Trump arrives in Texas for second visit since Harvey
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] US President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... arrived in Houston on Saturday to meet with victims of Hurricane Harvey after a week of historic flooding in the area claimed at least 40 lives and displaced more than 1 million people. On his second visit to the region since the storm made landfall in the United States last week, Trump disembarked from Air Force One wearing dark pants and a rain jacket and was greeted by a group that included Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner. Trump was accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, who wore a blue hat that read "Texas" and a blue denim shirt, and a handful of cabinet members, including Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Veteran Affairs Secretary David Shulkin. Trump asked Congress late Friday for an initial $7.85 billion for hurricane recovery efforts. Abbott has said that his state may need more than $125 billion. The president will meet with Harvey victims at the air field before heading to a relief center. Trump did not interact with victims on his trip Tuesday to Corpus Christi and Austin. Earlier, as he left aboard Air Force One from a military base in Maryland he had tweeted: "We will see you soon. America is with you!" Posted by: Fred 2017-09-03 |
