Another hurricane brings fresh aspersions on federal storm recovery efforts from former President Donald Trump.
“Hopefully on Jan. 20 you’re going to have somebody that’s really going to help you and help you like never before,” Trump said Thursday in a video on X.
Trump was more positive about onetime Presidential Primary opponent Ron DeSantis, meanwhile.
“Your Governor is doing an excellent job. I’ve been talking to him and watching. Ron is doing a really good job. We’re proud of him and we’re going to have something very, very special in the end. I think it’s going to turn out a lot better than people thought,” Trump added.
This is nothing new for Trump, who cast doubt on Helene response as well.
“They’re being treated very badly in the Republican areas,” Trump said on Fox News on Sept. 30. “They’re not getting water, they’re not getting anything.”
President Joe Biden and DeSantis have made it clear that they want to be seen as working constructively during this storm, complicating Trump’s messaging.
“All I can tell you is I’ve talked to Gov. DeSantis. He’s been very gracious. He’s thanked me for all we’ve done. He knows what we’re doing. And I think that’s important,” Biden said Wednesday to reporters at the White House.
DeSantis has given Biden credit in a way he hasn’t in years, meanwhile, reiterating that he’s gotten everything he’s asked for from Washington.
“I’ve had storms under both President Trump and President Biden, and I’ve worked well with both of them,” he said on Fox News this week.

Trump is a lying sack of excrement, but the majority of his supporters are “mentally impaired” enough to believe him.

Imagine, a man is applying for the top leadership position at a large, important organization. This person publicly starts spreading inflammatory lies and false conspiracy theories about the organization and the work it does, to stoke division and undermine trust in the organization he wants to lead. He’ll do anything to take advantage of vulnerable and gullible people, no matter the harm, no matter the cost, no matter the human consequences, so long as it serves his interests.
As a member of the hiring committee, would you put your faith and trust in a man like that?

Has he got anything helpful to offer anyone? Or just wild allegations that others are doing nothing when it’s him who is doing nothing?

DJT gave a stranger a $100 bill to help her pay for her purchases.
He brought paper towels to PR after the hurricane.
And, he has promised to protect women and comfort them so they never have to worry again.
