Trump: If a certain state, as an example, gets hit by a hurricane or tornado … the governor should be able to handle it. And frankly, if they can’t handle the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn’t be governor,” Trump said Tuesday.
So, Abbott shouldn’t be governor of Texas since he had FEMA step in - according to Trump. |
The guy has dementia, probably can't remember which states are run by Democrats or Republicans anymore. |
On this, I agree. |
Meanwhile, as dozens of people are dying in a great state that Trump won three times, Trump spent the weekend golfing at his resort. Sad! |
I agree with Trump. Governors know far more about their state than some random FEMA employee. FEMA should provide the funds and let the states handle it. |
Abbott is an idiot. Can’t even direct help for his own state.
Yeah, FEMA is being dismantled by Trump but called in to help the other idiot. We got dumb and dumber here. Thoughts and prayers for all those little girls. What a jacka$$ they both are. But of course, the stupid Texas residents will not vote him out. Oh well …… more dead coming. It’s not over yet. |
Nonsense. Texas under Abbott has done poorly on disaster response. The winter cold snap, for example. Or Uvalde. The state's response has historically been fragmented, disorganized, with poor interagency communication and coordination,, and in typical Republican fashion underfunded, political and full of deflection and pointing of fingers at others rather than just helping people. |
Abbott deserves to be gutted by Trump and Texas got what they voted for. |
They'll somehow find a way to blame the DNC. |
Abbott did a goof job of sending illegals to New York and Massachusetts so they could see the problem.
He also exposed Biden and the Democrats by putting up border fencing and everyone saw the Democrats tear it down. |
“It’s okay to interfere with federal agents at the border, as long as it validates my super special snowflake feelings.” |
I am out of empathy and compassion for anyone who voted for this. I don't wish them death but really am unbothered by their pain and refusal to acknowledge climate change. They voted for this. 🤷🏼♀️ |
Right? Kindergarten politics. |
Good grief, OP. You have a very immature understanding of news as it relates to politics. The statement Trump made was in regard to having governors, like Abbott, lead disaster response and having the federal government send the funds that have been used by FEMA directly to the states. Since FEMA is still in place (totally revamping the way funding will happen WRT FEMA will take time), FEMA is currently the responding agency. If you didn't know all this, you are seriously uninformed. If you DID know this, and yet still created this dumb thread, you are pretty much a troll. |
It was a goof job and cost the state of Texas millions of dollars. $1 million would have covered the cost of a flood warning system for Kerr County. I’d have to agree with Trump here (!). Abbott is not fit to govern Texas. And remember this comes after Harvey and the massive winter power outage that killed many more. |
