Point/counterpoint: Trump sycophant vs. Trump skeptic



Quoted in President Trump surveys Hurricane Laura damage: 'I'm here to support the great people of Louisiana'.  (New Orleans Times-Picayune,m 8/29/2020)

Trump's message of love and respect and support?
“I’m here to support the great people of Louisiana. It’s been a great state for me,” he said in Lake Charles. “It was a tremendously powerful storm.”

The skeptic weighs in.
Not everyone who survived the storm was as impressed as Higgins with Trump’s visit. Joyce Sias expressed doubt Friday afternoon that the president would bother to do much more than fly over the city as she sat on the porch with her 75-year-old sister, Leona Griffith, amazed by how thoroughly Laura had torn up their neighborhood. 
“Well, you know why he’s coming if he does touch down,” her sister interjected. “It’s voting time.”
