To keep to facts, I'm pretty sure Trump donated an 18 wheeler full of supplies to a church. Sure, he's probably doing so to bank a few political points, but that's still a very real donation that's gonna make a small difference at least.
Seems this Neva character just isn't a very big Trump fan, which is fair, but perhaps makes her post slightly biased. For example, she goes on to say people have taken time off work to help the community - well, isn't this in effect what Trump has done? It just appears she doesn't like his contribution because she doesn't like him, which isn't really a valid reason to rail on him and his donation.
Edit to add: Yes, he did donate an 18 wheeler, as per this news source for the Parish: http://www.thecreole.com/?p=62667.
According to the news source, it was one of the hardest hit area's, which also contradicts Neva's statement that he was only in the area because it was majority Republican.
actually trump only donated his face to a photo op. nothing against trump but that's all he did. Obama is visiting this week.

Incorrect, Ladycae. According to this source, which is a news source for the Parish itself, he donated an 18 wheeler full of supplies: http://www.thecreole.com/?p=62667
odd that no one, not even right wing news sources no anything about this. but could you check on something, did the 18 wheeler ever actually come? and was it specifically paid for by trump or from a charity organization? the reason i ask is that according to charity watchdog, trump has only donated 7k to charity over the last 10 years. and he was big on telling people on celebrity apprentice that he would donate his own personal money out of his wallet to their charity, however any charity that actually got money it was not from trump it was from a charity and not all the promises were fulfilled at all.

"Did the 18 wheeler ever actually come" - yes, here's video evidence: https://youtu.be/c25cCR9CYks?t=19s. It doesn't say, but what matter is it whether it's Trump's personal money or not? What matters is that he arranged for those supplies to be there to aid those who need it. Do you think the Parish should've turned the supplies away because "Oh, well if you didn't pay for them, then we don't want them"?
nit at all, just curious. btw obana sent aid to the whole state and much more than an 18 wheeler, but if trump did that then it was a nice gesture and also it seems a great photo op.

I agree - I'm not a big Trump fan; not really a fan of any of them. It's just that 3venus wanted to speak about facts, and I wanted to clarify some of what the poster said. You can hate the guy, but at least hate him based on the truth.
