Guessing this was before Trump lied about FEMA assistance so Trump barked out some orders to deny more for now so he can be right. Politically I can see how it’d hurt Democrats, so maybe not Trump’s idea,which is even worse because in the end it’ll be the residents who have to deal with it. It’d be nice if people were taught to vote with empathy as well as in their own best interests beyond their bank account.
