Sully Sullenberger doesn't appear to be a trump fan.
This Crisis Demands Effective National Leadership. We Must Fill the Void.In my 53 years of flying, I learned not only the kind of leadership that is necessary in a crisis, but that leadership is what makes the difference between success and failure, life and death.
In aviation, we plan and anticipate, working hard never to be surprised by anything. Every takeoff in an airliner is planned so that if an engine were to fail at the worst possible moment, we would still be able to stop on the remaining runway, or alternatively, continue the climb safely. We prepare for the worst in every way. The same must be true in our public lives and in our nation’s government.
An airline captain is the pilot in command and is ultimately responsible for every aspect of the flight, for everyone, and for everything that happens on that flight. From my father, a Naval officer in World War II, I learned about the awesome responsibilities of command, that a commander, a leader, must take responsibility for and ultimately is responsible for every aspect of the welfare of those in his or her care. In other words, with great authority comes great responsibility.

We will ultimately get through this crisis, whether it takes many months or years. When we do, it will be because even in a national leadership vacuum, some in Congress, state and local leaders, and ordinary people rose to the challenge and worked together, sharing sacrifice and inconvenience, and supporting those suffering terrible loss, not just because we are Americans, but because we are human.

Thank you, Sully. You are a hero and a leader..
Thanks, catbyte.
talk and get to know each other--perhaps to share common views?... 
SO, there's that delightful piece of info ...
and then he just walked away. it was days away from Obama's inauguration. He got a invitation - those were the days of wine and roses my friend 
"I like pilots that know how to land on runways." 
The way he expressed his thoughts regarding this situation is just perfect. I especially love the last paragraph:

To tell the whole world how much of a Glorious Leader and Commander he is in the worst war ever the world have ever seen. To tell people how smart and bigly he is and was to take bold aggressive actions that did absolutely nothing at all to help anyone. To boast about his fantasy world of actually working behind the scenes to get testing, PPE, equipment, space, etc. etc. to everywhere in the country immediately, even though he has been playing circle jerk with republicans about how much of a killing he can make off of this. To actually speak gibberish, because he really doesn't have a clue about what he is talking about, but thinks he sounds important. And finally to brag about how he has been the absolute best President of all time and the country should seriously consider making him a permanent President, since nobody has or can do better.
