It really helps us out. Former President Donald Trump did what the President of the United States
0:38
Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has not done. Now President Biden says he'll do it Wednesday
0:45
but what happened is Trump went and visited the hurricane victims. Now the hurricane victims were really happy to see him
0:52
but there was something that really irked the CNN anchors and you could see how much it bothered him actually
1:00
What happened was when he went there, FEMA, local officials, all these people were giving former President Trump updates on the situation
1:09
as if he were the sitting president. Because hey, it's nice to have somebody there who actually cares, right
1:16
And I think that's what happened here. They're like, hey, we have somebody
1:20
We have somebody's ear who can make things happen and former President Trump, he could still make things happen
1:26
especially with his friends in Congress. I want you to watch what he did
1:30
and I want you to watch how CNN responded to it and then let me know what you think in the comments
1:36
Let's go to CNN's Kristen Holmes with us now and Kristen, it's interesting because former President Trump
1:41
is talking about how politics don't matter, but clearly they do when you have a swing state
1:48
that is so important being affected by such a big storm. We know that FEMA has already deployed some satellites
1:55
for Starlink connectivity to the region and you hear Trump trying to create a sense of
2:03
the Biden administration hasn't really done much to help out. He's made some baseless claims about that
2:09
We know the president has approved an emergency declaration days ago in Georgia
2:14
Tell us what you're seeing here and what the Trump campaign is saying. Yeah, well look, this is a red state
2:19
Donald Trump is being treated as a principal here. He is being treated not just as a former president
2:24
but almost as though he is a sitting president. As Boris, you just noted, getting a briefing from FEMA
2:30
getting a briefing from the National Guard. That is not something that is typically just offered to a candidate
2:35
They are treating him as though he is a former president who is there to help
2:39
And one thing that I had noticed earlier during our 1 p.m. conversation
2:44
was that Donald Trump did not have that much to offer in terms of resources since he is not a sitting president
2:50
But I will note that he and the campaign say that they have arrived in that area
2:54
with trucks full of supplies that they plan on giving out. So there is something there for them to offer
3:01
He also said that he had a tanker truck full of gasoline, which obviously if you've ever covered one of these storms
3:07
you understand that one of the first things and hardest things to come by is gasoline
3:11
So he said that he was going to be giving that out. He is clearly taking this seriously as a politician is on the ground
3:18
trying to show that he is there in support of the people on the ground in Georgia
3:23
And of course this comes as while he is, again, offering a message of unity
3:27
he has spent the last several days slamming Kamala Harris, his rival, for not being on the ground, for not helping with this storm
3:35
And I do want to point out what you said was very interesting about the Starlink. FEMA, yes, has been doing that
3:40
But Donald Trump taking it to another level, saying he's going to personally have a conversation with Elon Musk
3:45
which does matter given what we know about their relationship, trying to insert himself there to say that he has the efforts
3:52
he has the resources to actually help people on the ground
