'We did a good job': Trump says he was 'saving lives' during hurricanes
Former President Donald Trump suggested Monday that he spent time "saving lives" during two recent hurricanes.
During a rally in North Carolina, Trump recalled his discussion with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).
"You know, one thing I was — I was — Marco was talking, and I said, you had — you got hit so hard by that hurricane," Trump told the crowd. "And we cared only — we didn't care about what we're doing today."
"We only cared about saving lives. And we did a good job."
Trump implied that he saved more lives than the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which he said "did a horrible job."
"You know why?" he asked. "Because they've spent all their money on bringing in murderers and a lot of people."
"They spent all their money on bringing in illegal migrants."

Vice President Kamala Harris has called Trump's claims about FEMA funding very misleading.
"There's a lot of mis- and disinformation being pushed out there by the former president about what is available in particular to the survivors of Helene," Harris said following the hurricane. "It's extraordinarily irresponsible: it's about him, it's not about you. And the reality is that FEMA has so many resources that are available to folks who desperately need them."
