Trump is weaponizing the government to enact his sadistic fantasies upon us all. Trump is the Antichrist, or close enough that the difference doesn’t matter much.

I really can’t think of any time in the past that FEMA has denied an emergency. Maybe it’s a confirmation uas, but I can’t think of states arbitrarily declaring a disaster and FEMA just not even sending somebody.
