Trump’s decision to campaign in North Carolina slowed down the delivery of meals to hurricane victims in North Carolina.

What kind of lies did Trump say about FEMA?
CNN’s Daniel Dale did a fact check
and found:
– First, there is zero basis for Trumpâs suggestion that FEMA or the Biden administration might be running some sort of scheme to get undocumented immigrants to vote illegally in the 2024 election.
– Second, itâs not true that FEMA disaster assistance money was improperly reallocated to migrants.
– Third, itâs not true that FEMAâs money is âall gone.â
– Fourth, itâs not true that the Biden administration âdidnât have any money left for North Carolina.â
Trump went to North Carolina, delayed food and aid to hurricane victims, and then told a series of lies about FEMA and the hurricane response.
This one event perfectly sums up both Trump’s politics, and how he treats the American people. There is never any concern or compassion for anyone in the country. Trump is only interested in how he can manipulate the pain of others for his own benefit.
Trump wasn’t in North Carolina to help anyone, but himself, and if sent back to the White House, that is how he will govern.
