Former President Donald Trump visited a Hurricane Helene destruction site in Asheville, North Carolina, and pledged to bring a new crew to help with the rebuilding efforts once he is back in office. Trump expressed shock at the devastation and promised to cut through bureaucratic obstacles to support affected communities. He also vowed to attract businesses to the region and make the rebuilt property even greater and more beautiful than before. Several North Carolina Republicans joined Trump at the press conference, including Speaker of the House Tim Moore and US Sen. Ted Budd, thanking him for his support.
During the visit, a North Carolina man who lost his business in the hurricane gave a powerful prayer alongside Trump, praising his spirit. Trump highlighted the American spirit shown in response to the tragedy, applauding the selfless acts of generosity from citizens across the country. He also recognized Adam Smith, a former Green Beret, for his efforts in distributing supplies. However, North Carolina’s Gov. Roy Cooper criticized Trump, accusing him of lying about the government’s response to the crisis.
Trump emphasized that the people of North Carolina will not be forgotten and praised the resilience of the community. He reassured them that he and the American people are with them all the way. Despite political criticisms, Trump’s visit and promises of support brought hope and encouragement to the residents of western North Carolina.
