Hurricanes, Floods, Wildfires, and Tornado Season Without FEMA

Malpractice. And unAmerican. I guess the folks who politicized public health are happy to do the same with disaster response and recovery.

President Donald Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

He approved just 23 percent of disaster funding requests from states with a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators since returning to office 14 months ago. For states with a Republican governor and two Republican senators, it’s the opposite — Trump has approved 89 percent of their requests.

There has never been such a sharp partisan disparity in the approval of federal disaster funds since FEMA was created in 1979, according to a review of 2,500 natural disaster declarations by POLITICO’s E&E News.

The denials have blocked Democratic-led states from getting a total of $250 million in disaster aid that would have been approved by every previous president including Trump in his first term, E&E News found.

Trump rejected most of the requests even after FEMA had documented that the damage met its financial threshold to warrant receiving federal aid.

Trump’s recent disaster declarations contrast sharply with his first term, when he approved 93 percent of requests from Democratic-led states — compared to 89 percent from states controlled by Republicans.

Other findings:

Trump’s 23 percent approval rate of Democratic requests is unprecedented. Every president since Reagan has approved at least 67 percent of requests from Democratic-led states. Republican Presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Trump in his first term each approved a higher percentage of requests from Democratic states than from Republican states.

Trump has taken 80 days on average to approve or deny requests from Democratic-led states — compared to 39 days for Republican-led states.

Trump’s denials of Democratic-led states overwhelmingly affected counties that supported him in 2024, suggesting that Trump’s rejections were directed at state leaders who oppose him politically.

Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado better not get any major fires this year (they will). Same with hurricanes for some eastern states and tornados and flooding across the center of the country.

He is so devoid of partisanship and doing what's best for all of the people of this country. Trump is a sociopathic and vengeful man, so full of spite, that he takes pleasure in watching Americans suffer, based on their political party. It's so gross that this psycho is representing the United States of America on our 250th anniversary.

I think he's confusing teleportation with drunk driving. Anyway, he's also a COVID conspiracy guy and thinks Biden's DHS was trying to assassinate Trump.

Freaks everywhere in this administration.

More on this weirdo from CNN:

For years, Gregg Phillips — now a senior FEMA official — has told stories that blur the boundary between the ordinary and the supernatural.

A dead girlfriend once lifted his car off the road to avoid a crash. Satan once spoke to him while he walked across Spain. After collapsing inside an Indianapolis Lowe’s, he came to in a McDonald’s parking lot across the street with 15,000 steps logged on his health app, a Big Mac in his lap, and little understanding of what had just happened.

In telling these stories across various right-wing podcasts, Phillips has said many of the experiences occurred while he was in and out of treatment for metastatic bone cancer. Rather than undergo chemotherapy, Phillips says he chose instead to rely on a self-directed regimen of ivermectin and fenbendazole, antiparasitic drugs commonly used to deworm animals.

Phillips said his experiences occurred so often that a friend in Mobile, Alabama came to believe he was “half in and half out” of heaven, kept alive by God to finish unfinished work, and jokingly referred to him as “God’s zombie.”

“I’m actually dead,” Phillips said in April 2025. “But I’m here doing God’s stuff. And so we laugh about that a little bit.”

On the same January 2025 podcast where he mentioned teleportation, Phillips described a near-crash in the desert in which he said a deceased girlfriend appeared inside his moving car and lifted it off the road to avoid an oncoming truck. Phillips said he was driving a car he had recently won in a poker game.

“The girl that I had dated came into the car with me, the girl that had died,” Phillips said. “She said ‘You’re not going to survive this. So I’m going to take you away.’ And she lifted me and the car up and out of the way from a truck that had slid across the road and had come all the way across the road and was about to hit me.”

In another account in 2022 , Phillips described a hike he took across Spain during which he said he was approached by Satan, who urged him to lighten his pack. Phillips said he responded by pouring out his last two liters of water, leaving him in distress until he was found by a passerby who sought help.

“The devil’s right behind me saying, ‘Dude, lighten your pack,’” Phillips said. “So… I poured the last two-liter bottle of water that I had out on the ground.”

“I didn’t make it, Christ brought me to this place,” Phillips added of his survival.

“Satan lied to me. He convinced me to pour out my water bottle to reduce my pack weight. He almost got his demonic wish and watched me die,” Phillips said in another video describing the incident posted on Truth Social in 2025.
