This tiny country on the other side of the planet flat out owns the US. Amazing accomplishment

withholding disaster aid is not the way to go. It looks incredibly petty.
Its petty. And a bastardization. Disaster funds are for disasters, not enforcing Israel trade policy. It was wrong when Biden tried to politicize the Carolina disaster funds, and so is this.

States can boycott whoever they want and it shouldn’t impact fema assistance at all.

Israel first!

Americans last, as in nothing for Americans.


Didn't Trump finally bring real help with FEMA to North Carolinians after the Biden admin completely screwed it up after Helene?

Does Biden believe in America first while he was giving billions to Ukraine and giving nothing to NC?

Is that how this hypocrisy works? You nail into Trump while Biden did 100x worse, and in your eyes Biden did not wrong anyway? That's where we are?

I don't know about this new "support Israel" stuff. Trump does dumb shite too.

For 10 years this board has been vehemently said Trump is America First. Best president possibly ever for the American people.

Minds got changed quickly. Not talking about you, Tboy. I know you're one of those other people.

You idiots will never learn. Trump makes these claims for leverage in negotiations. Everyone knows that Trump will never withhold aid, but he might withhold Democrat leaders from accessing aid, while aid is distributed though Nation Guard, etc. Geez, you fall for these Prog lies everytime.

This is beyond a Trump "claim". It is now policy outlined in Federal guidelines and procedures. It is well past just talk.

Yep. The only people hurt by this policy will be the American citizens facing the worst days of their lives.

It won't take the courts long to shut down this nonsense.

There's his angle then. Shining light on the subject. Folks won't get it this time either. As if the dude is actually going to do this.

Are there any states that are currently banning Israeli business? Is this really a problem?

Seems like there are better ways to surgically "educate and encourage" the politicians that are pushing these boycotts instead punishing people that stand behind Trump \. Most of these states have millions of Trump supporters and I am not sure he should deny good people help during a disaster.
Gotta be some other leverage he could use

If everybody knows he's bluffing then what's the point? People have caught on and just laugh at him now once the outrage passes.

Eh From where I sit FEMA is, by and large, an absolute disaster of an agency. I'm interested to see how this shakes out. I trust they know what they're doing.

I don’t like tax-paying Americans possibly getting screwed out of disaster relief funds when they don’t really have any say in whether their state or local government engages in such a boycott.
