Here's a transcript of Trump's opening remarks this morning at his North Carolina briefing on hurricane recovery. 
Trump in South Carolina: “You’re going to have a lot of water. We see it; it’s coming down. It just comes down. Nobody would believe a thing like this could happen. And already you’ve broken all records, and this is going to add four, five, six feet of water all over the state.”
Trump in South Carolina: “We just left North Carolina. They got hit really, really hard, and they are working. And all of that water is coming your way. A lot of people don’t know that.”
More Trump: “So I know you have a rough few days. It will last a long time. It could last a long time. But you’re going to have a rebuilding process, and we are behind you from day one. From three days ago, and now it looks nice, but it’s really the calm before the storm.”
