Less than a month after Donald Trump declared he plans to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) it appears he's backpedaling in the wake of the Texas Floods.
I’m from Missouri-time and time again-this administration has “shown me” where their priorities lie. It’s never with the most vulnerable people at their most vulnerable times who are left to fend for themselves.
The callous disregard of the party in power toward human life and suffering is evident in their decision making- “we all die”-“we’ll get used to it”-“it’s not the job of government to take care of the citizens”
If prosocial supports-making life healthier, better and providing aid are NOT what we pay the government to do then what are taxes for?
Congressional salary? Waging war? Litigation? Detention Camps? (We will pay billions to detain and punish but not help, educate, and aid?)
tRump is deranged! I have cousins who live down in Texas, and one male cousin (MAGA), posted that's my president see he sent Blackhawk helicopters to the area.
I truly feel he only did it cause it involved a camp with young girls ages 7-17.
So many other weather disasters and not a word. How many tornados hit throughout the southern midwest and south this spring with loss of lifes.
Murders and attempted murders of politicians and their spouses, not a word.
Hurricane season is upon us and the forecasters in those areas already know they will not be able to accurately predict its course, so how many more deaths will be on tRump's regime?
I just found out that the camp not only was for girls ages 7-17 but white girls. This is the only reason our deranged leader is interested in this tragedy!!!

What does America stand for?
Thank you for sharing, and I hope you are ok after the last storms
I was a lucky one - not in the affected downtown area this time! (Thanks for caring! ❤️)
I’m wired tonight. So many preventable losses! This is a modern country?
Me too, lotsa coffee. We're living in another time, pre-everything.
This mf-er just wings it; then oops, the great MAGA state needs federal help.
Oh yeah, he has no clue what he's talking about. Why people continue to coddle him is beyond me.
Rural communities also suffer disproportionately after disasters. https://www.gao.gov/blog/after-disaster-hits-rural-communities-face-unique-challenges-recovering
Trump also managed to blame Biden for the “water issue.”
I stubbed my toe and blamed Biden
That’s one he hasn’t thought of yet!
Apparently it looks like 64 dead n 21 children missing m probably dead in Texas.
Hey blue state? How do u like Doge n Trump now???
Note I have not seen current news this morning
Those death numbers probably went up
Tragic

Family for us also. Prayers 🙏
Thank you, from us too!
