“Thank you to the United States Coast Guard for doing such an incredible job of rescue, and other work, having to do with the crash of the two ships in Louisiana. Likewise, all of Law Enforcement and First Responders were fantastic...” - President Donald J. Trump

Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a crisis to not let go to waste.

Thank the Lord.
