and money hungry.

So, yes, he would deny disastrous relief.

Plus, FEMA funds are being used to build more concentration camps.

What we are paying federal taxes for if we no longer have access to fema, health research, women’s healthcare, education funding, food assistance, weather tracking, environmental safeguards, etc? Are we literally just paying all of our tax money to wage war on ourselves in the form of subjugating everyone who isn’t a white male? Why should California, NY, Illinois or any other blue state pay for this when it is the blue states that are being punished the hardest.

Could this have anything to do with the fact that the governor of Maine stood up to him right when he first got elected? I'm sure it gives him great happiness to get back at the governor AND punish the people who didn't vote for him at the same time. He doesn't care about the fact that Republicans who voted for him live there too. Then again, he doesn't care about anyone but himself.
