Trump weigerte sich, Waldbrandhilfe zu genehmigen, bis er erfuhr, dass die betroffenen Gebiete MAGA waren: Bericht

“We went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas … to show him these are people who voted for you,” Harvey recalled. His account was backed up by former Trump White House Homeland Security Adviser Olivia Troy.

Not hyperbole at all, Trump is a fucking psychopath.

> the former president only approved the aid after being shown data proving that the affected counties contained a sufficient amount of his supporters. …..“We went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas to show him these are people who voted for you,”

Pure Evil

I hope one day our lawmakers patch up all the holes of corruption and divisiveness this man poked in our democracy so that it can’t happen again. 

Oh look, yet another disqualifying factor for this orange shitgibbon.

This was when he still had his faculties “together” too.

Not so much these days.

More than once during his term Trump did similar things, withholding needed aid or funding or something until the governor of the state in need sucked up to him and spoke nicely of him, especially if it’s a state with a governor that had ever criticized him. Just look at his response to Covid, especially in the early days of the pandemic. As it was mostly affecting blue states at the time Trump didn’t do a damn thing.

That’s one of the biggest differences between Trump and Biden, Biden hasn’t hesitated to send assistance to whatever state needed it after a natural disaster or something even when the governor of the state is one that has criticized or even openly bad mouthed him while Trump would withhold assistance the people of a state needed until the governor sucked up to him.

Make sure you’re REGISTERED and VOTE. Not long left to go.

yep, trump’s a piece of shit. he does this ALL the time. he’s always playing politics with government agencies and general government function.

There is no other word for this than EVIL.

This is not politics, this is not factionalism, this is not normal, this is PURE EVIL.

Why is anyone surprised? He was actively tried to kill democrats during COVID by withholding aid to cities.

This is part of the reason (including his stance on LGBTQ+ issues) why I started saying, for the first time ever, that Trump was, in a very real way, not my President. He clearly believed that he was only President for certain Americans; those that support him.

As someone close to him said once, “every relationship with him is transactional.”

And if you listen, this is a popular talking point on the right that Biden has been refusing aid. Projection is the only move they know….

Just remember, if you’re a Republican who lives in a blue area. Trump won’t help you in a disaster.

Total fucking scumbag.
