WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has “great concern” about the dangers of Hurricane Irma as it batters the Florida coast and has told his team he wants to travel to the state as soon as practicable, his vice president said on Sunday.

“Clearly the briefing that we received at Camp David this morning caused the president to have great concern for the impact of this storm moving up the west coast and the potential through heavy winds and storm surge to compromise cities and compromise lives,” Vice President Mike Pence told reporters.

Trump spent the weekend at the presidential retreat in Maryland monitoring the storm, meeting with his cabinet and talking with governors from the region. He directed the full resources of the federal government to help Florida and other states hit by the hurricane, Pence said.

“The president has already expressed to our team a desire to be there every bit as soon as is possible,” Pence told CBS affiliate WKMG-TV in Orlando, noting the government’s immediate focus was on saving lives.

4. I can picture Pence furrowing his brow in concern

He only cares about the Christians in Florida. A certain type of Christian; the "right" kind.
