

I hope he's right that it's the best storm recovery ever. There are a lot of people who need help, if that help comes in an efficient, timely, well-executed manner I will happily give the administration credit for managing the situation well.

Thousands of people displaced by water is not - in my mind - a political issue, nor is it something I'd want to score 'political points' over. I hope Trump and his people do a great job, it would be wonderful.

Evangelicals will go to war if Trump impeached.

can we talk about the hats though? Are we just going to ignore the hats?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Because why not use a tragedy to get a little free promo time?

I love that evangelicals support a guy who literally builds golden idols too worship.

[Senator Clay Davis]

And that his impeachment, which would lead to someone who is actually deeply religious becoming President rather than a huckster, is enough to start an uprising over.

Where's Mav and Iceman?

[Fuzz]

I'm amazed that their is a hat that exists with FLOTUS on it, and am floored that the FLOTUS is actually wearing it, like it's a name badge. Is that in case Trump forgets who she is?

[DuffMan]

FLOTUS looks like she is ready to dig in and get to work with her sleeves rolled up and steel toed boots, and cap.

[Fuzz]

I see the look she was going for..just missed it though.

NSFW!
