Pennsylvania Congressman voices support of President Trump's agenda, with a few exceptions
(WHTM) — With the departure of Senator Bob Casey, Republican Glenn 'GT' Thompson (R) is now the dean of Pennsylvania's Congressional Delegation. He met the PA Press Club in Harrisburg today and while he's mostly supportive of President Donald Trump's agenda, there are a few areas that give him pause.

Farmers are often most harmed by tariffs but that's not deterring President Trump. 'I'm always concerned of tariffs, that's for sure,' said Thompson. Thompson agrees with Trump that there are unfair trade imbalances, and hopes the President's tariffs are short-lived. 'You can address trade discrepancies using soft diplomacy,' said Thompson. 'Everybody always does and nobody ever makes progress.' U.S. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy is opposed to vaccines for chickens to combat avian flu. 'Well, I'm surprised Secretary Kennedy is interested in eating sick chickens,' said Thompson. 'I'm not. I like my food to be healthy. We use vaccines. We've always used vaccines to overcome various pieces, you know, various diseases.' Thompson says he doesn't support the complete elimination of the U.S. Department of Education and says it likely won't happen. He's also against Medicaid cuts, as his Democratic colleagues allege some Republicans are efforting. 'It's all a complete lie,' said Thompson. 'It's all political. Unfortunately, it's politics. You know, it's it's legal. You can legally slander and lie in politics. But that's okay. That's the way it is.' Lots of Thompson's constituents are alarmed at President Trump's first two months. His advice to them? 'Well, take a deep breath,' said Thompson. 'I'd tell people to take a deep breath, maybe 48 hours. Take a deep breath, I think some people confuse the rate of change, the speed of things being implemented with chaos, and it's not, it had eight years of preparation.' Thompson said he's hopeful a comprehensive farm bill, now a couple of years late, will finally be completed in the next few months. As AG chair, it comes through his committee.
