My dear friend and president, DJT,
How did your meeting with MTB go? Fox Business says it was, "productive and valuable." That's good to hear.
It looks like Dorian has not been as bad as it could have been. The worst effects seem to be from the tornados that touched down on Emerald Island and some of the other barrier islands. My husband, the geologist, learned from his professor, Orrin Pilkey, those islands are "doomed" by rising sea level. Dr. Pilkey says if he was king of VA, no one would be able to build on the beach. So far he's not winning the argument.
Speaking of winning arguments, I recommend that you stop trying to convince people that you were correct when you said Dorian might hit Alabama. Just let that one go! Maybe, Birmingham was in danger at one point, but it's not any more. That's good news. No need to get defensive.
Thanks for calling Bahama PM, Dr. Hubert Minnis, to offer support and encouragement. He's really eager to get kids back in school. It sounds like the USS Bataan and USNS Comfort are ready to go help out, they just need the go ahead. Please talk to your people and expedite that! It sounds like the folks on Abaco could use some fresh water and food ASAP and those vessels are equipped to purify up to 200,000 gallons of water each day and provide all kinds of services. It's time to call Mark Esper to get those boats where they can do some good.
Best,
RCA
