President Donald Trump said it was “hard to believe the devastation” as he visited Texas to see firsthand the damage from extreme floods that killed at least 120 people and left scores still missing in the state’s Hill Country region.
Trump’s visit was aimed at reassuring residents that the federal government was committing the resources needed for search-and-recovery operations and to help rebuild communities ravaged by the floods.
“My administration is doing everything in its power to help Texas,” Trump said Friday at a roundtable with first responders and local officials in Kerrville, Texas, and expressed astonishment at the scope of the disaster.
“The first lady and I are here in Texas to express the love and support and the anguish of our entire nation in the aftermath of this really horrific and deadly flood,” the president said. “Nobody has any idea how and why a thing like this could happen.”
