It the midst of an unprecedented — and completely avoidable — government shutdown that is hurting government workers, contractors and farmers across the nation, President Trump inexplicably decided to aim his Twitter ire at the victims of California’s devastating wildfires.
In a recent tweet, Trump said he has ordered the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to stop providing disaster relief funds to the state, which are intended to help get victims back on their feet and help ravaged communities recover.
==========================================================================
His basis for the cruel threat is his long-disproven claim that wildfires in California are the result of bad forest management by the state. There are many reasons the president’s claim is false, not the least of which is that most of the forestlands in California are federally owned — and therefore, currently managed by his own administration.
Our Bully-in-Chief. Probably wants to take away FEMA funds from Puerto Rico also, as they can't vote for him in 2020 anyway.
These funds are probably destined for the Great Wall of Trump along the southern invasion front.
