Found something to diplomatically thank Trump about while making an earlier point that organization is woefully absent federally.

I'd vote for him. He's doing a great job with emergency management. Sounds like he knows who to tap for expertise.

I usually at least find something to disagree with him when he speaks. But I haven't found anything to disagree with him today. Everything he talked about makes a lot of sense.

After 3 years of the big word-usin' bunghole, it doesn't take much to impress me. I just want someone to tell the truth in an understandable way.
