At Jefferson Ave Church of Christ, we met with first responders who ran toward the danger and pulled Tennesseans to safety. @realDonaldTrump also met with survivors and told the group, “We are with you all the way.” pic.twitter.com/MPAMue6EGs— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@MarshaBlackburn) March 6, 2020
That is so childish. (Biden campaign)
My Administration is with you all of the way, Tennessee. We love you! https://t.co/YYLfZuPWyK— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 6, 2020
This just goes to show that many of the dems are insane. They must be voted out of office for the good of the country.

Justice is slow, but this is good news anyway.
When dims say that Trump is dangerous to our security it is just one big PROJECTION.
When are the people in “Sanctuary” cities going to turn on the ones who really wish them harm?

Nashville tornado: President Trump tours damaged areas after tornadoes kill 25
17 second video of Trump supporters flying a helicopter yesterday in a red, white and blue color scheme, with TRUMP lettering for all to see, high above the Bernie Sanders rally being held at the Veteran’s Coliseum in Phoenix. AZ.
17 = Q.
What a "coincidence".
Very soon I hope.

Motorcade arrived 11.25 at scene of devastation in rural Tennessee outside Cookeville. Pic attached. We are beside flattened house. POTUS is getting guided tour.
Groups of well-wishers appeared along the first part of the route through Cookeville. “God bless you Mr President,” read one sign. Some red MAGA hats were in evidence along with several blue Trump 2020 flags.
The final stretch brought us past boarded up windows and downed trees.
I have a lot of family in Crossville TN. Luckily they were not in the path of the tornado. Cooksville was to close for comfort for many in family.

Note coronavirus line at end.
Trump surveyed a landscape of shredded roofs, splintered trees and crushed cars.
He was joined by the governor and first lady of Tennessee.
His guide was a local emergency worker Mike Herrick.
He praised local officials including governor Mike Lee and the work of FEMA.
“This is real devastation... Hope we never see again,” he said.
“You see what happened. We saw it from the helicopter very well.”
Tennessee governor Bill Lee thanked him for support and speedy action
“It’s been a tragic, painful week for our state,” he said
“God has used volunteers to bring hope to the state.”
POTUS: “Great people, great state.”
He asked how many lives were lost and Lee told him 25 and thousands lost their homes.
“We’re going to see some of the people who really survived,” he said.
“Obviously anyone in these homes was killed, he said pointing to flattened buildings
“Very little warning.”
“We love ‘em, they are special people,” he said of local people
“Already they are rebuilding.”
“Flying over you already see the blue roofs going up.”
“They didn’t know what happened. They were watching television and then ...”
On helping airlines and other industries on Coronavirus:
“We’re looking at different options.”
He told story of boy ripped from his house and found in street outside.
“He said ‘I was just flying ... I was carried by the air away from him house.’ His parents were killed “

After speaking to pool, POTUS met about 30 survivors from the flattened homes outside Cookeville, TN.
All around broken lumber and splintered dry walls lie in piles resembling bonfires. Jagged tree skeletons are the only things rising higher than a storey.
POTUS won brief round of applause from crowd clustered around him at one point. He shook hands with some people and patted others in shoulder.
Pool ushered away after 30 minutes.

Trump met survivors at the Church Of Christ Cookeville in a hall filled with boxes of emergency supplies, pallets of water, tables filled with clothes and wheelbarrows leaning against the wall.
“We have done everything we need to do and our hearts go out to you,” POTUS told the crowd of about 100 people.
“We are with you all the way.
“When you have those who lost somebody that’s a very tough situation ... We are with you all the way.”
POTUS posed for pictures and shook hands with people before speaking to emergency responders.
“Whatever you need we are doing,” he told them. “You people have done incredible jobs.
“Nobody’s seen what you had to go through.”
Governor Bill Lee then led a small group in prayer.
POTUS praised the work of first responders.
“These people are incredible,” he said.
“It’s inspiring to see the way it all came together. Even all of the goods and supplies ... Tremendous amounts of food ... It all came in and matter of hours.
“It’s a case study of what should be done and how it can be done.
“It’s Tennessee.
“It is indeed the volunteer state.”
He posed for a group photo with emergency workers.
