Trump suggests NC man might get to keep yacht that shipwrecked in his yard
By Mike Moffitt
No one can accuse President Donald J. Trump of not looking on the bright side.
On Wednesday, Trump toured the the North Carolina coast to see firsthand the destruction wreaked by Hurricane Florence, which the president called a "tough hurricane, one of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water."
Trump was particularly struck by a storm-tossed yacht that smashed into a New Bern home and lodged against the house's deck.
Trump looked at the yacht, asking, "Is this your boat?" The owner said no.
Trump replied, "at least you got a nice boat out of the deal."
Speaking to reporters, Trump said the owner told him his insurance company didn't want to pay for the damage to his home. "We're going to find out," he said. "We're going to find out the name of the insurance company."
"I think it's incredible what we're seeing," the president added. "This boat just came here. They don't know whose boat that is," he said. "What's the law? Maybe it becomes theirs."
Hey, if no one claims it, finders keepers, right?
