Donald Trump on Tuesday slammed President Barack Obama for golfing during his vacation instead of visiting hurricane-struck Louisiana.
In a tweet Tuesday afternoon, the Republican presidential nominee ripped the president for continuing his summer vacation at Martha's Vineyard instead of visiting Louisiana, where more than 100,000 residents have registered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for assistance after massive flooding.
"President Obama should have gone to Louisiana days ago, instead of golfing. Too little, too late!" Trump wrote.
The Republican presidential nominee visited the region on Friday, meeting with some emergency responders and touring the flood damage.
Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards of Louisiana initially expressed hesitation about Trump's visit, but he later said the real-estate magnate may have helped by shining the national spotlight on the floods.
Hillary Clinton's campaign promised that the Democratic presidential nominee would visit Louisiana once it could be sure that her visit would not disrupt disaster recovery efforts.
Obama has faced criticism in the past for golfing at Martha's Vineyard during sensitive national events. The president said he "should've anticipated the optics" of continuing to golf after condemning ISIS' beheading of American journalist James Foley in 2014.
