Melania and President Trump gave out Red Cross meal boxes with some of the thousands

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump flew to Houston on Saturday morning for their
second trip to Texas since Hurricane Harvey ravaged the state.
Their first stop was the NRG Stadium in Houston, where thousands are evacuating after being
forced out of their homes by the devastating floods brought by Harvey earlier in the week.
Together they gave out Red Cross meal boxes, shook hands and took selfies with some of
the thousands who are being forced to take shelter.
President Trump was jovial and upbeat, kissing the heads of babies and holding hands with
little boys who strode up to him for a hug. Before taking their places to give out food,
the notoriously germaphobic president proclaimed 'my hands are too big' as he struggled his
fingers in to a pair of latex gloves.
Melania, who received criticism for the glamorous outfit she chose to travel to Texas in earlier
in the week, was defiant with her wardrobe choices on Saturday.
She first emerged from the White House in a $1590 Ralph Lauren dress and $650 pair of
Manolo Blahnik heels before changing on board Air Force One into a denim shirt, jeans and
sneakers.
After spending time with evacuees at the stadium, the pair went on to a church in Pearland where
Trump heaped praise on Texas governor Greg Abbott and congratulated him on doing a 'terrific
job' since Harvey hit.
Donald Trump was joined on stage by Senator Ted Cruz, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos,
Governor Greg Abbott and his wife Cecilia, and a handful of others.
After his speech, the president and first lady went outside to load waiting cars and
vans with cases of bottled water. Trump, 71, was hands on, lugging the heavy cases from
the ground to the lined-up vehicles.
The pair left the White House at 9:20 am to make their way to Joint Air Base Andrews where
they boarded Air Force One shortly afterwards.
Melania, heeding none of the criticism she received earlier in the week for wearing towering
stilettos for the journey, stuck with sky scraper heels again.
She paired her snakeskin pumps with a khaki dress and wore her signature pair of sunglasses.
An aide toted two Louis Vuitton bags carrying a change of outfit for her.
After touching down at Eliot Field in Houston, she emerged in a denim shirt, jeans and a
pair of sneakers, adding a hat with the 'Texas' stitched on the front.
President Trump was dressed in a more weather appropriate outfit of a rain coat, shirt and
dark trousers. He carried an umbrella for the pair as they made their way across the
South Lawn to board Marine One.
Immediately after arriving in Texas, the pair went to the NRG Stadium where thousands are
sheltering to give out food.
Trump was warm and jovial, kissing babies and chatting to young children who have been
forced to recuperate at the stadium with their families after having their homes wiped away
by the storm.
They dished out lunch boxes containing hot dogs, potato chips and apples to lines of
hungry evacuees and posed for selfies with fans before leaving the stadium to move on
to Louisiana.
Before making his exit, Trump told gathered reporters that the people he spoke with were
'very happy' and said that though the hurricane itself was 'tough', the unified response of
the country was 'wonderful'.
He made brief reference to his request for an additional $7.9 billion to give the victims
of the hurricane.
'We're signing a lot of documents now to get money into Houston. We signed it and now it's
going through a very quick, hopefully quick process,' he said.
It is his second visit to Texas where at least 45 are dead and 32,000 are in evacuation shelters
as a result of Harvey which has been heralded as the worst natural disaster to have ever
hit the US.
Floods have destroyed entire neighborhoods in Houston and Beaumont and Port Arthur in
south east Texas.
There are areas of Louisiana which have also been affected. Local authorities are working
round-the-clock to rescue anyone still stranded and recover the bodies of those who were unable
to escape.
During their brief visit to Houston, the Trumps also met with members of the Texas delegation
before making their way to Louisiana at around lunchtime.
There, they will take part in a meet and greet with members of the Cajun Navy, a civilian
organization comprised of volunteers with boats who have saved thousands since Harvey
hit last week.
The couple will fly back to Washington DC afterwards and will arrive back at the White
House
at 9pm.
