While Media Balk, Gov. Abbott Gives Trump, FEMA A+ For Federal Response to Hurricane Harvey

"This is the quickest turnaround I've ever seen from the time a governor made a disaster declaration to getting that granted."

While the mainstream media attempt to spin President Trump's response to Hurricane Harvey as nothing short of disastrous or at least, incompetent, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has praised the administration's swift and effective response. 

In an interview with Fox News the governor disccused how Trump declared the hurricane a major disaster before the storm even arrived in order to ensure that the disaster response was already in place: 

President Trump's response to the crisis has been "extremely professional, very helpful," the governor assured, adding that the two spoke on the phone several times.

"He called and said, 'Governor, whatever you need, you've got.'"

Abbott said the state has teams working to save lives in the flooded Houston area and has also sent search and rescue missions to the Rockport and Corpus Christi area where the hurricane hit hardest.

"This is the quickest turnaround I've ever seen from the time a governor made a disaster declaration to getting that granted," Abbott stated.

The president's speedy response "triggered all the resources of FEMA to help Texas," which has made a huge difference, the governor explained.

"I give FEMA a grade of A+ all the way from the president down," Abbott stated. "We've never been more prepared for a storm for a storm than we had been this time."

Amen. Meanwhile, members of the media are doing all they can do spin Trump's response as: too fast, too slow, too strong, too weak, too driven by ulterior-motive, not focused enough on climate change, etc.
