President Tweets Out to Texarkana

President Donald Trump mentioned Texarkana in a tweet on July 29.  The President spoke of several grants and economic improvements being presented around the country.   This may be the first time a sitting President of the United States has ever mentioned Texarkana, Arkansas in an official tweet on social media.

In the "Texarkana Tweet," the President specifically discussed the grant for the Texarkana Regional Airport.  There are currently six grants being presented by the government to Arkansas for airport work.  The Texarkana grant will provide 3.6 million to reconstruct the terminal area.

As of this morning, the tweet had over 10,000 retweets or shares as it is sometimes called, and over 43, 0000 "Likes."  Several people on social media had shared the tweet and discussed it in the area.  Naturally, friends and supporters of the President expressed excitement at being recognized by the President's private Twitter account. 

President Donald Trump specifically noted that he was "glad to help the people of Arkansas."  Well, Mr. President, if you happen to stumble across our little article, our airport affects people from  Texarkana, Texas, and Arkansas, and people from Southeast Oklahoma and Northwest Louisiana.  We appreciate the grant.  We appreciate the shout out on Twitter.  However, most importantly, we appreciate all you are doing to Keep America Great.  Thank you, and God Bless you from your friends and supporters in Texarkana, USA.
