That has already begun with the Trump regime spewing nonsense about Democrats being communists who are purposely trying to destroy America.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70252\" target=\"_blank\">BE AFRAID! Trump\u2019s Propaganda Secretary Warns Fox News About Imaginary Marxist Democrats<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another tactic in Trump&#8217;s bag of dirty tricks is his use of federal resources to buy the support of state officials and voters. The latest example of this came in a series of posts to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70107\" target=\"_blank\">his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, wherein he announced that he is distributing nearly a billion dollars to nine states that he claims is for disaster relief. The list of states is conspicuously partisan in that they are all states that he won in 2024, including&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39651\" target=\"_blank\">Georgia<\/a>: $318.3 Million; <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39650\" target=\"_blank\">Michigan<\/a>: $32.1 Million; <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39645\" target=\"_blank\">Louisiana<\/a>: $8.6 Million; <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39646\" target=\"_blank\">Wisconsin<\/a>: $22.6 Million; <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39643\" target=\"_blank\">Missouri<\/a>: $27.6 Million; <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39644\" target=\"_blank\">Idaho<\/a>: $4.5 Million; <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39641\" target=\"_blank\">Mississippi<\/a>: $11 Million; <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39640\" target=\"_blank\">Kansas<\/a>: $5.5 Million; and <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/39639\" target=\"_blank\">Florida<\/a>: $415.9 Million; <strong>Total = 846.1Million.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump didn&#8217;t say where these funds would be coming from. Under ordinary circumstances disaster relief would be provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). But Trump has had a rocky relationship with them that has gone back and forth between reluctant cooperation and outright detestation.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in January Trump announced a batch of dubious disbursements providing millions of dollars to many of the same states. He <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/34653\" target=\"_blank\">posted<\/a><\/strong> on Truth social that <em>&#8220;We are working closely with FEMA.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, a year prior to that, and just after his second inauguration, Trump <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/29568\" target=\"_blank\">posted<\/a><\/strong> a comment in all caps saying that <em>&#8220;FEMA SHOULD BE TERMINATED! IT HAS BEEN SLOW AND TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE. INDIVIDUAL STATES SHOULD HANDLE STORMS, ETC.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the sort of derangement that we are seeing from Trump in ever more frequent lapses of his cognitive abilities. Yet he remains mentally stable enough to execute his devious schemes to acquire and retain power and wealth at the expense of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that these types of mental impairments are degenerative, and we can only expect them to get worse as time goes by. And sadly, no one in his family or political circles cares enough about him or the nation to have him committed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70225\" target=\"_blank\">Delusional Donald: Does Trump Really Believe He\u2019s Ultra Popular with Record High Approval Ratings?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70215\" target=\"_blank\">UH-OH: Trump Admits that His Phony \u2018Save America Act\u2019 is Really Meant to Rig Elections for MAGA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70069\" target=\"_blank\">MAGA Mike Johnson Pitifully Tries to Cover For Trump Saying \u2018I Don\u2019t Care About the Midterms\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The manic anxieties of Donald Trump are bubbling to the surface as the midterm elections get closer and he realizes that he and his MAGA Republican Party are facing an epic electoral catastrophe.
