‘You Are Not Forgotten’: President Trump Delivers on North Carolina Recovery

This happened on September 27th. That's four months ago. Well, for us, today is still September 27th. You know, we haven't had help.

We've come to North Carolina with a simple message for all the people of this region who were hit so hard by Hurricane Helene. And that message is very simple. You are not forgotten any longer.

There were people out.

Everywhere looking.

For their loved ones. And there were dead bodies. You know, my son's like, mom, you're gonna see things you.

Don'T want to see.

I promised that I'd come back to Western North Carol, to help the people of the state. And today, here I am. We're honored to be joined today very quickly, by several families affected by the vicious storm.

You feel guilty, even be alive sometimes. We just lost everything.

The water covered everybody. We'll be at your side through every step of the rebuilding. And no American is going to be left behind. The highest responsibility and deepest obligation of the American government is to protect its people. I'm pleased to announce that under our leadership, the federal government will be surging housing solutions to the state that go beyond mere temporary hotel stays. Today I'll also be signing an executive order slashing all red tape and bureaucratic barriers and permits to ensure the rapid reconstruction of the roads here in western North Carolina.

Thank you, President. This is our president.
