PRESIDENT TRUMP GIVES
HURRICANE FLORENCE UPDATE
President Trump held a press spray in the Oval Office in order to insist that the administration is prepared to deal with Hurricane Florence if it ends up making landfall this week.
“The safety of American people is my absolute highest priority. We are sparing no expense. We are totally prepared, ready. We’re as ready as anybody has ever been,” Trump said. “They haven’t seen anything like what’s coming at us in 25, 30 years. Maybe ever.”
“It is tremendously big, tremendously wet,” Trump continued. “Tremendous amounts of water. So I have spoken with the governors of South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia. They’re prepared, we are prepared.”
President Trump said Tuesday that one of his administration's "best jobs" was the response to the hurricanes in PR.
Trump was asked what lessons the government could take from 2017 as the federal government prepares for Hurricane Florence to barrel into the mid-Atlantic coast later this week.
"I think probably the hardest one we had by far was PR because of the island nature, and I actually think it was one of the best jobs that’s ever been done with respect to what this is all about," Trump told reporters during an Oval Office briefing on the path of Florence.
