In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact, former President Donald Trump is once again stepping up to do what the current administration won’t.
“North Carolina has really been hit hard, really, really bad, the hardest.
Big-name donors, including Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) ($500,000), UFC CEO Dana White ($100,000), Dan Newlin ($100,000), and Bass Pro Shops ($100,000), quickly stepped up to offer significant contributions offline.
But while the Biden administration fumbles in its response, President Trump is taking swift action to provide relief where it’s needed most.
In a statement to the press on Monday morning, Trump blasted the White House’s unresponsiveness, saying: “They’re having a very hard time getting the President on the phone; he won’t get on, and of course, the Vice President, she’s out someplace campaigning, looking for money.” Trump confirmed he would be traveling to North Carolina next, one of the hardest-hit states by Hurricane Helene, to provide direct support and meet with officials.
As the Category Four storm leaves a path of destruction over 500 miles wide across several Southeastern states, more than 100 people have reportedly lost their lives, and millions are left without power.
“The federal government is not being responsive.” Not one to sit idly by, Trump’s campaign team, led by Finance Director Meredith O’Rourke, has launched a GoFundMe page to provide immediate relief to the victims of Hurricane Helene.
