Donald Trump announced Thursday that he and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence will be touring flood-ravaged Louisiana on Friday.
ABC News Politics reported that the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate will concentrate on the state’s hardest-hit area of Baton Rouge.

Trump commented on the Louisiana flood Thursday night at the opening of a campaign event in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“We are one nation. When one state hurts, we all hurt — and we must all work together to lift each other up. Working, building, restoring together,” he said, according to The Hill.
CNN contributor and Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany tweeted:
TRUMP: “Our campaign is about representing the great majority of Americans… who turn on the TV & don’t hear anyone speaking for them.”

President Obama, meanwhile, is still vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard, spending much of his time on the golf course.
Conservative author and syndicated columnist Ben Shapiro, who is no fan of the Republican presidential nominee, had to nonetheless hand it to Trump.
Yet another smart thing. https://t.co/HKjp0tSKwm

And others picked up on that theme.
@vjeannek Brilliant. Already went to Milwaukee. At least someone cares about the people more than golf.

And what of Obama? Even the press is asking questions. This statement may hold the answer.
@stevebruskCNN @RyanMaue @NoahGrayCNN Livingston Parrish voted 84% for Romney. You think Obama cares about them?

And as for Trump’s Democratic counterpart, one person suggested this:
