President Donald Trump met with victims and families on Friday in Tennessee after a series of tornadoes hit Nashville and surrounding towns.

Reporters were kept away from hearing his full conversations with the group of storm victims and members of their families, but as Trump spoke privately to the group of people, many of them began applauding and shouted “Amen!” according to footage streamed live by White House press cameras.

At another point in the conversation, Trump pointed at the sky, as he typically does when referring to God or a loved one who has passed away.

“We’re a big family; we support you,” one man said to Trump as the others agreed. “We’re going to support you again.”

At least 25 people were killed in the storms.

The president also met survivors at the Jefferson Avenue Church Of Christ in Cookeville, where a crowd of about 100 people from the area was gathered with emergency supplies for those affected by the storm.

“This is inspiring to see the way it all came together,” Trump said. “Even all of this — Churches of Christ — tremendous amounts of food and goods, and it all came within a matter of hours.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) joined the president as well as other local officials and Gov. Bill Lee (R), who led the group in prayer.

“It’s a case study — a case study of what should be done and how it can be done,” Trump replied. “It’s Tennessee.”

“The Volunteer State,” Blackburn added.

“It is indeed the Volunteer State,” Trump continued. “Thank you all very much. Great job.”

The president also spoke to reporters after touring the damage wearing a flight jacket and a “Keep America Great” campaign hat.

Several Marine One choppers and five Ospreys flanking

Low altitude....maybe 500 feet

Was so glad Trump came to TN and met with and talked with people in destroyed residential areas of TN. The people were all glad to see him in their neighborhoods looking after them and the future of their families.

I saw two Marine one helicopters accompanied by three Osprey planes. Local news kept saying they were not informed of when and where Trump would be and didn’t know if he was going to be on the ground. Tight security.
