Trump reluctantly agreed to give California disaster aid for the inferno that’s raging out of control here. Big of him:
Days after President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding to fight wildfires that are burning across California, FEMA announced on Saturday it approved federal disaster assistance to the state.
Federal relief will include grants for temporary housing, home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help people recover from recent wildfires.
But listen to former DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor talk about Trump’s private discussions regarding California’s fire disasters:
I think we knew that his excuse that California refused to “sweep the forest” was bullshit.
“Maybe we’re gonna have to make them pay for it … if you know what I mean…”
Taylor says he was explicit in private talks that he wanted to punish Americans who lost their homes and loved ones in raging wildfires because the state they live in didn’t vote for him.
You have to wonder about the millions of California Republicans who will still vote for him this November. He doesn’t care about you either, suckers.
