Trump views ALL US money as HIS. That's why he doesn't want govt to pay energency relief, etc

Paying states or individuals to help them deal with fire, flood, storm damage IS TAKING MONEY OUT OF HIS POCKET

I just realized that's the basic reason he doesn't want to help

Yeah, he has zero empathy etc

But basically IMHO, he thinks all the US govt money really belongs by right to him!!!

They can’t abide using it to make people’s lives better. They despise the poor.

to steal some of that money from the taxpayers when he golfs, I am sure he is doing his best to find even more ways to get more money before he gets voted out of office. After all getting all he can from the treasury has been his goal from day one, and of course we can't forget his kickbacks on no bid contracts, deals with other countries, and all those ventilators they over paid for!

I believe the reason why he doesn't want FEMA to pay for emergency relief is there isn't any money or enough money. And remember that Trump with his EO told states that he would pay $3 out of $4 in federal unemployment benefits, with the $3 being taken out of FEMA funds. Suppose Texas and Louisiana opted for that deal; that would mean no money for disasters in their respective states.

Bit by bit he has put in his enablers and gotten rid of people who believe in our constitution and democracy.

tRUMP is so pissed that benefits are paid to recipients without him getting a large cut out of it.

every dollar in another man’s pocket was a dollar not in his pocket.

I read this in Mary Trump’s book about Trump.
