Trump Said He Brought Supplies To Storm Ravaged Georgia. There’s No Evidence He Did.

The former and would-be future president's visit also required dozens of local police officers for security, diverting them from storm cleanup
While Donald Trump took credit for bringing truckloads of supplies to hurricane-ravaged Georgia last month, it appears that the only thing he brought to Valdosta that day was traffic and a first-responder diversion from the relief effort.
“Today I’ve come to Valdosta with large semi-trucks, many of them filled with relief aid, and a tanker truck filled up with gasoline. We have a couple of the big tanker trucks filled up with gasoline,” the coup-attempting former president said Sept. 30 in front of a destroyed furniture store in Valdosta.
Trump’s campaign later sent out a press release headlined, “President Trump Delivers Relief, Support To Hurricane-Ravaged South,” which then stated: “President Trump delivered relief supplies to aid in the hurricane’s devastating aftermath: ‘We have a lot of truckloads of different items, from oil to water to all sorts of equipment that’s going to help ... We’re here today to stand in complete solidarity with the people of Georgia and with all of those suffering.’”
In reality, those trucks were brought by Samaritan’s Purse, a charity run by the pastor Franklin Graham. They were already there by the time Trump flew to the local airport and then rode into town in his Secret Service motorcade, according to residents.
That motorcade and the increased security needed at Trump’s photo opportunity required 42 officers from the Georgia State Patrol, according to documents from that agency obtained by HuffPost.
