Hurricane Florence: Trump tells victim 'at least you got a nice boat out of the deal' during North Carolina visit

Donald Trump told a victim of Hurricane Florence in North Carolina that “at least you got a nice boat out of the deal” after a yacht ended up in his garden. On a visit to New Bern, one of the areas worst affected by the storm, the US president sought to comfort residents and, at one point, introduce some levity among the destruction. During a packed day, he visited both North and South Carolina, distributed meals at a church, walked amid piles of sodden furniture in damaged neighbourhoods, offered hugs and handshakes to residents and discussed the response efforts with local and state officials.
