A lot of people don’t live in the real world and see themselves as greedy actors like they should. Most people are when you get down to brass tacks. I’m 35 and can count on one hand the number of truly saintly people that I’ve met who would give everything almost to save a stranger. Politicians are people and they are calculating, I’m good he did it whether or not it was altruistic or political survival and I hope he does more of it. I know that Trump and most republicans never would have done this.

because trump was in office and didn't do it? I get why say george w bush didn't do it, but trump was in office when public opinion had already changed enough.
