Trump Announces That the USCG Will Commission a New ‘Fast Response Cutter’ in Memory of FDNY Firefighter Jeffrey Palazzo

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Today, I’m proud to announce that this weekend in New York, the Coast Guard will commission a brand new, beautiful — I bought it myself, I negotiated the price, it was very expensive, I didn’t want to negotiate too hard in honor of him — but brand new Coast Guard will — they’re going to commission a beautiful brand new fast — it’s called fast response cutter, the most incredible kind of ship you’ll ever see. It can go through anything. They go out into waves that are five times bigger than it and they come back. I don’t know how they do it, but they come back. But this is the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Jeffrey Palazzo. So we honor him with this very important tribute to me. Very important. (Cheering and Applause) Where is the family? The family, the Palazzo family is here. Thank you. Thank you very much. Incredible.”
