President Donald Trump on Thursday visited the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) headquarters to monitor Tropical Storm Laura’s impact on the Gulf Coast, hours before he is slated to deliver an address for the Republican National Convention (RNC) and accept the GOP’s nomination.

“We got a little bit lucky,” Trump said. “It was very big, it was very powerful. But it passed quickly and so everything’s on schedule.”
