Trump did not want to give aid to California wildfires victims

[Lesh]

I learned a long time ago. What Trump and Trumpers accuse others of doing… is probably what THEY are doing

 

[struth]

Trump did not want to give aid to California wildfires victims based on California being a blue state.
Today, the hypocrite Trump, crticizes the Biden Administration help for hurricane Helena victims.
We don't want any President to povide disaster relief based on the states political leanings.
Only the worst of the worst would do such a thing.

Not surprised there some dembot propaganda trying to deflect from the failure of harris and xiden in this recovery effort

 

[ThisIsMe]

Reluctantly and only after being told many of the victims voted for him

Well ok then, so they got the aid.

 

[Lesh]

Lame response

 

[ThisIsMe]

Lame response

What would you have liked me to have said ?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This is apposed to be soooo bad that we accept depleting our disaster funds to support 22 million criminals.

It doesn't work that way.

 

[Lesh]

What would you have liked me to have said ?

I would like you to have admitted that Trump played politics with that relief money and that he only relented when it was pointed out to him that he got the politics wrong

Ya know… the truth

the articles say that. But in the end, they got their aid

 

[Lesh]

Only because Trump saw it as politically expedient

The articles do say that aids said that, the articles also say other people denied it. Who are we supposed to believe?

Those are HIS aids

Right, and his campaign spokesman has denied the allegation.

The person i guess we need to hear from is Brock long, the FEMA secretary who trump supposedly said that to.

All this stems from a politico article, recently, that claim the two aids said this. Now I’m thinking, if this was the case, why are they bringing it up now, and not back then?

So I went looking. I found this:

President Donald Trump has repeatedly used his bully pulpit to threaten California’s federal funding, but the government

Trump was threatening federal funding if California, not related to the fires.

But in regards to the fire disaster:

Trump himself in a late Monday tweet said that he had just approved “an expedited request for a Major Disaster Declaration” for California.

And

A tweet from Trump:

Wanted to respond quickly in order to alleviate some of the incredible suffering going on,” he tweeted. “I am with you all the way. God Bless all of the victims and families affected.”

And

On the ground in California, officials say the conciliatory language in Monday night’s tweet is more in line with the administration’s swift and cooperative response in recent days as firefighters battle one the worst spates of fires in the state’s history.

And

In general, former FEMA administrators appointed by presidents of both parties said Trump’s personal responses to disasters appeared to have no bearing on the government’s on-the-ground response to them.

And

You’ve got the rhetoric and what really happens,” said Craig Fugate, who led FEMA under President Barack Obama. “None of this on the surface to me seems like the rhetoric is interfering with the process.”

And

R. David Paulison, the FEMA administrator under President George W. Bush, said, “I’ve watched the responses as best as I can from afar and I have not seen anything to indicate the response has been partisan one way or another.”

And then there is this:

California leaders worried that such favoritism might be unfolding over the weekend when Trump in a tweet exhorted the state to fix its “gross mismanagement of the forests” or face “no more Fed payments!”

Could that be what the aids were taking about?

Perhaps his threat to cut federal funding in general are what is being reported? No specifically for the fire disaster?

If California cleaned out the under brush in the forest there wouldn't be as many fires and the would be a lot easier to put out.

 

[Foxfyre]

so did the Forrest service in the 80'and 90's....they wanted to clean up just around were the Forrest meets the city and were shot down.....

The fact is California has long put this or that creature ahead of the needs of other animals, most especially humans who live in those high fire risk areas. Like not allowing people to clear the brush around their homes because it might be the habitat of some endangered rat or whatever. Then when the wildfires came, those homes didn't have a chance to be saved plus some lives are lost too. And I can't imagine the suffering of other wildlife when those fires are raging.

But if they are going to issue building permits for people to build in vulnerable forest areas, it seems the state should take some responsibility for the safety of those people by allowing fire breaks to be created and other sensible forest management policies.

Oh? It would seem to be about the same time trump was talking about withholding federal funding.

The people at the time said they didn’t see any kind of partisanship. Could it not be the same?
