A bait and tackle store owner from Florida gave an impassioned speech about President Trump on Friday during an environmental event at the White House.
Bruce Hrobak was brought up to say a few words and immediately began heaping praise on the president for policies aimed at helping the environment. Hrobak discussed how different ecological problems previously caused harm to his business and how Trump’s policies have helped.
“Thank you for everything you’re doing, sir. I speak for so many people. You bring my heart to warmth for everything you’re doing all the way around. Sir … My nephew. Thank you all. My nephew, Kenny Hrobak, is like my son. He is in South Korea right now in the Army, and he’s doing things, and he is so proud of you and those boys, they all just — I’ve never seen people that are so proud of our president. I’m amazed,” Hrobak stated.
“We stayed up to watch you that day you got elected. We were like, he’s got it. He’s got it. I’m sorry, I’m telling the truth! Listen, my dad taught me. My dad taught me don’t tell no lies and when you want me to shut up, I will,” he continued. “But I’m telling the truth. Dad would always say — he looked like Donald Trump a little bit but you are much handsomer. Thank you, thank you so much. I want to say one final thing.”
