News: Donald Trump Promise A 'Very Rapid Action' From His Team To Fix Texas

Accompanied by first lady Melania Trump, Chief of Staff John Kelly and other administration officials, Trump landed on Air Force One in Corpus Christi, where they met with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Texas Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, as well as FEMA Administrator Brock Long for an update on relief efforts.

The president said they would deal with the crisis "better than ever before," so that years from now people will say "this is the way to do it."
"We won't say congratulations," he told those seated with him at a fire station in Corpus Christi. "We don't want to do that, we don't want to congratulate. We'll congratulate each other when
it's all finished."

“We love you. You are special. We are here to take care of you, historic” and “epic. It happened in Texas, and Texas can handle anything," Trump said.

On Monday at the White House, Trump praised the "incredible" spirit of the people of Texas, applauding acts of kindness and heroism captured by television cameras on the ground and voicing optimism for recovery funds that will soon be considered by Congress.

"I think that you’re going to see very rapid action from Congress," Trump said, predicting Texas will "be up and running very, very quickly" in the aftermath of the storm.

"I have already spoken to Congress and everybody feels for you and feels for what you're going through," the president said at the White House, where he acknowledged the "great respect" many have for the way Texas has handled the "historic" storm, while recognizing it has a long road ahead, with rain still pouring down.
