Vaughn Hillyard is furious and it's great to see someone speaking with the rage that millions of us are experiencing all alone.
Thank you Vaughn Hillyard for speaking for me.

[lyndagabriel]

I like how angry Vaughn appears to be. People should be angry and need to see the anger of good people. Anger is the emotion of change.

[brandonmonroe]

He's been trash since the 70s and now that we know that he will be

FEMA people maybe God Bless you for all that you are doing to help the American people. 🙏

The callous disregard is absolutely heart shattering. How can anyone vote for this monster? He is unfit.

Chump's Top 3 Priorities:
1. Me
2. What can you do for me.
3. Will this make me look good.
Anybody and anything that does not fall into one of those priorities gets thrown under the bus ... no exceptions.
People dying (e.g. Hurricanes, COVID, school shootings, etc.) does not make Chump look good, so they don't exist.

Australian here and I remember Puerto Rico, at the time I could not believe the callous, brutal, wilful disregard and abandonment by the Dumpster

Why doesn't Elon give each state $1 million towards the relief?

[jockyoung]

It's just more of the same brattiness, and his cult still loves him.

[ritagraybill]

How anyone could vote for this man is shocking.
His disregard for people and focus on himself makes me ill.

[donnydummy]

Thats what he does...a man with no grievance and

National disasters are a time for parties to come together, not blame! This is very telling of who is for us. Thank you all local, state, and federal people are helping our fellow Americans.

[HHHWLH]

All Trump does is whine, whine and whine. Whining all the time. I am so tired of hearing him whine.

[Dennis_]

How pathetic must you be to support Trump in 2024

[GregA]

Where is Trump and his sharpie to help turn the storm away?

[niclewis]

Trumps not fit to be President again.
"As a Homeland Security Advisor in the Trump administration, I witnessed first hand how Donald Trump politicized disaster relief, leaving devastated Americans waiting for help"
