President Trump says he plans to start “phasing out” FEMA after the hurricane season, and that he also plans to distribute disaster relief funds directly from the president’s office.

#GOPCorruptionOverCountry #MostCorruptPresidentEver
In other words- states will need to bend the knee and kiss the ring in order to stand any chance of receiving disaster relief.
This is UNACCEPTABLE and inhumane. Political favorites will receive $ We are in a banana republic
He wants Governors to grovel for breadcrumbs. And the GOP are just dandy with it. Thinking Daddy will take care of their states. They are in for a big surprise.
He wants a kick back. 15 percent for the fat guy.
Yep, Ask Sarah Fuckabee Sanders how well that worked out for Arkansas.
Just another pay-to-play game; only with people’s lives suffering a natural disaster.
He won’t give aid to Democratic states.
🤣🤣🤣🤣...Trump will POCKET Disaster Relief Funds NOT "Distribute" them!... This is this Con's M.O.! 😡
No. This is not a good idea.
Republican thieves stealing wealth by abusing political power
This is some F’d up 💩
So you have to kiss his ass to get assistance?
Newsome better hold on to Californias money then because you know next disaster they won’t be getting any of “Trumps money”
You get paper towels! *toss* And you! *toss* And you, and you, and you! *toss toss toss*
What Trump envisages when he says he'll distribute disaster relief from the president's office.
"who did you vote for? Not me? Fuck off with your whole 'home being whiped out by a hurricane'"
So what you should be saying is that disaster relief will soon be given out on a basis of who kisses his ass and who won’t.
Not according to Gov. Huckabee. She never faltered in her loyalty and still got denied.
So he’ll only give it to red states. Especially Florida.
But if DeSantis announces a run for president....he will withhold the funds until he withdraws.
He won’t run again
He would, if he were competent. So even Florida isn't gonna get shit most of the time.
It’s his home state
New York is his home state. And again, he won't be able to do much for Florida because of the blithering incompetence of him and his administration.
He’s deciding who gets what money. He’s a resident of Florida which makes it his home state.
He'll decide what he'll give them. Which won't be anything close to being enough, if it's even remotely what they need. Like the LA fires. He ordered water dumped from a reservoir that couldn't have possible flowed anywhere close to LA.
I’m well aware of all this, but he’ll cut off anywhere he doesn’t like and at least Florida is lucky enough he lives there.
He’s not gonna give money to all of Florida It’ll all go for damages to Mar-a-lago specifically
There are others there he’d probably give it to. Until something happens we won’t know.
Exactly.

I can't think of a better idea than replacing a nonpartisan federal agency for providing disaster relief with a system that relies on the requesting community being in the good graces of whoever holds a particular elected office. What could go wrong?
Blue states always end up shouldering the financial burden for the red states that vilify them.
Dear Jake Tapper, is this Worse than Watergate?
not when he has books to sell
So this is subverting Congress's power of the purse. I'm guessing the states now have to wait for Trump to break the law to sue him on it. Could they at least send out a press release to respond?
Besides evading Congress, is this an attempt to line his own pockets or his cronies? Who is going to audit the expenditures to make sure the money will go to *all* deserving citizens and not just Trump's contractors?
Meidastouch had a video on Gavin Newsom's press responses to the onslaught of MAGA flooding the zone. The press team is responding quickly to help reduce the spread of misinformation. (I liked that the video showed the range of attacks + governor's responses.) youtu.be/uJMtGfycOBw?...
Probably I've missed something, but I'm wondering if the DNC has a similar organized response effort in the works. There's supposed to be a team of experts, yes? If Trump is working to distract people, then it seems that rapid response would be helpful in freeing Democrats more from Trump's fires.
So…to translate, I will only distribute funds to red states and cities.
But the hurricanes won't be phasing out 🤔
He'll distribute it right into his own pockets as usual. Fuck the rest of the people.
youtu.be/f3KIO6VfxpU?... Epstein would be so proud of his Bestie and all those Trumpsters
Good luck with that, MAGArbage. To you have your kneepads ready for the fellatio he'll demand?
Evil political favoritism aside, without FEMA, who is going to actually put boots on the ground and extract people from the mess when a hurricane or major tornado tears through a red state?
No?
Can't help but think that the sooner this person and all the people who empowered him are removed from office, the more likely we will be to recover. We need a refreshing of the social contract and renewal of the concept of shame, which has been in too short supply.
Hurricanes, famously not happening yearly.
Fuck this guy
With this regime, we're in a hostage situation. We're all the hostages.
Little for red states, very little for blue states, the rest invested in trumps crypto.
That's a lot of BJs. Can his catheter handle it?
We can already see the scaling back in the May St Louis tornado relief. It's not there. Being a solid red state is not helping one bit. He hates the color of the population of any large city, whether it's red or blue.
Dictator stuff.
So Trump is FEMA. Many local govts do not have the experts or resources FEMA has..besides Congress created FEMA. He can't shut it down.
I can't wait till he starts to bend the weather to his will. I mean he is on a mission from God, isn't he?
Ahhhh gifts for his friends, the boot for his "enemies" eh? Cool cool
Sure it will all be about loyalty and favours now in exchange for life saving assistance. Everything is a business deal to president TACO.
So will socialist states like Florida and Alabama have to pay for their own disaster relief now?
Fuck, it’s the last hurricane season. Fuck.
Kind of won't matter because red states along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast won't have any immigrants around to rebuild their houses. God knows white men won't dirty their dainty hands with manual labor. They just sit in their air conditioned trucks yelling at immigrants.
Then more states must hold onto their funds instead of providing them to the federal government.
No way this is legal. Wish the media would lead with that instead of just saying "dear dictator Trump announces X and we all gotta go along with it"
So fun! I live in a hurricane risk area and homeowner's insurance has a carveout for hurricane wind damage ever since Sandy (no coverage above cat 2) and now there will be no FEMA assistance either bc I live in a blue state. What could go wrong,m
He’s always wanted this. Kiss his ample ass or you get no money to help your people after disasters. This is so corrupt and un-American.
As personal gifts or revenge. Illegal!
Sounds a lot like something a King would decree.
What a nightmare.
We need something quicker than impeachment.
How fucked up is that? Disaster relief requires coordination and management, not just payoffs to people in red states.
After the season because he is worried about his resorts in Florida being hit & he wants to fleece the fund for himself
He continues to tell us exactly what he's doing. Follow the $ right into his and his fellow grifters' pockets. Not bothering to soft pedal at all.
Pick and choose who he helps 🤬
also known as "red states get it all, blue states get nothing unless they beg"
Kiss the ring or no aid. I can’t believe a country who’s all “2A NO TYRANNY!” is letting this happen.
So if he doesn't like your state or its leadership, you won't get anything.....
So have to imagine if he doles out money to red states but not blue, the blue states are going to have some hard questions abt why they should continue to fund the red states?
A slush fund for bribes, if you will.
Which means he’ll be able to sell disaster relief.
He is the embodiment of evil.
I wish news outlets would stop trying to be so diplomatic in their headlines. This is OUTRAGEOUS, and an egregious overstep if not just plainly illegal. Call it what it is please.
Those deep red states are going to suffer the most. But I suppose this will disprove the conspiracy that the gov’t can control the weather?
Sorry rednecks
🙄 We've seen what that'll look like already.
What are you doing about it? Are you calling it what it is? When the sum statements and actions of a fascist repeatedly happen, are you so adherent to supposed impartiality that you can’t condemn obvious abuse of power?
So basically red states will be awarded money that blue states mostly contributed.
He is just nothing but the world’s biggest a🌻🌻hole who needs to come to an END.
Holy shit. Of course he does. Impeach Trump now!
Impeachment, won't do anything.....

Golly, I bet that will work out so well for hurricane survivors. They’ll each get a roll of paper towels and a gilt framed photo of Trump for their destroyed home.
