I think Melania missed the memo about appropriate footwear for flood zones.

Actually, with the exception of wellies, those are the best. Only the tips of the feet get wet. Grin

Hopefully, her advisers have made preparations for suitable footwear before touchdown.

But they went first to Corpus Christi, didn't they? And they came out of the airplane with a different outfit.
Or was that on a different day?

Roussette · 29/08/2017 18:15

They're down, in a live press conference and she has trainers on.

All the experts who are on the ground are talking which isn't giving Trump a chance to talk rubbish. There's far more important things to talk about so he's having to keep quiet.... not sure for how long

BiglyBadgers · 29/08/2017 18:18

The big question is will he go off piste and start ranting about NK, fake news and Russia or will they manage to get him to stay on script?

Roussette · 29/08/2017 18:22

I think he's managed it. But bearing in mind he was surrounded by a lot professional people who TBH had far more on their minds than POTUS in baseball cap, and it seemed like an opportunity to tell the american people what they were doing.

Trumps now off in a helicopter to look at the floods

AcrossthePond55 · 29/08/2017 18:23

Do you think the Donald chose Melania's footwear? Why on earth else would any woman with a modicum of sense wear stilettos to a disaster area?

Maybe she brought a pair of 'sensible shoes' to change into?

AcrossthePond55 · 29/08/2017 18:26

X post Roussette. Glad to see that she's not as dumb as one would assume any woman would be who married Scrotus.

Oh God, is Trump going to drag the UK into yet another pointless war?

Theresa's off to Japan today I think. Not great timing!
And those shoes weren't even suitable for Washington - she was sinking into the WH lawn!

TheNorthWestPawsage · 29/08/2017 18:58

Jesus H Christ! He never fails to disappoint.

At his first briefing in Texas, Trump thanks FEMA Director William Brock Long and says he’s come “very famous on television” due to Harvey.

“very famous on television”

Oh for fucks sake! What a ball sack.

badbadhusky · 29/08/2017 19:02

Hmm. My Mac doesn't like that Spicer-Pope link. Is it kosher?

TheNorthWestPawsage · 29/08/2017 19:08

Ooh! Not sure I'm on my phone.

cozietoesie · 29/08/2017 19:13

I'm pleased for Spicey.. Smile

TheNorthWestPawsage · 29/08/2017 19:15

It's a link to the Jesuit Review americamagazine.org (not my usual go-to reading matter Wink)

cozietoesie · 29/08/2017 19:16

My device was fine with it. Smile

badbadhusky · 29/08/2017 19:22

The levee at Columbia Lakes in TX has breached. Trump retweeted a very stark alert message from Brazoria County.

cozietoesie · 29/08/2017 19:28

I'm not surprised it's breached. I fear there may be a number of them which do.

Roussette · 29/08/2017 19:48

Does he ever stop going on about crowd size?

Quick note about this bot thing happening. Multiple bots are saying "Trump is a better president. Obama was golfing during Katrina!"

Roussette - I had the same reaction reading the Guardian's report of his address to the crowd in Annaville. Ugh.
