Why is JD being pressed on this issue when Kamala and Biden should be getting pressed...They're the sitting president and vice president.

[xCestLaVie]

Why aren't reporters pressing Kamala Harris?

[j.p.]

$750 is an insult not help . What a vile person !!!

[davidhandyman]

Harri has just pledged $157 million to Lebanon. Where is that coming from and why is it going to a foreign power that supports terrorism?

[brody]

she didn't have 4 years to fix this she had 4 years to make this problem. cost of living under her is death.

[lynnhildaswartwood]

And now she pledged funds AGAIN, this time for Lebanon! And this is who many AMERICANS want as their president??? This is shameful, disgraceful, and downright disrespectful to ALL taxpaying citizens of this country!

[ModelAaliyahAustin-ki]

Is it really that hard to see that Kamala Harris lacks the ability to empathize genuinely with people's suffering?
Trump and his campaign have already launched a gofund me and raised over $4 million in less than two days...This is separate from the tens of million in relief that he's personally donated..

[SENSEF]

Vance didn't make the $750 decision. Go ask the President and Vice Presidential! Hold them accountable!

[glendatrujillo]

They spent 9k for every ILLEGAL Immigrant at tax payer expense! It is very insulting.

[russelllabrousse]

This clown show of FJB and Kamala Harris needs to go now this is disgusting!!!

[Jujitsuqueen]

750.00 lousy bucks, while Ukraine President’s daughter is throwing out 100.00 dollar bills from a sun roof on a G Wagon.
I’m disgusted!

[Daregrad]

$157 million to Lebanon while our own people suffer

[Scarletohellno]

I love the rank and file democrat supporters trying to clean up this scandal.
“They didn’t use FEMA billions on illegals!! That was different FEMAa billions”. LOL

[PaulStellwagSr.]

The fact that the $750.00 is a LOAN and not a help at all. These brothers and sisters LOST EVERYTHING, family, homes businesses and the things they worked so hard for ALL THEIR LIVES just to be DISRESPECTED by the bullsh*t 750 dollar LOAN. These people NEED HELP and the Government is letting the dead float around offering absolutely NO HELP OR RELIEF IN ANY WAY!!! This is NOT the America I grew up in.

[chrisministerofsmartarsery]

Maybe the areas destroyed should identify as Ukraine? They'd get Billions in aid.

[donnagarner]

She should've had a fund raiser for the victims!!
She's worthless.

[janebeatty]

YOU got THAT RIGHT JD 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯 PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP THROUGH GOD WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING BACK OUR COUNTRY 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

[charlessoler]

Worst emergency disaster response in history. Disgraceful.

[Lasslye]

Exactly! SHE IS NOT A LEADER! NEVER WILL BE!!

[gloriayancey]

This is a shame the people lost everything
