PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. President Donald Trump flew to Florida Wednesday to survey recovery efforts and lingering damage from last year's Hurricane Michael before holding an evening campaign rally.
Trump was greeted by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and local elected officials as he arrived at Tyndall Air Force Base, which was severely affected by the Category 5 hurricane. Almost every building appeared damaged in some way, including a collapsed hangar.
The White House said almost all 700 structures on the base were damaged, roughly one-third were destroyed, and 11,000 base personnel were evacuated. The White House blamed "Democrat obstruction" for a stoppage in recovery work, with about 120 projects being deferred.
Trump's opposition to more hurricane aid for Puerto Rico has sparked a standoff with congressional Democrats that is blocking assistance to the island and elsewhere, including the Florida Panhandle.

"Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me". Wake up and smell the coffee and listen to Baba O' Riley a few times (we won't get fooled again).
