 The president also took to the streets of Louisiana to survey the damage caused by the natural distaster.
 “I’m here to support the great people of Louisiana. It’s been a tremendous state for me. I love the people, we’ve had a good relationship right from the beginning. I’ve already met some people that have been absolutely devastated. This was a tremendously powerful storm.” – Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States
