Yet again, President Trump turns disaster response into a campaign event, wearing a hat his campaign's website is currently featuring for $29. As we've seen, this kind of cross promotion is the default for Trump.
There's no question that it's a campaign hat. It even says TRUMP 2020 on it. Believe it or not, he does this a lot. In fact, turning disaster response into campaign gear promotion is part of his playbook. 
We first saw it with Hurricane Harvey, in the early days of the Trump presidency. We couldn't have known back then just how often we'd see him do it. washingtonpost.com/news/postevery…
California wildfires? There's the Trump campaign hat (in camp, because he's in a forest).
Did he even do a hurricane response photo op at Camp David just to launch a new campaign hat? citizensforethics.org/trump-hat-hurr…
Yes, yes he did. citizensforethics.org/trump-launches…
Even the creation Space Force looks like an effort to sell campaign hats citizensforethics.org/mick-mulvaney-…
For previous presidents, disaster response was a way to reassure a scared and shaken public. For Trump, it's a way to sell gear for his reelection.
