I can’t find a nice way to say who gives a fuck. People died, I don’t give a shit whether the president visits if the aid is provided.

“President plans photo op soon”. That’s the headline here. I’d feel the same if the article were about trump.

Some people in a tragedy, do actually welcome a visit from a head of state as an acknowledgement of the suffering they and their community are going through.
