(full article title: Trump touches down in Florida after flying over hurricane-ravaged state: President and Melania hand out sandwiches to victims before surveying Irma's aftermath as he praises recovery efforts)

President Donald Trump flew to hurricane-devastated Florida to view recovery efforts, meet with residents who had their lives upended by the latest storm, and give a political plug to the state's GOP governor, Rick Scott.

'This is a state that I know very well as you understand,' the president said after meeting with Floridians in Naples. 'These are special, special people and we love 'em.'

'We love these people - we're going to be back, and we're going to help them,' Trump said.

The president handed out sandwiches to people who lined up in Naples to get a meal and perhaps shake hands and get a selfie with Trump.

He reassured locals: 'We are there for you 100 percent.'

The president lined up next to Vice President Mike Pence and began handing out hoagies.

He wore rubber gloves at first, but when people were eager to get more than a sandwich, he ended up shaking hands with the gloves on.

When he first put them on, the president complained: 'They're too small,' as his right glove ripped along the thumb.

All the while, he made small talk with residents who appeared happy for the relief.

'Don't forget to take one!' the urged one visitor. 'Here's a nice one!' he said, pointing to a sandwich. He also offered a banana from a table of refreshments.

'There's Melania, she's gorgeous!' one woman remarked upon seeing the first lady, who like her husband wore a baseball cap.

No one suggested you need to worship anyone, it was just a funny comment from Trump regarding the leftist election spectacle.
