Everyone is raving about the relief efforts being undertaken for Hurricane Harvey. This monster storm is setting records in total rainfall and destruction both. So also setting records is the response and rescue efforts. These have been on the local, state , and federal levels.
US Coast Guard, and US Navy helicopters have been rescuing people at a pace never seen before. I haven’t heard what the Trump bashers have been saying on this, but they’d be wise to keep quiet. They can only show themselves as the boys who cried wolf, and make further fools of themselves.
This is yet another feather in the president’s “Make America Great Again” cap after his successes in forcing North Korea to back down about attacking Guam, and getting his Muslim countries ban approved by the Supreme Court. Also, having illegal immigration plummet to lowest levels in many years, and registering a 3% GDP gain (best in the past 3 years), for the 2nd quarter of 2017, among other US advances.

And the scale of the operation is much larger than most realize. The Coast Guard, for example, is sending personnel in from as far away as Miami.
