Nine months into the reoccupation of the White House by Donald Trump, the nation is facing a slew of crises that will subject the American people to enduring harm and suffering. They include Trump’s gross mismanagement of the economy by the imposition of inflationary tariffs; his dismantling of federal agencies that serve critical needs of the people; and his military invasions of American cities to harass migrants and intimidate citizens.

Also topping the list of catastrophes for which Trump and his MAGA minions in Congress are responsible, is the shutdown of the federal government that, at 22 days, is currently the second longest such shutdown in U.S. history. For the record, Trump holds the number one spot at 35 days during his first term. And he appears to be determined to break his own record.

In the meantime, various regions of the country are grappling with the sort of natural disasters that commonly occur due to storms, drought, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, etc. In the past the federal government deployed its resources via the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to mitigate the harm and provide for a rapid recovery.

However, the Trump regime has blown FEMA apart in its crusade to dismantle all remnants of the federal bureaucracy that they regard as wasteful and corrupt. And in its place Trump is exercising his own prerogatives to distribute taxpayer funds as if they came from his personal piggy bank.

Consequently, Trump posted several comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he bragged about some disbursements of aid funds to states that have experienced recent painful acts of God. However, his political biases in how those funds are disbursed is glaringly evident.

In the posts listed below, note that each monetary grant went to a governor of a red state who supported Trump. And in each comment Trump makes sure to mention that the state receiving the grant had voted for him.

• “I spoke with Governor Kelly Armstrong, and informed him of my approval of $3 Million Dollars to…North Dakota, which I won THREE times in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”
• “I just informed Governor Mike Dunleavy that, based on his request, I am approving $25 Million Dollars to help Alaska…which I won BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”
• “I just finished speaking with Governor Jim Pillen, of the Great State of Nebraska, and told him that I have approved $15 Million Dollars for…Nebraska.”
• “I just spoke with Governor Mike Kehoe, of the Great State of Missouri, and told him that I am approving $2.5 Million Dollars…I won “The Show Me State” three times in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”

That is not the way that federal funds are supposed to be allocated. The president is expected to serve the needs of all the people, not just those who voted for him. But such ethical constraints have never been a part of Trump’s character, or lack thereof. It’s notable that Trump also approved aid for North Carolina and Wisconsin, but didn’t bother to boast about those states that have Democratic governors. What’s more, he has not approved aid for recent disasters in Democratic strongholds, California, Arizona, and New Mexico.

That is typical of Trump who has long carried out a policy of retribution against his political foes, even threatening them with prosecution and incarceration. It goes back to his early rally chants aimed at Hillary Clinton to “Lock her up,” and continues today in his threats directed at Democratic leaders such as Sen. Adam Schiff, Gov. Gavin Newsom, and these defenders of democracy…

This is just further proof that Trump couldn’t care less about the American people. He only cares about preserving and expanding his power. And if he has to reward and/or punish people or states based on their fealty to him in order to maintain control, he has neither the morality nor the shame to resist that narcissistic compulsion. Which only makes the need for him to be removed from office ASAP more imperative. 8647!
