Democratic strategist Don Calloway on Thursday slammed a White House video detailing President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?' Romney: 'Unthinkable and unacceptable' to not commit to peaceful transition of power Two Louisville police officers shot amid Breonna Taylor grand jury protests MORE's visit to South Carolina following Hurricane Florence, saying it showed how Trump is overly self-absorbed.

"The overriding pervasive theme with this president is that he is so remarkably out for self in anything he does and pretty much anything he says, and the seat is one for public service," Calloway told Hill.TV's Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on "Rising."

"We expect some idea of service, of caring, of compassion about the public, and the pervading theme of his presidency, and his administration and frankly his life is an overriding concern for self," he continued.

The White House released a video of Trump touring South Carolina after Hurricane Florence caused widespread flooding.

Dramatic background music plays in the background of the piece, which shows Trump speaking with victims and surveying the damage.

Critics said the video focused more on Trump than the victims and first responders on the ground.

Washington Media reporter Eddie Scarry defended the spot, saying former President Obama also put out promotional videos during his administration.

"I'm sure I could go back into the Obama years and find different times where he went and spoke different places in the video. I promise it was not an Obama-free White House," Scarry said on Hill.TV.

"We saw videos, countless videos, of Obama and his vice president walking around the White House, giving each other high fives. I mean, I understand that it's not a disaster, but they make videos of themselves to promote the agenda," he said.
