1. Is TFG saying there will only be $750 for anyone claiming damages?

UPDATE 12:00 PM - President Donald Trump has approved federal disaster assistance for the state of Texas to assist in recovery efforts after massive floods destroyed dozens of homes and killed nearly 70 people.

The funding is available to affected individuals in Kerr County, with assistance including grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property, and various other recovery programs.

Funding will also be available to state and local governments, as well as certain nonprofits, for emergency work and the repair of critical infrastructure, as well as the repair or replacement of facilities.

I so hope someone comes out and blasts his sorry ass

5. Where do you see that $700 number?

FEMA gave $750 after the North Carolina hurricane that hit Asheville. I don’t see an amount in your quote.

6. It was in reference to this

There was one prominent person seizing on the misinformation for his own purposes: Donald Trump. As a candidate, Trump leveled the baseless accusation that the Biden administration was diverting FEMA assistance from North Carolina to house illegal immigrants. He claimed $1 billion of FEMA spending was “stolen” for migrants. He said all FEMA had to offer people in North Carolina was $750, which was not true.

Sorry, my initial memory was $700, it was actually $750
