Trump’s old tweets about Obama visiting a hurricane disaster zone are going viral

Since the internet has pointed out several times throughout President Donald Trump’s very first months in office: there’s always a tweet for that.  

As Trump heads to Texas to survey the flood and damage brought on by Hurricane Harvey, a number of Twitter users have pointed out that the president is about to do exactly what he criticized former President Barack Obama for performing when Superstorm Sandy struck the east coast in 2012.

“Not only giving out money, but Obama is going to be viewed today standing in rain and water like he is a real President — don’t fall for it,” Trump wrote on Oct. 30, 2012, adding a day later that “Obama is now standing at a puddle acting like a President–offer me a break. ”

Not only giving money out, but Obama is going to be viewed like he is a President — don ' t fall for it, standing in rain and water.
