Nearly seven months after he first toured the damage wrought by the Category 5 hurricane that struck this area of the Florida Panhandle, President Trump is returning. But he won't be heralding millions of dollars in disaster relief funding for the area.

But he won't be heralding millions of dollars in disaster relief funding for the area. Those funds -- sought by local residents and Florida elected officials for months -- remain tied up in slow-moving negotiations over a broader multi-billion dollar disaster relief package amid a dispute over how much assistance should flow to Puerto Rico.Trump has repeatedly complained about the federal funding steered to help the US territory recover from the hurricane that devastated the island in 2017.

The impasse did not dissuade Trump from making an appearance Wednesday in the area affected by Hurricane Michael, even as local elected officials -- including the state's Republican governor -- have suggested Trump should only come to the area with a disaster relief funding deal in hand."Why would you want to come unless you are going to announce more good news?" Gov. Ron DeSantis -- who met with Trump on Monday to discuss the relief funding -- told local reporters last weekend.

Is he going to Puerto Rico

I live in Panama City Beach. You are fakenews, the Federal response was immediate & amazing. I lived it assholes!

Mainly because of the DoNothing Democrats!! redwavetsunami2020

Duh, cuz he's just making a pit stop on his way to golf at one of his taxpayer funded resorts...

Karma for voting Trump

Yep, realDonaldTrump has failed at this, too.

So, Americans have no tap water to drink? How primitive is that?

Yea due to the Dems holding up funding for that state.

He’s just stopping on his way to Mar-A-Lago

Clown

Yes he will

CNN is cancer

SAVE THE GOLF CLUB, he cries!

' whos. BOAT is this boat ? '

After five months he didn’t return because they received every help they needed. The elected officials in this state aren’t as corrupt as PR.

....just an excuse to head back to Mar a Largo for a long weekend at taxpayers expense...

Clinton - Hatti How did that work out for Hattians no so good, the Clintons well that's another story.

Yep. It's all been squandered by Puerto Rico.

What grand thing will Trump do today? I know, tell another lie about what he is doing to help the people of FL! Trump is a fraud!

He’ll be hawking $30 hats

He might throw some paper towels however.

But he'll be throwing rolls of paper towels AMIRITE?

Yep! I hope they say it...

pretty sure he bleated on this morning about billions of dollars being given to relief fund.. was that a lie? surely not

Did they get those pallets of water off the runway finally?

Nice try, they love Trump in Florida

Care to disclose why? 🤔

Nearly 3 years after the US election, CNN is still a bunch of cry babies. The only consistent part of your network.

Will he be THROWING PAPER TOWELS at the poor people who lost everything DESPICABLE TRUMP P, AND MELANIE, STF home!

That's because Democrats care more about handing that money to places that don't need it. We out here in the midwest lost millions of dollars in cattle and crops. Our emergency declaration approved by Trump got denied by Democrat's. Good luck with the high food prices.

This happens every year. Why do people live there?

Because of Democrats

In Trump vs. California, the state is winning nearly all its environmental casesCalifornia’s lawsuits have targeted the Trump administration’s policies on immigration, healthcare and education. But nowhere has the legal battle had a greater impact than on Trump’s agenda of dismantling Obama-era environmental regulations.

Florida Republicans warn Trump not to arrive in storm-torn Panhandle empty-handedFlorida Republicans have warned the White House that Trump's rally in Panama City on Wednesday needs to include an announcement of aid for the storm-torn region.

They want him to say something other that hate-speech? I’m stunned! Isn’t that the point of his rallies... to demonize “others” and his opponents. Give me a break!
