"I just spoke to Elon ... We wanna get Starlink hooked up because they have no communication whatsoever. And Elon will always come through and we know that. And so we're working on that, getting them hooked up. They asked me whether or not that would be possible. We're gonna try and get the Starlink in there as soon as possible because they have no communication..." -President Trump

[PJMedia.com] Kamala Harris was in San Francisco for a campaign fundraiser on Sunday, and by Monday, Joe Biden announced that there would be no additional federal aid for Hurricane Helene victims. It's just another example of the incompetence and indifference we've come to expect from the Biden-Harris administration when it comes to handling disasters.  (Screengrab image: via X)

Thankfully, Donald Trump stepped up to fill the leadership void.

President Trump gave a speech in Valdosta, GA, addressing Hurricane Helene's aftermath. During the speech, Trump not only pledged support and praised ongoing relief efforts, but he also discussed aid distribution. He emphasized unity, acknowledged victims, and called for more federal assistance to affected areas.

"We're here today to stand in complete solidarity with the people of Georgia and with all of those suffering in the terrible aftermath of Hurricane Helene," he said.

"The town is, very, very badly hurting, and many thousands are without power," he added. "They're running low on food and fuel. We brought a lot of it down with us. It's gonna be distributed now or soon throughout Georgia as well as, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Alabama, and Tennessee. That's a big one. And the devastation wrought by this storm is incredible."

"Homes, hospitals, highways, and cars have been plunged underwater," Trump continued. "Entire neighborhoods have been turned into lakes. Nobody's seen anything like it. And every family that's been displaced here in Georgia and North Carolina, ... which has really been hit. We're going there also and, they don't have communication."

Trump wasn't just there to talk the talk. In addition to helping bring supplies, he announced that he had spoken with Elon Musk to ensure that affected areas have WiFi available for communications.

"I just spoke to Elon, I'm getting him," Trump said. "We wanna get Starlink hooked up because they have no communication whatsoever. And Elon will always come through and we know that. And so we're working on that, getting them hooked up. They asked me whether or not that would be possible. We're gonna try and get the Starlink in there as soon as possible because they have no communication. And throughout the region, our hearts are with you, and we are, going to be with you as long as you need it"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
