“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
