Trump to US governors: Treat me nicely or your people will suffer.

[JLW]

Former president Donald Trump routinely forced governors to grovel and beg him personally for federal aid following natural disasters, according to a forthcoming book by a pair of New York Times reporters.

According to a copy of This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future obtained by The Independent ahead of its’ 3 May release date, authors Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns learned from Maryland Governor Larry Hogan that Mr Trump had a policy which stated that only Texas and Florida — two states with GOP governors he considered to be close allies — would receive federal aid when needed without question.


Mr Hogan told the authors that Mr Trump required the other 48 governors of American states to direct their requests to him personally.


“You have to call and ask me nicely,” he recalled Mr Trump saying.

Trump refused to release disaster aid unless governors grovelled for it, book reveals

In other words, Trump was holding the American people hostage if a governor did not bend the knee after a natural disaster.

It shows just how little respect Trump had for the average American and the rule of law.

With Trump it was either grovel or be spit upon. That attitude especially applies to all his supporters.

This is typical behavior of an authoritarian.

In Trump's world it was all about personal power and all others be damned.

Trump's attitude: Please me or suffer.

LOL...Okay we will mark you down that you fine with a president holding aid back after a natural disaster if a governor does not beg the president for aid.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Ok.....here we go again. Where is the evidence that these things happened BEFORE a book was released? Have these governers spoken out about this before? Why, if this is the case, are we just now learning about it? Are you telling me that this was happening and nobody said anything about it, nobody knew about it? These reporters just happened to find the, previously unknown, truth, and were the only ones to know about it, and were able to keep it a secret so they could release it in a book?

I've said it before,.these "bombshell" revelations always seem to come out when someone is releasing a book....

When you have a slobbering idiot drooling in the WH........what else do you have to post about.

LMAO

He made Cali Gov call him for help when the state was burniing down. I remember that. he fucked Puerto Rico over as well.

“You have to call and ask me nicely,” he recalled Mr Trump saying.

"...nice to me..."
"...treats me...."
"...likes me..."
"...loves me..."
"...loyal to me..."
"...fight for me..."

Never in my life have I seen a person, let alone an "adult", so outwardly, shamelessly, needy and sensitive. Never. Not even close.

What is the condition of a society that reveres a "man" like this? THAT'S the question of the last seven years. This is about US.

It's the GOP way.

So a deep state RINO governor bad mouths DT to Pravda. Sounds totally legit, much like Ukrainian quid pro & Russian collusion.
Didn't resident Briben withhold monoclonal antibody treatments from Florida & other red states?

White House Attempts to Justify Withholding Monoclonal Antibody Treatments From Florida and Red States, Fails Miserably - The Last Refuge

If the political parties were reversed, the entire White House press corps would be having apoplectic fits about the White House withholding COVID-19 treatments from New York or California, with endless articles written about how Donald Trump was intentionally politicizing healthcare and...

GOD I HATE STUPID PEOPLE.

I wonder if you have the names of those schools teaching infants how to use dildos yet ?
Or was it something that you made up ?

I wonder why you would back a teacher doing sex education at that age...................

Doesn't bother you does it Camel Jockey.

So it was just something that you made up. Not something that actually happened in the real world.

Its a bit disappointing to find a Conservative lying in this way, again.

This is about US.

I totally agree. We got Trump because the DC crowd had so pushed America to the wall that even HE was a better choice. As it turned out, his biggest "crime" was succeeding in exposing just how nasty and criminal politics had become. Anyone who actually believes most of the vitriol spewed by media about Trump, is someone who was inclined to be part of a "hate team". They got, and many STILL get, some kind of serotonin bump by getting their opinions cheered when they put in the minimal effort of repeating lies.

When he runs again, simply repeating hate online will no longer be sufficient for the media masters. They will expect those who were merely vocal between 2016 and 2020, to be willing to boost that hate in physical ways. THAT is my humble prediction.

There's a pretty decent chance that we're heading into a period of autocratic White "Christian" Nationalism.

Trump, Tucker, Bannon, and the GQP are having their way.

No, we're not. All you leftists have is fear-mongering.
