Tracking Trump for August 28th - What the President has been up to...

Bottom Line: The Trump administration had 140 total executive actions and a Supreme Court Justice to show for his Presidency through Friday morning. Here's what's happened since:

The Trump Tweets:

  • Storm turned Hurricane is getting much bigger and  more powerful than projected. Federal Government is on site and ready to respond. Be safe!

  • At  the request of the Governor of Texas, I have signed the Disaster Proclamation, which unleashes the full force of government help!

  • I  am pleased to inform you that I have just granted a full Pardon to 85 year old American patriot Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He kept Arizona safe!

  • (To  FEMA) You are doing a great job - the world is watching! Be safe.

  • .@ChuckGrassley - got your message loud and clear. We have fantastic people on the ground, got there long before#Harvey.  So far, so good!

  • Closely  monitoring #HurricaneHarvey from Camp David. We are leaving nothing to chance. City, State and Federal Govs. working great together!

  • THANK  YOU to all of the great volunteers helping out with #HurricaneHarvey relief in Texas!

  • Wonderful  coordination between Federal, State and Local Governments in the Great State of Texas - TEAMWORK! Record setting rainfall.

  • A  great book by a great guy, highly recommended! (Sheriff David Clarke's new book)

  • Great  coordination between agencies at all levels of government. Continuing rains and flash floods are being dealt with. Thousands rescued.

  • Many  people are now saying that this is the worst storm/hurricane they have ever seen. Good news is that we have great talent on the ground.

  • I  will be going to Texas as soon as that trip can be made without causing disruption. The focus must be life and safety.

  • I  will also be going to a wonderful state, Missouri, that I won by a lot in '16. Dem C.M. is opposed to big tax cuts. Republican will win S!

  • Wow  - Now experts are calling #Harvey a once in 500 year flood! We have an all out effort going, and going well!

  • With  Mexico being one of the highest crime Nations in the world, we must have THE WALL. Mexico will pay for it through reimbursement/other.

  • We  are in the NAFTA (worst trade deal ever made) renegotiation process with Mexico & Canada.Both being very difficult,may have to terminate?

  • Going  to a Cabinet Meeting (tele-conference) at 11:00 A.M. on #Harvey.  Even experts have said they've never seen one like this!

  • Major  rescue operations underway!

  • HISTORIC  rainfall in Houston, and all over Texas. Floods are unprecedented, and more rain coming. Spirit of the people is incredible.Thanks!
