    Guy was tossing tp to hurricane vitcims like he was shooting hoops...... I'd say it's safe to say he's not great at pr but this is nothing to most reasonable people

    Yes I can tell that from a photograph and everything that has been published

    Obama always came across as someone wupith empathy and concern for others

    Trump is a self centred narcissistic TWONK

    Fair enough... You'll find I try and be fair and call it honestly and I agree with it comes to pr Trump is oblivious to optics. This particular photo though I really don't see it as really anything meaningful

    lol

    Fake news. Obama was an incredible narcissist. A self serving, self loving narcissist.

    The biggest and smoothest liar I have ever seen.

    Seriously. It's true.
    How about all those pictures of Queen Elisabeth's beaming smile as she met with Manchester bombing victims?(And Adriana grande as well!), Not a word. No one suggested the queen brush up on her somber, one tear slipping down the cheek acting lessons. Oh how about Obama grinning his ass off meeting in hospital, with Boston marathon bombing survivors?

    Apparently no one told those survivors they weren't suppose to actually enjoy meeting with the president. How dare they all look happy to be together! Sheeze!

    This topic is truly insignificant anyway. We elected Trump to do the job. Not to be Rico Suave. You might have liked that Obama could pull a rabbit out of his ass, but I wanted an actual president.

    If a picture of Trump smiling caused you to run for your Pepto-Bismol, perhaps you should get an actual...life.

    Of course it was staged and the Trumpocity was upset that there wasn't a Fox network camera crew recording his phony baloney visit.

    Trumpocity was also upset that some survivors did not want to talk to him.

    Still not really the time to practice your J if you ask me....

    Trump is definitely a PR nightmare but I guess it kinda is his thing and honestly PR means nothing to me. Nor does armchair psychologists saying Trump's a narcissist or Obama is a narcissist. frankly I have the opinion that to reach the highest level of politics you're probably a psychopath or narcissist or something on that level so personality doesn't mean much to me.

    I'm aware the infant was 'resportedly' requested by the White House. When I looked at the time I couldn't discover where that claim actually originated from. Either way I have to ask what would it matter? When the President travels an advanced team goes before him and one of the number of tasks they preform is seek out people the President wants to meet with and to hear from the people requesting an audience with the President. One way or another this baby's uncle got in touch with that advanced team. I don't quite understand why you're pressing this point, I have to assume its because you think it was just part of this supposed grand nefarious act, but its nothing out of the norm at all. President Obama visited hospitals and met with people who had been discharged but returned to meet with him and First Lady Michelle. Please try and realize that media is just trying to stir the pot here.
