Actually, he donated a tractor trailer of supplies including diapers, formula and games and toys for kids. Why are you all bitching about it?
Consider me impressed!
Turns out that wasn't his donation. (His organization may have paid for the truck-rental. It's not clear yet.)
But he did spend 49 seconds on camera helping to unload toys from it before he made a show about entering a fire house to talk to the firemen (but actually scooted out the back door to his car).
Every report I have seen says he donated those supplies (LA Times, CNN, others). What is your source otherwise?
I still believe the President did the right thing staying away, but Hillary should have been there. It's just a photo op, but it humanized Trump and the GOP that may help a bit in tight states and with down ballot races. I'll score this one a PR win for Trump.
