First, Trump is transactional, and he undoubtedly believes that because he helped Sanders be elected governor, he doesn't need to do anything else for her. Second, the states that tend to get pounded by severe weather tend to be poor. Trump says the states should handle their own disaster aid, but how do poor states do this? I guess they should have voted "Democrat."

It's kind of shocking when the President of the United States flatly says "I want to only help the states that voted for me.

But he isn't doing that, and case in point is Arkansas. Sarah Huckabee Sanders can't get disaster relief from Trump, and she's the poster child for Trump MAGA loyalists.

I hope that Trump voters like the change they've voted for.

"Again, the sobs we would hear from the Right if any politician on the Left said anything like that. Their self-esteem is very delicate, you know."

I'm old enough to remember the tantrums when Tim Walz called the weirdos weird.

IF KAMALA HARRIS WERE PRESIDENT, YOUR STATE WOULD HAVE DISASTER AID

Hurricane season starts in 9 days. Since hurricanes mostly hit red states, this should be an interesting season. With the gutting of FEMA, NOAA and the weather service there will be more deaths and deviation than in previous years. And the gutting of the EPA will just add to the amount of superstorms every year. Let’s see how he twists himself into a multi knotted pretzel to blame Biden. Because everyone knows he will.

Clearly he's too busy with important things like keeping up with the latest rw conspiracy videos. Plus it's not like disaster aid will keep it from happening again.

I have been wishing a mighty one of these on Al Lago. Wouldn’t it it be cool if one hit the WH at the same time?! Tornadoes karma?!!

In addition to all the Fema mismanagement it has recently come to light that President Biden was old.

This action (or these actions) by Trump are unforgivable, though I can't help thinking before Sarah was governor she'd be right beside him cheering him on. What did they say about W, "The cruelty is the point?" Trump puts W in the shade.

To My Fellow Americans of the R Persuasion,

Two quick things.

1. Those storms of increasing intensity and quantity aren't hoaxes.

b. Only Democrats can deal with shit like this without fucking it up even more.
