In a visit to Peosta, Iowa Thursday, President Donald Trump offered comment about the tornadoes that impacted central Iowa on July 19th, including Pella.
“I want to also send our prayers to the communities who have been affected by the recent, devastating tornadoes in central Iowa. That was all over the news and I watched it. I love this place. It’s been a very special place to me and, you know, whatever we can do, we’re doing. We have a lot of federal people out here, some incredible people, and they’re all working with your representatives and I know they’re doing the best they can, but I will tell you that’s a terrible event. The power of nature. People have no idea.”
Trump stopped in Iowa for a roundtable discussion with Governor Kim Reynolds and U.S. Representative Rod Blum, among others, at Northeast Iowa Community College to discuss workforce development.
A crowd of supporters and protesters were outside the entrance to the community college campus when the president’s motorcade arrived.
