Latest denial of disaster funding comes as Trump has repeatedly stated he wants to eliminate FEMA

Donald Trump has denied federal disaster relief funds to the people of Arkansas, which saw dozens of people die from a series of deadly tornados last month, so legislators are pleading for him to reconsider.

More than 40 people have been found dead after a series of tornados and severe storms hit Arkansas and neighboring states Mississippi and Missouri in March, according to CNN.

Given the scale of the disaster, the state’s Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee, requested federal disaster aid as a part of an emergency declaration. That request was later denied by the Trump administration.

    They’ll blame liberals and vote for Trump. I’d bet money on it.

    Look, I do not relish in other people’s suffering. But at some point there is only so much I can do and say, before the fruits of your choices are 110% on you.

    This is obviously a statement on the vocal majority of the region. For those that aren’t idiot assholes and are suffering, I am sorry and please let us know what we can do.
