North Carolina locals who survived Hurricane Helene in September but suffered massive losses from the storm share their thoughts on President Donald Trump's visit.

President Donald Trump on Friday is visiting North Carolina — a state he said “has been abandoned by the Democrats” as it rebuilds from Hurricane Helene’s flooding — with questions about disaster relief taking center stage in his first days back in office.

On a visit to a North Carolina neighborhood destroyed by Hurricane Helene, President Trump was highly critical of FEMA, suggesting it should be shut down. Trump arrived late Friday in Los Angeles to visit an area destroyed by a wildfire.
