Trump Says Government ‘Totally Prepared’ for Hurricane

President Trump said his administration is “sparing no expense” to prepare for Hurricane Florence, which he described as “tremendously big and tremendously wet,” and containing “tremendous amounts of water,” Roll Call reports.

Said Trump: “We are totally prepared. We are ready as anybody has ever been.”

ABC News notes Trump also called the government’s response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico “incredibly successful” even though a recent federal report found that nearly 3,000 people died.
