Trump's visit to North Carolina means more than many understand

In the days leading up to President Donald Trump’s visit to this corner of Appalachian North Carolina, Monica Glowinski said her biggest prayer for the people of this county devastated by the wrath of Hurricane Helene was that she hoped Trump would not let their plight be forgotten.

“I am optimistic that President Trump is focusing his energies here,” she said, adding that she hopes it is not a false promise. “Because I just don’t think the people could handle that at this point.”
