President Trump arrived in Florida on Thursday morning for a tour of the hurricane-ravaged state, saying the federal government wants to make sure the residents are “as happy as we can.”

Flanked by Vice President Mike Pence and First Lady Melania Trump in Fort Myers, the president said power was being restored across Florida ahead of schedule.

“Weeks ahead of schedule — most of it outside the Keys, where we have a really special problem. But we’re working very hard,” he said.

“We’re going to see some of the folks to make sure they are happy, because we’re trying to keep them as happy as we can,” he added. “In many cases they lost their homes and it’s a tough situation.”

Also on hand was Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who said that electricity has been restored to more than 4 million customers – but there are still more than 2 million without it in the state.

He said a fuel shortage remains a problem, with long lines at gas stations, but that military vehicles are accompanying tanker trucks on their refueling trips.

“As you know, our state has been devastated,” said Scott, who thanked Team Trump for the federal response to the disaster. “We’re not done yet, we’re going to work hard. The federal government will continue to be a partner. We’re going to continue being a strong, resilient state.

“Everybody’s prayers helped get us through this,” he said.

From Fort Myers, his entourage will head to hard-hit Naples about 40 miles to the south.

Before leaving the White House on Thursday morning, Trump said that “historically there’s never been anything like this.”

“But the United States Coast Guard, FEMA, working along with Gov. Scott, they’ve really done an amazing job,” he said. “We have the largest assemblage of human beings ever in one area for power, and rapidly it’s being turned on.”
