“They really need our help,” said Trump. “People don’t understand how bad it is.”
Local media tweeted video of Trump unloading the 18 wheeler of supplies he donated to the relief efforts.
Donald Trump will be in Jackson, Mississippi Wednesday, August 24th for a fundraiser, followed by a public event at 7pm at the Mississippi Coliseum.
