President Donald Trump toured flood-ravaged regions of central Texas on Friday as he praised emergency responders and lamented the destruction.
“All across the country, Americans’ hearts are shattered,” Trump said in Texas after touring the region and meeting with officials.
“I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve seen a lot of bad ones. I’ve gone to a lot of hurricanes, a lot of tornadoes. I’ve never seen anything like this. This is a bad one,” Trump said. “Nobody has any idea how and why a thing like this could happen.”
