President Donald Trump put himself back in hurricane mode as Hurricane Irma smashed through the Caribbean on a track that could take it to Florida.
Just days after making efforts to oversee preparations and response efforts for Hurricane Harvey, which wreaked destruction over southeast Texas, Trump tweeted about his storm team.
‘Watching Hurricane closely. My team, which has done, and is doing, such a good job in Texas, is already in Florida.’
President Donald Trump tweeted there was ‘No rest for the weary!’ as Hurricane Irma made its way toward the U.S.
He added: ‘No rest for the weary!’
In another tweet, he wrote, ‘Hurricane looks like largest ever recorded in the Atlantic!’
Trump also relied on Twitter to show the nation that he was on top of Harvey as it barreled toward Texas.
He tracked the storm from Camp David in August, met with his security team, and made a trip to Austin and Corpus Christie after it blasted Texas, leaving much of Houston underwater.
‘After witnessing first hand the horror & devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey,my heart goes out even more so to the great people of Texas!’ Trump wrote in a tweet last month following his initial visit, although he was criticized for not having actually met storm victims on his initial journey.
