His next tweet came at 7:37 p.m. marking his return to the White House from North Carolina/South Carolina to view storm damage.

During both visits Officials warned that while the rain in areas has stopped for the time being they caution that the danger is not over, and tell people to not let their guard down as river and lake water could still rise. 

President Trump in his opening remarks from Marine Corps Air Station in Cherry Point, North Carolina, said, “Hurricane Florence was one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the Carolina’s, one of the most powerful and devastating storms ever to hit our country. To the families who have lost loved ones, America grieves with you and our hearts break for you. God bless you. We will never forget your loss. We will never leave your side. We are with you all the way. To all of those impacted by this terrible storm, our entire American family is with you and ready to help you will recover.”

He took a break on Twitter from highlighting his trip to the Carolina’s @ 7:57 in order to plug a new book by former Congressmen Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), called “The Deep State.” 

During the President’s wide ranging interview with The Hill, President Trump told Buck Sexton, one of the interviewers, that he doesn’t like to use the term “deep state,” saying it sounds so conspiratorial: 

Buck Sexton: Mr. President, would you call this a deep state? People use that term.

President Trump: I don’t like to use it because it sounds so conspiratorial and believe it or not I’m really not a conspiratorial person. But I think it’s a sad day for our country.
