Speaking as a firefighter, I found Trump's suggestion that they should "act fast" to be pretty disrespectful.

Do you like to take your time when you put out fires?

I once had a neighbor whose house burned. From the outside it definitely looked like the fire crews were taking their time arriving, setting up camp, preparing, aiming, etc. But maybe acting intelligently isn't always the same as acting quickly.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

Now by the transitive property, slow is fast. That doesn't sound right, Hoss.

No, and that's the point. How would you feel if I publicly told you to do some basic function of your job?

If the POTUS tweeted at me, "Code like the wind! Very important!", I'd be excited.
