Don't be too sure that Trump wasn't there. Many celebrities stopped by, maybe I'm different, but they offered their autographs but I didn't want them not even a few of the Jets. I would have preferred it if they joined and lifted rocks. At one point I saw a limo-Trump's? Maybe. I think he knew that he'd just be in the way.
My understanding was that he sent many of his employees, with pay, to help if they could. I also think he did come there to assure himself of their well being but, as you said, thought he'd be in the way. Cuz when the chips are down our President is NOT a showboat.
