The guy that wanted to nuke hurricanes, threw paper towels at people in Puerto Rico while vital supplies sat in port and thought he could change the path of a hurricane with a sharpie says what?!?

I’m mean, yeah, sure Biden and Harris were ahead of this emergency but did they show up to throw paper towels at people? So sad. Missed opportunity. I’m sure that big Mr Billions with the “amazing body” has already pledged a couple hundred million to help, right? Right, maga?

Without Trump’s help, who’s going to throw paper towels at people as a way of mitigating disaster?

> As Trump tours Georgia and North Carolina, Republicans continue to slam Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for not showing face in disaster zones. But perhaps while roads remain closed and many remain without power, it’s a better use of resources for the federal government to provide actual disaster relief, rather than divert resources for a tour bus. At least, that’s what many residents in Georgia thought about Trump’s publicity stunt Monday.
Wow. Trump making a disaster all about him again.
Shocker! /s

Reminds me of when people got mad at Christie for praising Obama for helping during Jersey’s time of need.
It’s almost like Democrats execute good governance and not revenge when they’re in office.

He shouldn’t be allowed to use local resources at a time like this to just go on a publicity tour.
He’s also turning a disaster into a campaign event which is wrong.

Note that Trump would definitely not be offering Kemp help if he were still President.

A reminder that Trump’s Project 2025 wants to eliminate the federal agencies that can detect these horrific events before they occur.

I never knew I would have a shred of respect for Kemp, but here we are.

But, Kemp will still vote for Drumpf.

The Republican Party has been taken over by a con artist, and the vast majority of republicans seem giddy about that reality. Shame.

As usual Republicans projecting. Trump refused to help blue states after a disaster. Dems have never done that. Also this obsession with visiting, as if that actually accomplishes anything is another GOP bullshit thing. The resources spent on security for Trump or a President visiting means those resources are not helping with other post disaster efforts. But let’s be honest, Trump knows this but he knows his cult members don’t.

Wow, so brave.
