Trump had to have voter data shown to him to get him to release funding to wildfire victims in California. Only after learning Orange County was very Republican.

    1. Political affiliation should play no role in receiving federal aid after a disaster. Fortunately, OC is more purple than red these days!

      Sadly, none of this is changing the mind of anyone planning on voting for him.

      His base is proud of him for doing that. They’d rather millions of us die instead of voting for the wrong person.

      Today all the conservative radio is complaining about the (Democratic President administration) federal government not providing enough aid to hurricane victims. Appalachia is Trump country. He only cares about those people making it to the polls.

      This is fucking deplorable. How is this not criminal? Who would want this tantrum happy brat leading their nation?

    6. The fact that the republican party still thinks this guy should be the next president makes me want to puke on the daily.

      How is this not clear enough let; He will LITERALLY let you BURN if you are not a loud enough follower of his. These people are ghouls, and I am so very tired of treating anyone, with the same access to this information as us, that is willing to vote for him, as anything other than irredeemable morons.

    8. How is it not a criminal act for president to withheld aid for those in need and release it only to serve his agenda? I guess in a functional gov, that person would have been impeached and place on trial. Except now that the GOP has get rid of all normalcies and will bend to whatever trump said

    9. Everything with this piece of shit is purely transactional. He doesn’t care about anyone or anything, unless it’s money or power.

      If conservatives could read they wouldn’t be bothered by this. That totally fits their world view.

      This should be on blast in Orange County. Targeted advertisements. Won’t matter with presidential, but maybe sway local elections blue.

    12. yes, he’s a piece of shit. he does this ALL the time.

      >During his address, he said that, if elected, he would withhold federal aid for Californian wildfires if Governor Newsom did not change water policies. Trump said he wanted California to allow more water to be diverted to farmers rather than allowed to flow into the delta.

      And yet he lied about the federal support for Helene.. it’s almost as if he doesn’t care about human life unless it benefits him politically. Nah, surely that’s not the case. that sounds *awful.*
