Trump denies request for disaster relief following Arkansas tornadoes

[Anonymous]

I guess I can see the point of this. Just because something is an unfortunate natural event doesn’t mean it’s a federal disaster. They need to draw the line somewhere. If there’s a hurricane in Florida that affects only a few people then I’d expect the state to handle it themselves too.

If this is a disaster that would, at any time in history prior to January 20th, 2025, merit federal assistance, then this is not a good development. Whether Arkansas is red or blue, whether this is a small disaster or large.

Trump has also halted FEMA assistance to North Carolina and Tennessee for the damage from the flooding last fall.

Well it should. I want my tax payer dollars to rebuild homes and schools for my fellow citizens. Not pay Doge

they don't need fed assistance when they have their own bootstraps to pull up. Now is their chance to depend on themselves.

No. This is not the new normal. It is a blip.

We are Americans, not a single tech bro and some fringe who wrote a wish list last year. I will call lots of senators, mine and others, and remind them of this.

All while fu(king around with the environment too. The felon’s latest AI fever dream will deplete our water further. I’m sure you won’t blame him the next time there’s a fire in an area without water. Who cares! People can build shantytowns. I’m sure there’s Trump Cardboard.

Other Floridians better hope Mara Lago gets hit, that way an emergency with federal funds will surely be provided.

Good thing Florida Governor DeSantis knows how to manage taxpayer money responsibly, and has a BUDGET SURPLUS.

Thank you, Governor DeSantis!

Are you stupid? (Yes.)

State are not the Federal government. They can't create debt at well.

States only have a budget deficit when tax revenues are lower than expected due to short turn emergencies.
