A president shouldn’t be denying aid to a state out of spite or revenge, because people don’t agree/vote for him. He’s the farthest thing from a leader. It’s never been humanitarian for this administration.

This is a creature who just this year so far has starved a half million children to death in 3rd world countries by shutting down USAID & stopping our contributions to the World Health Organization. “Humanitarian” is not a word he knows

I do think that if the federal government refuses to take responsibility for helping people to get recovery from natural disasters, people should not pay the tax to the federal government because they are not capable of handling the taxes.

The next capable & honest president should make sure those states stiffed by Trump, out of political spite, get their aid money. Take it from "red" states, if they have to, until the funding is made right.

Don’t worry; cholesterol will put a stop to it before the midterms. Either that or the CIA spooks will. Donnie ain’t gonna be around much longer. He’s bad for the profit margins of the military-industrial complex

Because Trump is hell-bent not just on stoking political division between red and blue states, but on inciting civil war. Here's to Democrats not just fighting back, but paying back, too...
