Representative Chuck Edwards (R) of North Carolina presented former President Trump with a French Fries Recognition Pin in recognition of the former president's work at a McDonald's drive-thru over the weekend.

We remain committed to helping us rebuild this beautiful community.” I'm very honored to be here,” Edwards said before President Trump's speech.
President Trump on Monday again attacked the federal government's response to Hurricane Helen, repeating false claims about funding and criticizing Gov. Roy Cooper (D). He also said he supports Congress coming back early to approve more disaster aid, while repeating debunked claims about FEMA spending on immigrants.
President Trump also called FEMA's response “disgraceful.”
Lawmakers, the Biden administration and other officials have repeatedly pushed back against Trump's claims, stressing that FEMA funds are meant for natural disaster response.
