Trump to storm victim, "At least you got a nice boat out of the deal."

He also joked with a family who had a large yacht they didn’t own wash up against their house. “At least you got a nice boat out of the deal,” he told them. “What’s the law? Maybe it becomes theirs.”

And he was caught on camera telling a person to whom he had just handed food to “have a good time.”

After a briefing on the recovery effort in North Carolina, Trump helped hand out hot dogs and chips at a Baptist church in New Bern, a riverfront city that experienced severe flooding. The president leaned over and checked in with people as they drove through to pick up food.

“How’s the house?” he asked one person. “You take care of yourself,” he said.

It will cost thousands to get it removed and that doesn't even begin to
cover the costs of any damage to your buildings.

It is kind of like the Captain of the Titanic telling the people that they
can now have all the free ice that they want.
