Trump Voters In Mississippi Say They've Been Abandoned By Trump Months After Tornado
MAGA voters in Mississippi feel betrayed after waiting two months with no help from the guy they voted for
Trump voters in Mississippi are now saying they’ve been abandoned by Donald Trump, who has reportedly refused to send federal workers to their state — despite a tornado hitting Mississippi over two months ago.
Here’s what a Trump supporter in Tylertown, Mississippi told PBS when asked about the federal response to the tornadoes: “I know President Trump said ‘America-First’ and ‘we're going to help Americans first’, but we haven't seen the federal folks down here.”
That is a MAGA voter in Mississippi finding out in real-time that Trump’s ‘America First’ slogan was just rhetoric he used on the campaign trail to trick people into voting for him.
And sadly, it worked
Now, with Trump as president, he’s not sending any federal “folks” into Mississippi (at least according to this individual who lives in the tornado-hit city).
Instead, Trump’s playing golf on the weekends — rounds that are being funded by that guy’s tax dollars.
By the way
This comes after Trump denied North Carolina’s request for additional FEMA funding to help them rebuild and clean up debris after Hurricane Helene.
The takeaway
May this be yet another lesson to the Americans who voted for Donald Trump: this man does not care about you. At all.
All he cares about is playing golf, accepting luxury jumbo jets as bribes from foreign monarchies, hosting dinners for the top foreign investors in his crypto-coin, and handing out tax cuts to himself and the billionaire donors who funded his campaign.
There you have it
While Trump abandons his supporters who’ve been struck by hurricanes and tornadoes, Republicans are still coming after Medicaid, gutting food stamps, and giving tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.
That doesn’t sound like a winning message to me.
Let’s stay loud and keep calling it out. Happy Tuesday, guys!
His MAGA supporters are starting to wake up to the nightmare they elected. Sadly, they are getting what they paid for. Time to vote him out!
Very good framing.
The authoritarian con: the tough measures are needed to stop government waste from going to the undeserving "other".
They must be very confident in their abilities to fully and irretrievably reconstruct (effectively destroy) government services to screw their own voters in such a blatant and callous manner.
Fortunately for the evil cabal of Project 2025 implementers, Fox "news" continues to provide the alternative narrative - although with the growing awareness of the truth, Fox is aiming at distracting viewers with stuff like Biden's cognitive decline, etc.
