We’re going to clear waterways and secure boats and ships so we can start the economic engine again. I want to make sure we take care of our workers, including first responders, families, and small businesses affected by this. And I’m definitely going to rebuild the key bridge. I’m not going to dig into this because I don’t have time for stupid things.”

Making sure our first responders get the support they need. , to ensure that these channels can be opened, and to ensure that this key bridge can be rebuilt.
