    The Trump administration has totally cut funding & services from all federal agencies helping the North Carolina Helene flood victims. This includes all the agencies including FEMA, CDC, DOT, SBA and other federal agencies --- all the Helene support & funding has been cut to North Carolina. Primarily because we have a Democratic governor and therefore he considers us a "blue state" -- despite most of the flood victims being Trump voters.

    Let's see what Trump said previously about helping those recovering from Helene --

    One of the very first promises that President Donald Trump made upon taking office was to help those who were still recovering from Hurricane Helene. Western North Carolina had “been abandoned by the Democrats,” he said. His administration would be different, however. Or so he claimed.

    “Biden did a bad job. … This is totally unacceptable and I’ll be taking strong action to get North Carolina the support that you need to quickly recover and rebuild,” Trump said when visiting the region in January.


    So much for Trump's promises for getting North Carolina the support to quickly recover and rebuild.

    Trump made promises to Helene victims. His administration is breaking them
