President Trump, Melania board Air Force One for first time in 4 years, photo shows

Trump and his wife - who was wearing a green jacket and aviator sunglasses - were seen getting onboard the aircraft at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.  

"We're going to North Carolina. It's a horrible thing, the way that's been allowed to fester. And we're going to get it fixed up. Should have been done months ago from the hurricane that took place almost four months ago," Trump told reporters after leaving the White House. "North Carolina has been treated very badly." 

"So we're stopping there and we are then going to go to Los Angeles and take a look at a fire that could have been put out if they let the water flow but they didn't let the water flow, and they still haven't for whatever reason. So, I think we're going to have a very interesting time," Trump added.
