Disaster survivors in Arkansas left homeless by recent tornadoes have been blocked from receiving federal recovery aid after President Donald Trump rejected the state’s request to declare a major disaster in March.

Face the facts Arkansas that Trump only cares about money and power NOT you. I pray you’re able to watch your local news to confirm how many of you have been affected and that your state has the funds to help you.
Boy that is rough. Didn’t their governor work for Trump 1.0?
Yup.
IMAGINE THE ABSOLUTE EAR PUNCTURING SCREAMING THE REPUGNANTS WOULD BE DOING IF BIDEN DID THAT.
In fact they screamed about Biden withholding FEMA assistance even though it wasn't true.
Time for Sarah to get that long overdue makeover.
I hope the 759,241 people who voted for DonOLD are enjoying their camping experience because it will be going on for a while longer.
Again Trump lets the American people down in order to line the pockets of the wealthy. Worst president ever 🤮
Serves them right for voting for Trump
Western NC?
Not going to feel bad for people that voted for exactly this
Now they know what the voted for.....
Thoughts & prayers for states that voted for Trump. Elections have consequences and my sympathy for Americans is at zero.
*fake President. I hope Arkansas goes out & has a peaceful protest at their State Capitol.
Oh well, thoughts and prayers
Can you source this information? I went to the website and fb page on it and don't see this chart. I'd like to share it but not if I can't verify it
Trump has total disdain for his "average" voter. We tried to tell them this but 🤷
That's part of his DNA, while he feels the needs of the community it's when you are welcome. After he gains from the community what he needs then you are on your own. Business mogul 101.🤔🤡🎪
He really is the devil.
2/3 of AK voters fucked around, 3/3 are finding out.
AR is Arkansas. AK is Alaska :)
LOL whoops. Erudite me.
It’s all good, I still have to look up Montana so you aren’t alone
Trump showing Arkansas voters how much he appreciates their votes and support. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
They need to do a “thank you President trump for not giving us aid “ billboard.
Nice going Arkansas 👍 y’all voted for this !!
this is not the role of a true patriot who happens to hold the office of president-he is not a serious man-this is all entertainment for him & annoying-interferes with his golf game...
He will sing another tune if his home golf course gets hit by a hurricane. Why do people act surprised just because they voted for him. He is incapable of showing compassion.
That is purely monstrous and inhuman!!
Arkansas is enjoying the ride they chose. They FAFO. 🙌🏻 😂🤣😂
Except there are many of us who wouldn’t vote for him if it killed us also living in red states. Do we not deserve help? Should generally good people who made a (granted HUGE) bad decision not be allowed much needed help the rest of their lives? I hope I never have to be judged by my worst mistake.
Yeah, that's shitty and unfortunate. Looks like a great reason for campaigning against republiKlans.
Reminds me of elementary school, the teacher punished the whole class cuz a few were miss behaving. I said that wasn’t right, teacher said, then get your friends to stay quiet. That was in my red state home, I moved, you might try the same.
2/ They also aren’t as good as you make them out to be, cuz let’s face it they voted Trump due to their racism. Can’t be a good person and a racist.
No, you do not deserve help. (you voted for him right? between you and me, you admitted to it in your post) US is nothing but bigots and racists, money grabbers. While your 'media' and 'education' has been telling you otherwise, you having been Boiling FrogsGood on you for voting against yourself.
You clearly misread what I said. There’s no way in hell I would vote for that man.
I didn't misread what you said at all.Guessing you may have 'rocked up'or didn't vote at all?Guessing you are the type of person who sat around a bigotted conversation and didn't say/do anything?Now looking for reprieve? It's not happening. This kind of dictatorship takeover doesn't happen overnght
Your “guess” is wrong. Arguing and attacking people on the same side as you gets exactly zero progress made. I’m angry too, but not at people fighting the dystopia we currently live in. Take a breath.
You have been living in a Dystopian world for years. Apparently US people don't get it. While you have been thinking you are the best/greatest, you have been deluding yourselves. So No. My 'guess' is not wrong. You people brought this on yourselves
I have never been under the delusion that we are the best/greatest. We are sorely lacking in many, many areas. That being said, we are not all the enemy. Nearly half of us, myself included, voted for Harris. Stop making assumptions about people you don’t know. I’m done conversing with you.
Sadly, the majority in your state as the rest of red states prevailed, sorry for you particular situation but it’s more terrible if that happens to residents in a blue-state, that as a social group tried to stop this from happening, your social group didn’t.
The lack of empathy for liberals fighting the good fight within red states is astonishing to me.
Are you going to pay more txes, yes. Do you have the worst education and healthcare system in all of the developed world, yes The list goes on....
The rest of the World is not on the "same side" as you. Dystopian US, yes. Were you complacent, yes. Were you boiled like a frog (look it up), yes. Do you pay taxes upon taxes (tips), yes.
So I am going to go to bed now because I am tired of pointing out the obvious.
"There might be a little bit of pain for awhile."
He has no idea what it is like to lose so much.
The usual spate of hateful comments here. Let’s be fair, very few people - you, me, left, right - ever thinks they’ll personally get hit by a disaster. Go ask Oregonians about the Cascadia subduction zone. Go ask Seattleites about Mt Rainier erupting. Go ask residents of NY about another hurricane.
It's not that people don't think they'll get hit by a disaster, it's that they won't be the ones hurt by Trump's well known disregard for people in trouble. But I agree we need to have sympathy for everyone and point out that's it's not too late to realize you were lied to and take action
FAFO. Hope they learned something.
sucks, don't it?
It's not that the administration doesn't care about Arkansas: it's that they don't care about anyone other than themselves. Now, the red state knows that they aren't an exception. It's cruel. That's the point. It won't hurt the governor though and that's a shame.
I wonder how many of them voted for him or, worse yet, sat home and didn't vote at all.
Thanks Trump, your such a humanitarian aren’t you.
I am always stunned by Trump's cruelty. These people are his voting base & in need of aid. I am sure Arkansas, Missouri & Mississippi would don't be asking for aid if their states could manage it w/in the state.
Hey Arkansas voters who chose Trump, this is the FO part of FAFO for you.
Empathy left the 🇺🇸 when the Trump-regime came in. 🤔
Arkansas...and they'd probably vote for him again.
Awww, poor Sarah. All that ass kissing for years and years and not a cent for her state.
Be careful who you vote for........
I well, at least they don’t have to share their bathrooms with trans people so at least they have that for going for them. Buck up little campers
They get what they voted for.
Arkansas Governor Sanders is not a happy camper. Guess loyalty goes one way in trump world.
She should not be surprised…
Always has: “Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will "protect your job." …analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades — …who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them” www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Sarah Huckabee and her dad kissed the ring and campaigned for the OT, now they have to kiss his butt. And Sarah, remember to remain HUMBLE WHEN YOU BEG.
🤣🤣that’s right
I wish i could say I'm surprised by this.
Buy cruelty is his goal. Plain demonic cruelty.
But*
In 2024 well over 700,000 Arkansas voters said they wanted this. I'm sorry for their loss. 😠
Tots and pears.
DEI = Disaster Endures Indefinitely
he said he would cut federal funding and FEMA… and they still voted for him 🤷♀️ How is that working out for you?
Maybe they thought he’d only let liberals in Blue states suffer.
Exactly, it is acceptable for someone else to bleed out
But didn’t they vote for this?
Oh well....you got what you voted for. Are you happy now????
13,000 voted for Kennedy. I guess they missed the part about him stepping down.
That’s 400,000 people plus non voters who didn’t. And none of them deserve this.
All those kids and babies too. Bet they voted double for him!
No one deserves it. But Trump just seems to thrive on nothing else but other peoples misfortune. I honestly don't think he has the ability to be happy on the behalf of others. Or show empathy.
You’re right but you still implied they deserve it. That’s what simply saying who they voted for is. It implies they’re deserving of it.
Not deserving. But Trump gone trumping really shouldn’t surprise anyone anymore.
Even if I’m a bit surprised he actually tool this route in a state where the presidential vote was that clear cut GOP.
No one deserves it, but non voters made a choice by not stepping up, & now all are going to suffer. The question is, will this impact their future behavior?
There are many who did not. Please remember that.
Yup! FAFO!🤷🏽♀️
They voted HEAVY for Trump… anywho.
This is monstrous. Even in heavily red areas that supported Trump, now that he’s in power and no longer needs those voters (since he’s planning to stay in office for life), he’s just going to treat them like trash. It’s just a shame more people didn’t realize it before the election. 😞
did you ever notice when disasters strike blue areas the Christian Nationalists are like “act of God for your sins. You get what you deserve.” Where are they now?
Great guy that Trump. Not. Smh.
Well they voted for him. Bet they wish Harris was in the WH now.
Well, he did say in the campaign that he would end FEMA and that state went red. So, pot straps for the win
That’s perfect. Arkansas overwhelmly voted for Trump. They are getting what they voted for.
Very bad!
Welp, you get what you voted for.
Hmmm…FAFO?
More winning. 🏆
Arkansas… hmmm
These are people that voted for him, and he is going to ignore their plea for help??? He really is a jerk😡😡😡🤬
Not loyal enough
Wonder who they voted for? Arkansas hmmm? I'm that governor Huckabee Sanders can pull some strings. Just kidding.
gofund.me/e52a392a
Trump denies aid to citizens and communities so he can give tax cuts to his donors .. report the facts ..
The christofascist magamorons voted for it. Sorry, not sorry! 🤷🏻♂️🙄
We told you so! and you still voted for him.
Take note Arkansas the Republicans don’t give a shit about you
You GOT what You VOTED for You Stupid FUCKS🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who did they vote for again?
Reminder: in the 2024 US presidential election, Arkansas voted 64.2 percent for Donald Trump vs 33.6 percent for Kamala Harris. Arkansas won. Arkansas needs to get over it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/electio... bsky.app/profile/cnn....
MAGAs will suffer
Hundreds of thousands of non MAGAs will suffer too. That’s not conscientious my dude, that’s callous.
C’mon Sarah — suck it up — it’s nothing your state-level can’t handle!! How’s it feel to be on THAT end of your King/Mentor Donald J Trump⁉️⁉️
Whaat?!?!? Trump won’t reject anything Sarah Huckabee Sanders requests‼️‼️
These folks need help desperately. If you’ve ever been through a disaster like a tornado, hurricane, fires or flood it’s heartbreaking. Unbelievable ! Republicans !
Not the border…. The presidency
Literally not a pot to pi** in. Sanders is their governor let her explain the”You knew I was a snake” poem🫡👉🏻 youtu.be/qSrOXvoNLwg?...
Did the governor of Arkansas piss him off? 🎶 I never thought…a leopard would eat my face… #wetriedtotellya
He only wanted their votes
This is the unfortunate consequence of voting with hate and fear, of thinking you are above others. When you vote to punish, we all suffer.
If you’re one of the people replying about who they voted for and implying they deserve this, fuck right off into the sun.
Ups government is losing more adepts, so enjoy your vote !
WOW. Not just California. Deep deep state changes.
A bunch of folks in these comments happy about folks getting screwed. Y'all should be ashamed. There are a ton of people in the state who didn't vote for Trump and you're ignoring them, while dunking on the ones who "deserve it." Solidarity is required to beat fascism. Fix your hearts or die.
My response applies to every state no matter who voted however. He is a snake, a liar, a grifter, an so are the people around him. Point is… there will be NO HELP from his administration for ANY disasters, anywhere- except Mara NO GO. Arkansas voted their majority to find out the hard way. Karma
PS my hearts good thank you very much.
It's called schadenfreude and there can be no unity without accountability. If the US had properly dealt with these "Southern Bourbons" in 1865, I daresay this wouldn't be a conversation we are having in 2025. But this is what happens when a cancer is only impotently treated and not cut out.
Welcome to Phase 2: Finding out.
"We only pay disaster benefits to rich white people that deserve it by voting for Trump," a GOP spokesmodel said. "Frankly, we should just declare Trump Emperor and get rid of all this delusion about democracy."
just pathetic. This is what non-governance looks like i guess. i certainly cannot recall such a denial in my lifetime.
Well look at that! ‘owning the libs’ can have unintended consequences
Used Abused And screwed . Except you hoped Trump would only hurt brown people . FAFO
And who is the governor there? Oh right, Huckabee.. 😬good luck people
How many ways can this dude literally show Americans he doesn’t care?! But then MAGA be all like stop whining, snowflakes. It’s all the have. That an a really foul and stupid angry orange god.
Regardless of your politics, this is simply unconscionable. What a disgrace this man and this administration are.
Unconscionable, sure. Predictable as well. I'm not gonna say I told you so to these nitwits, but I sure do revel in the schadenfreude...
FAFO
Isn't that why Governor Huckster passed the law to let 12 years old work? Those folks need to pull themselves up by those christofascist bootstraps, no handouts remember Governor?
Sad sad state of affairs ☠️. If Trump keeps on his destructive mode it won’t be long before the US is considered a Third World country💀
You’re not even in American disaster season yet are you?
2025 American disaster season started on January 20.
They've served their purpose. Next...
Remember when he blamed Biden for FEMA not doing enough? How about CNN and others call Trump out on that? FFS
Or maybe contrast with the billions in tax incentives that any Musk company receives
What has happened to us? In the last year, the 19 wealthiest families in America have increased their personal wealth by $1 Trillion dollars. Meanwhile, in West Virginia, thousands have been all but abandoned following disastrous flooding in February. westvirginiawatch.com/2025/04/23/m...
I guess Arkansas voting for Trump by a 30% margin last year doesn't mean anything to Trump. To right-headed people, this is no surprise. Trump is a user, in every sense of the word.
#zerofucksgiven 😂🖕🏾
Rat bastard!
This is “small government” in practice.
Sad thing is, if there was another election held next year, the majority of Arkansans would probably vote Trump again.
I am not a fan of all the gloating in the replies. Even if you’re determined to not feel any empathy for Trump voters, hundreds of thousands of Arkansans aren’t Trump supporters. I’m sure they’re not amused with the laughter.
Is this the famous "when they go low, we go high" route that has proven to be so ineffectual by Democrats too sniveling and whiny about "norms" to fight fire with fire? Yeah, sucks for Arkansans but some people ONLY learn the hard way. #WelcomeToTheHardWay
But you aren’t fighting fire with fire, you’re just laughing at people who may have lost everything, I’m sure including many people who would never have anything to do with MAGA.
6 million fewer Democrats voted for the Democratic candidate in 2024 than they did in 2020. That 6 million could have turned the tide. I did my part and voted for the Democrat despite not being a Democrat and thoroughly disgusted with the two right wing parties. So, yeah, fuck them. No sympathy.
Sucks to suck. At least they’re getting what they voted for
Trump is just thinking that the people need to be self-reliant. Do they not have bootstraps? 😏
Awwww too bad!!!
Well, that's what they voted for...
Who is they?
Arkansas - sorry for you contact your representatives in congress and in the Senate to let them know that what President Trump is doing to you and your families. Trump is a terrible president hope you are noticing…..
Cruelty is the Point, just because he can. I’m sure he is trying to extort them for something.
Thanks a lot trump! Who voted for him??
Thoughts and prayers
Ho mon dieu !! Je sympathise avec vous ! Bonne chance !
I don't want to wish harm to D.C., but if the rapture happens, the White House is a target. How DARE Trump deny these families the funds needed to rebuild after a national disaster!
Trunk ain’t gettin’ sucked off in any Rapture. He’s very obviously the Antichrist.
I'd sent Sony's Venom to do his thing like the Queen of Hearts.
I bet they’ll vote for him again, given the chance.
✔️
That reality is baked in
Someone who I blocked told me to fuck myself for saying this. Baxter county - which was affected by the tornadoes - voter 75% for Trump. I feel bad a natural disaster happened to people, but if Trump fucks over Trump voters, I will happily point it out and say they brought it onto themselves.
Hate to say it, but this is exactly what 64% of Arkansas voters asked for. If they didn’t expect this they weren’t paying attention. Trump will screw anyone. He does not care about you. Sociopaths DO NOT CARE. But it’s rather fun to watch that OG Trump sycophant Huckabee Sanders beg isn’t it?
Who is they?
Hard to muster any sympathy for Arkansas...
WTAF!
Lying Sarah gets thrown under the bus. (Rolled?)
Isn’t that special!!! One of the reddest states denied. FAFO
Always ask them who they voted for. Zero sympathy for Trump supporters.
God bless Mother Nature🤭💕
As a fellow American this breaks my heart. I wish we were better at talking care of each other.
HIGH BILLONNAIRES can make A FUND FOR THAT !!
"He beats me because he loves me"
It's disheartening to see survivors facing even more hardships when they need support the most. Recovery should be the priority, and it’s crucial for leaders to step up and ensure aid flows to those in need, especially after such devastating events.
Woman who voted for Face Eating Leopards party sobs "the leopards would never eat MY face, would they?" And the leopards grow fatter.
She , The governor of Arkansas, didn't just vote, she worked as an advisor during Trump's first term and was his press secretary for 2 years. And he still doesn't care
Oh well....
This is what those red states voted for.
Gosh. I sure hope they aren't all MAGAts...
Thats some FAFO for those in Arkansas. Welp, good luck.
Opps
Red State power.
“Citizens Get What They Voted For In Arkansas” isn’t really breaking news. I feel sorry for the blue dots who knew they were going to get hung out to dry, but it’s hard to find sympathy for the people who ended up with snake oil after voting for the snake-oil-salesman.
I'd rather this than the Feds only helping people who Trump likes. Either everyone gets help or no one. Trump voters chose no one. 🤷♂️
@cnn Might want to tell your guy Scott Jennings
They mostly voted for this for 10 years. Boo hoo
