Trump Visits Flood-Ravaged Louisiana Today While Obama Golfs And Hillary Naps [VIDEOS]

Louisiana is under water. I mean REALLY under water. The state is dealing with the worst flooding its had in over 500 years. What happened during Hurricane Katrina or Sandy looks like peanuts compared to what the citizens of Louisiana are dealing with right now. Twenty parishes are affected, thousands of businesses and homes are flooded, and 11 people have died over the course of the last week.
