President Trump on Sunday said he is planning a trip to storm-ravaged Texas, and praised the government response to Hurricane Harvey, including the “thousands rescued” by emergency crews, as storm water rises and strands residents across the state. Continuing rains and flash floods are being dealt with,” Trump tweeted. “Thousands rescued.”The president also tweeted that he will be traveling to the Lone Star State, "as soon as that trip can be made without causing disruption. “The administration is being very focused on making sure the state has everything it needs.”Like Trump, Perry was careful to make clear that Texas is leading the storm-recovery efforts, praising Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s response, as flood waters reach dangerous levels in Houston, where evacuations are expected to continue for days.
