Trump vows 'no more' federal aid to California as devastating wildfires continue to burn

29. Another instance of Trump's heinous fuckery based on his personal feelings.

He doesn't like CA because it didn't vote for him and because he never got to be a big shot in Hollywood, so he says he's not going to let them have emergency disaster relief funds. But he doesn't get to just decide on his own that he won't give the state any money; the process goes through FEMA, and FEMA makes a recommendation after a review of the state's detailed request. If Dolt 45 decides to ignore FEMA's recommendation, the state can appeal. https://www.fema.gov/disaster-declaration-process And it will make him look like the vindictive douche that he is. And what if thousands of people - maybe including thousands of Republicans - decide to leave CA because it keeps catching on fire and Trump won't help? What if those people move to another state and vote against him in that state because they've finally figured out that he's a vindictive douche?

What about California's economy? Only the United States (as a whole), China, Japan, and Germany have larger economies than California. If he thinks he needs a good national economy to assure re-election, why would he risk fucking up the largest one in the country?

Because he's a vindictive douche, that's why, and stupid as well.
