Two days later, the orange anus declared California wildfires a major disaster, promising aid despite previous threats.
Oh, but to have be a fly on the wall in the White House.

(82,849 posts)He was the loser here in 2016, so the West Coast is on its own, and we knew that going in. Although if Trump decides some people need to be gassed or shot with rubber bullets, he'll send some federal agents to Portland to do that.

So beyond disgusting. Every president in my life no matter what side would help any state in trouble it was always a given you put down the partisan words in time of great need.
Trump is trying to take away the United part of United States and make them my states, your states.
I wish every business on the west coast would refuse to send the feds any more tax money until they get federal help. We pay for it!
