Has Trump declared a state of emergency in the tornado hit area?

Georgia got whacked a few days ago and 16 people died. Trump says he's going to "help." Has he, or is he too busy turning the US into a dictatorship?

1. Last I heard was that he was looking at the situation and was going to call Rick Scott

This was from an article about his convo with the Georgia Gov.

2. No, but I'm declaring a state of emerency in all 50 states.

Our democracy is under siege by an orange puppet.

3. Have any of the state governors declared a state of emergency?

"The governor of the state in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the president that FEMA and the federal government respond to the disaster."

Only Mississippi has declared a major disaster, which appears to be a step down from declaring an emergency:

4. No, but I'm declaring one for the entire country because of Drumpt's rain of bullshit.

5. No, he's too busy sitting around with his stubby thumb up his ass whinging

about illegal voting.

6. Yes - 'Georgia and Miss have been approved..more to follow rapidly'.

Mentioned it during DHS speech.

'Briefing with acting director Fenton - instructed to have FEMA to do all they can', 'they need speed'.

7. Good.

His next step needs to be to get James Mattis on the phone. Start shipping combat engineer and military police units in; they can't do law enforcement duties against American civilians but they can direct traffic and search for missing people.
