Melania Trump issued an emotional message of support to the families of victims who lost their lives in the Texas floods.

The Trumps held a closed-door discussion with the victims' families at the expo hall. Melania was given the bracelet "in honor of all the little girls" at Camp Mystic, a conservative Christian camp for girls, where 27 campers and counsellors were killed after being trapped in flood waters.

President Donald Trump toured the devastation from catastrophic flooding in Texas and lauded local officials amid mounting criticism that they failed to warn residents quickly enough that a deadly wall of water was coming their way.
