Why are red states being denied aid by Trump?
The states that voted for Donald Trump are getting the biggest middle finger in the world from Donald Trump. When it even comes to things like disaster relief and FEMA aid, Donald Trump is looking at these red states that many of them overwhelmingly voted for him. And Trump's saying, F you, I hate you. You are not getting aid. Go screw yourself. He's not using those exact words, but he's sending the same kind of form letter saying we are not giving you aid. He did it recently in Arkansas. He did it recently in Kentucky. He did it recently in Georgia. He did it recently in North Carolina. Now, obviously, Arkansas and Kentucky are voted like 63, 64% for Donald Trump. He's not even giving them emergency aid. I want you to think about that.
And then in the past two weeks or so, we reported how he's not giving North Carolina aid to remove debris. He said, uh-uh, you ain't getting that. And then a few weeks before that, he told Governor Kemp of Georgia, I ain't giving you debris removal aid. Go deal with the debris yourself, state. Federal government is not helping you out. And by the way, while Donald Trump is giving the middle finger to these states on emergency relief from freaking natural disasters, what's Donald Trump spending his time doing? Well, he was pumping up his meme coin yesterday by inviting the 220 people who have the most Trump meme coins in their wallets get special access to Donald Trump and they could have a private dinner with him.
Black tie optional. Of course, Donald Trump says it pumped the value of his meme coin, but then it quickly went down. the debris and dumping all of the disastrous things that happen with natural disasters on even red States and blue States alike. Donald Trump is saying my meme coin, what it went up 71% and then it went right back down. And I want to tie this all together. So first let's take a look at this from Arkansas tornado victims blocked from federal recovery aid after Trump denied request. So Trump looks at victims of a tornado and Donald Trump says, screw you.
What actions did Trump take against Arkansas and Kentucky?
The Trump administration denied Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders' request for individual and public assistance following an outbreak of severe storms and tornadoes that also affected neighboring Mississippi and Missouri and left more than 40 people dead. And by the way, you may be saying, Ben, I didn't even hear about this tragedy. Well, they did in Arkansas. They did in Missouri. And we did cover it here on the Midas Touch Network. But you know who didn't talk about it? Not a peep. Donald Trump. The same way Donald Trump doesn't talk about the four soldiers who died in Lithuania, the two American soldiers who died in New Mexico and one critically injured. The way Donald Trump doesn't address this. shootings that take place.
The same with Donald Trump doesn't do any of that. He doesn't address the fact that there have been these horrific storms that have left dozens and dozens of people dead. It goes on to say the denial by Trump follows executive order signed by Trump seeking to shift the burden of disaster response and recovery from the federal government onto states as extreme weather becomes increasingly destructive and costly in a warming world. And if Missouri got the same letter.
How is Trump prioritizing his time over disaster relief?
Now, it should also be noted that this is what Trump and the MAGA Republicans plan is for Medicaid, right? Whereas Medicaid right now has a cost-sharing 90% federal government, 10% states with kind of a match 90-10. What the MAGA plan is to get rid of Medicaid is push it all to the states, which can't afford to provide Medicaid. They rely on the federal government Most states or many states have trigger laws that the moment federal government stops its funding, Medicaid goes away. And this way, Trump and his despicable authoritarian regime can just put the blame on the states. Let's let's. Dig a little bit deeper into this as well. So that's what's happening in Arkansas.
What are the implications of Trump's denial of aid?
Let's take a look at what Governor Beshear, a Democratic governor of Kentucky, Wyatt on the Midas Touch Network. Here's what he posted yesterday. Today, Governor Andy Beshear announced that FEMA has denied public assistance for two counties and individual assistance for six counties affected by flooding in February. So Donald Trump said, screw you, tornado victims. Screw you, flooding victims.
