Look, if there had been a second pilot rescued during a valiant attempt on Easter, no less, then don't you think Trump would be parading that person around like the Door Dash Grannie so that he could get his proper praise?

No name, no story, no interviews, no family, nothing...

It's almost like another ear grew back.
