Former President Donald Trump visited North Carolina on Wednesday, spotlighting the lingering devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. His tour included stops in towns still struggling to recover from the storm’s aftermath, highlighting the urgent need for federal assistance. "These communities deserve better support," Trump declared, vowing to advocate for swift disaster aid.
During his visit, Trump took aim at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), criticizing its response to the disaster. "FEMA is not good," he said, stressing the need for substantial reform within the agency to ensure timely and effective aid for disaster-stricken areas. His comments echo growing frustrations among residents and local leaders about the slow recovery process.
The former president's visit comes amid ongoing discussions in Congress about increasing funding for disaster relief, particularly as North Carolina continues to confront the economic and structural fallout from the catastrophic floods. "California may get all the headlines, but don't forget about North Carolina," Trump urged, drawing attention to the pressing need for equitable disaster assistance across states.
Local officials welcomed Trump's involvement, hoping his influence could spur action from Washington. Many residents remain skeptical, however, recalling past promises that fell short. As North Carolina grapples with these challenges, the call for a comprehensive strategy to rebuild and restore the state grows louder, emphasizing the crucial role of both local and federal support.
