In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, former President Donald Trump has blasted the Biden administration for its handling of the disaster — going so far as to accuse Democratic leaders of ignoring the needs of Republican storm victims.
But a review of Trump’s record by POLITICO’s E&E News and interviews with two former Trump White House officials show that the former president was flagrantly partisan at times in response to disasters and on at least three occasions hesitated to give disaster aid to areas he considered politically hostile or ordered special treatment for pro-Trump states.
Mark Harvey, who was Trump’s senior director for resilience policy on the National Security Council staff, told E&E News on Wednesday that Trump initially refused to approve disaster aid for California after deadly wildfires in 2018 because of the state’s Democratic leanings.
But Harvey said Trump changed his mind after Harvey pulled voting results to show him that heavily damaged Orange County, California, had more Trump supporters than the entire state of Iowa.
But that is just how the FOFF rolled; he acted like a king dispensing favors instead of the leader of a republic. He was clearly The.Worst.President.Since.the.Civil.War. (if not ever).
Obviously, he thinks Biden is screwing red states because that's exactly what he would do if he was on the job.
He is a despicable excuse for a human being. He has no compassion for anyone, everything is transactional for him. he has no concept of duty or honor or integrity, as he has himself admitted.
