President Trump and the First Lady are headed to Texas today. I’m glad he didn’t rush over there over weekend for a photo op– I HATE when they do that– but part of me still believes it’s a tad too early. Then again, if he waited any longer, MSM would be all, “OMG President Trump doesn’t care about the victims of the storm! He wants Houston to drop dead! (The Chairman of the Democratic Coalition actually said that.)
I will travel with @POTUS tomorrow to lend my support to the people of #Texas. We are with you!

Leaving now for Texas!

The two left this morning, but as you know, they can’t perform simple tasks without everyone over-analyzing. Thank GOD they were caught holding their own umbrellas.

Yep. People noticed.
Nice to see @POTUS @realDonaldTrump hold his own umbrella instead of degrading a service member like DingleBarry @BarackObama did.

Holding their own umbrellas, destroying another Obama policy. Elitists!

Just watched Trump get off the helicopter to head to Air Force One imagine that he was holding his own umbrella so was Melania

Look at that. President Trump carrying his own umbrella, as well as Melania. Real people. Boarding AF1. #Trump2020 #TexasStrong

It's the little things Trump does that shows his true character. Carrying his own umbrella for one. Billionaire President unpretentious
— Jim Baker (@jwbaker1944) August 29, 2017
imagine that. They are holding their own umbrellas.

Love how they hold their own umbrellas, unlike Obamas who usually made an aide or a serviceman do it for them.

This calls for a flashback to UmbrellaGate–

Holding their own umbrellas. Obama's legacy continues being dismantled. 😝

ANYWAY.
The Trumps will visit Corpus Christi and Austin tomorrow for updates on Harvey from local leaders & to visit Emergency Operations Center
— Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) August 29, 2017
In Corpus Christi, POTUS and FLOTUS will visit Fire Station 5, about a 10 min drive from airport, to meet with local leaders
— Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) August 29, 2017
In Austin, the Trumps will tour the Texas Department of Public Safety Emergency Operations Center and then meet with state officials there
— Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) August 29, 2017
The Trumps will spend about 2 hours in each city with an hour-long flight between them
— Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) August 29, 2017
That’s the plan. And don’t think I didn’t notice Melania’s stellar heels, because I did. I’m sure she’ll take them off and switch to something more storm-friendly. It takes 5 seconds to switch out shoes.
A @FLOTUS spokeswoman tells @hausofcait that yes, Melania brought a change of shoes for Texas https://t.co/qMKcwbCWBp
