"Every accusation is a confession": Trump says Biden does not want to deliver disaster aid to Republicans (these are swing states, right before an election, but never mind). But multiple Trump aides say he was reluctant to allow FEMA aid to go to blue states. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/04/u...
He changed his mind after being shown data that his supporters in the state had been affected, the former officials said. One called his approach “red states vs. blue states.”
You don't even need the trump aides accounts to know that. The orange ghoul himself talked about it ad nauseum during his time in office -- how he hated California, and didn't want to send them disaster aid.
Competence really matters for disaster response. You can't bluff your way through it. More climate-driven disasters are coming. If we replace the people who take the job seriously with those who view disasters primarily as a vehicle to feed conspiracy theories, count on much more human misery.
