You really need to look at your sources...

The Boston Herald is a conservative newspaper, and Adriana Cohen is a rabid conservative- Here is her take on the photo-op Trump did in Louisiana (AFTER the governor requested candidates NOT come to exploit the tragedy):

Yet with callous indifference to those suffering, Hillary Clinton and President Obama are missing in action. Clinton has come up with lame excuses why she’s a no-show. And Obama is working on his golf swing with millionaires, billionaires and celebrities on Martha’s Vineyard.

Who needs them.

Donald Trump showed the country who’s boss yesterday by flying to Louisiana to comfort those affected by the catastrophic flooding. And boy, were Louisianans happy to see the Republican nominee.
Despite having lost everything — their homes, their belongings and even for some — their pets and loved ones — they still found strength and wherewithal to put up homemade Trump signs that said, “St. Amant (hearts) Trump.”

Residents took selfies with Trump and hugged him in gratitude for showing up in a time of need. Many yelled, “We’re glad you’re here!” as Trump and his VP pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, toured the damaged areas and offered comfort.

This is what leadership looks like.

When a crisis hits, a leader shows up and delivers compassion. He also arrives with hugs to boost morale and solutions about rebuilding.


Trump spent exactly 49 seconds pretending to unload a truck (including a package of lifesaving Play-Doh) while putting on a photo-op.

Her primary source is 'Judicial Watch'- A right wing organization created during Bill Clinton's presidency to attack him...

Here is the Judicial watch release: http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/new-abedin-emails-reveal-hillary-clinton-state-department-gave-special-access-top-clinton-foundation-donors/

The emails they reproduce don't really seem to indicate that Clinton was selling official state department favors, as Judicial Watch claims...

“These new emails confirm that Hillary Clinton abused her office by selling favors to Clinton Foundation donors,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “There needs to be a serious, independent investigation to determine whether Clinton and others broke the law.”

The Clinton campaign pushed back strongly on that allegation.

"Once again this right-wing organization that has been going after the Clintons since the 1990s is distorting facts to make utterly false attacks. No matter how this group tries to mischaracterize these documents, the fact remains that Hillary Clinton never took action as Secretary of State because of donations to the Clinton Foundation," said Josh Schwerin, National Spokesman for the Clinton campaign.

A Clinton campaign aide said the newly released emails show that the meeting with Salman was set up through official channels and added that "meeting with foreign leaders is, by definition, the role of the Secretary of State."

"There was no impropriety," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters Monday. "This was simply, you know, evidence of the way the process works in that, you know, any secretary of State has aides who are getting e-mails or contacts by a broad range of individuals and organizations."

He added "There was nothing that we have seen that implied any kind of untoward relationship."

Toner said there was nothing that precluded State Department officials from having contact with Clinton Foundation staff.

According to Toner, the content of the emails provided to Judicial Watch had been reviewed by the State Department and not found to have been conflicts of interest.


Now you apparently are convinced all that is worse than Trump's repeated racist statements, associations with neo-nazis, refusal to release tax returns, advocating torture, advocating war crimes, cavalier attitude towards using nukes, his bizarre connections to Putin, and his efforts to alter the RNC platform to go easy on Putin's invasion of the Ukraine, his debt to the chinese bank and to Goldman sachs, his repeated demonstrated ignorance of foreign policy, his questioning of Obama's citizenship, his complete detachment from reality, his insulting of McCain's service, his attacking the Khan family, his threats to do away with first amendment protections, his threats to NATO, his delusional promise to build a wall and make mexico pay for it, his cavalier talk of the assassination of his opponent, his encouraging of supporters to patrol the polls on election day, his former campaign manager under investigation for being an undeclared agent for a foreign government (The Pro-Putin Ukrainian party), His current campaign 'CEO' runs Breitbart which even YOU have to admit openly courts the racist voters...

If you really believe that the emails are worse than all the above and more, well, then there really not much to be said, Rob... You are just too far gone...
