Will Trump Deny Blue States Disaster Relief?

Based on his attitude Trump seems likely to deny federal disaster relief to blue states or at least not bother to issue it. Since he plans to stop federal funds from sanctuary cities we all probably see him give only red states or entities that cooperate with all his programs help.

Now that California appears to need such relief I wonder what will happen. Certainly the floods have done a lot of damage to infrastructure. We remember what happened with Hurricane Sandy and what the GOP did.

So in the future if you have a tornado, a flood, hurricane or other problem what you get will directly depend on whether you are a democratic or GOP district.

I actually had naive hopes the repubs would keep 45 in check ... they would vote for their conservative nominees, but other than that they would not allow a reign of madness.

Like i said, it was naive (or more plainly, stupid)
