        He only waived it because he was starting to get some bad press. Don’t be fooled.

        The “best” for Americans would be to do whatever is necessary - including Jones Act. He waited DAYS while people suffered! Where’s the good?

        If it doesn’t help then why did he waive it after bad press - which is my point? It does help, otherwise it wouldn’t be an issue.

        Well like you said, do whatever is necessary, so he removed the Act to help. No one was suffering because it was in place.
