Politico: It's 3 times harder for blue states to get disaster funding under Trump

The president has approved just 23 percent of blue state requests for disaster aid, compared to 89 percent for red states.

"...There has never been such a sharp partisan disparity in the approval of federal disaster funds since FEMA was created in 1979, according to a review of 2,500 natural disaster declarations by POLITICO’s E&E News.

The denials have blocked Democratic-led states from getting a total of $250 million in disaster aid that would have been approved by every previous president including Trump in his first term, E&E News found...."

@ai6yr once again, republicans aren’t afraid to wield whatever power they can, while democrats won’t even take their own side in a fight.

@ai6yr there is a reason for this.

#psycopath #thiele and #project2025 want you not just gone, but dead, and this is but one of their 'non violent' ways of attempting to do so

An artifact of the Electoral College, or perhaps that he no longer cares if the Republican Party is electable after his term.

@ai6yr

The rest of us should remember that this is exactly what all the people who vote voted for Trump wanted.

They should be reminded of it every day of their lives.

Blue states have a lot of red districts in them. They voted for the guy who’s leading them on their own.

Can we make it 3 times harder for the Federal Government to get Blue State taxes? I’m tired of living in a state that pays a ton of Federal taxes but is then forced to have high State and Local taxes because none of those Federal dollars come back.
