Trump Just Screwed Over This Red State Gov in the Most Predictable Way Possible

Well, well, well. If it isn’t the most predictable karma in the world.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who publicly backed Donald Trump for “business reasons,” just got a harsh lesson in what it actually means to do business with Trump—he got completely screwed over.

Let me break this down for you. Back in 2024, Kemp said that even though he wasn’t Trump’s biggest fan personally, he preferred his policies over those of Vice President Kamala Harris. “It’s a business decision,” he told a Republican audience.

And now?

His business partner, Donald Trump, has decided to gut FEMA and deny Georgia the critical disaster aid that President Biden had previously approved for hurricane recovery. That’s right—Kemp begged for an extension of FEMA assistance for cleanup efforts after Hurricane Helene, and Trump’s FEMA basically told him to go pound sand.

It will, of course, be in MTG’s district and with apply for multiple government grants.

After all the government checks clear, they will shoot all the animals and pose with their carcasses.

When asked to explain their actions, the Trump boys will merely state that their faces were in danger. They never expected that!

Kind of like how Hitler treated Ernst Rohm and his Brownshirts after he took power.

MAGAs are the biggest suckers in history.
