After repeatedly attacking and criticizing President Trump, the State of California is officially asking for his help as they have run short of resources in wake of severe weather that has caused significant damage in the state.
From Fox40:
Gov. Jerry Brown has asked President Trump to declare a major disaster for California because of damage from January storms.
The letter sent Friday says the relentless series of storms caused flooding, mudslides, evacuations, erosion, power outages and at least eight deaths. Northern California was hardest hit.
Brown says the storm system was so severe and widespread that state and local governments need federal assistance to continue dealing with the problems it created.
Governor Brown has made his disgust for President Trump known in the past as Breitbart reports that back in March of 2016 Governor Brown said “If Trump were ever elected, we’d have to build a wall around California to defend ourselves from the rest of this country,” which Brown later said was “a joke.”
In addition to snarky comments made from Brown, add in the hateful rhetoric of Maxine Waters who is calling from Trump’s impeachment because in her words, “This is the most outrageous and ridiculous President that this country has ever had.” That statement pretty much embodies how most of the politicians in California feel about President Trump.
Also consider Calexit. There is a growing movement in California to leave the rest of the United States since the state has become so liberal that it doesn’t come even close to where most states are at politically.
Then throw in the ruling of the Ninth Circuit Court (located in CA) this last week which blocked Trump’s Travel Ban and put the country at risk and now President Trump has a decision to make.
President Trump will almost certainly provide aide if it is needed in the state as it is the right thing to do but Californians should be careful about viciously attacking the President and then turning around and asking for a handout.
Brown, a world famous Libtard, is a cancer on California and the USA. He should be removed from office. They think Obama was a good President and treat President Trump with scorn?
Ridiculous!
I recall Obama telling Texas to go to hell numerous times on disaster relief
Punk
If they hadn’t spent so much servicing illegal aliens, they would’ve been able to keep up with the necessary maintenance of Oroville dam.
On their own...calexit.
no one checked this dam for damage? It’s been raining for 5 months. How is this a surprise?
Calexit and their San Francisco court, let them fix their own problems. Call Meryl Streep for help
Obama also denied Nashville disaster funds when it flooded
It was purely a snub to whiter bible clinger 2nd amendment types
Watch these pigs squeal if trump denies them
Our media and the left are pigs
Where’s Meryl Streep when they need her...let her make an empassioned plea to all the Cali illegals to join together and reb1uild the dam...and hey.. aren’t a lot of them working for landscapers and moving companies? Looks like a windfall for Me-hi-2co!
The taxpayers in Calif have paid up and now and deserve relief. To withhold relief would be wrong. Creating sanctuary cities is also wrong. ARREST those who do so.
Paybacks come naturally.
mmmmbut they have money for illegals, to pay their legal defense , and harbor them.
You get nothing CA until you follow the law
Seems like the classy thing would be to wait until federal assistance is offered. California- You can dress her up but you can’t take her anywhere...And if you ever do, keep her away from Michigan.
I’m sure Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, George Clooney, Leonardo DeCaprio, Sean Penn, Madonna, Sarah Silvereman, all the women on the View, etc...would pitch him a few million apiece. You know because they are sooo concerned about the environment and social causes with their bleeding hearts and Trump hatred who is sooo evil because he wants to remove the EPA and won’t participate in in the Paris Accord on climate change...
These people need relief and we should give it to them, but I want reciprocity for the bible belt and I don’t want to hear any global warming BS from Ca and the MSM
I just don’t see President Trump being petty like Obama.
He will surely help Californians-many of whom did vote for him-while still managing to slap Moonbeam like the bitch he is.
+1
I hope Trump is presidential in this. Lives are at stake. It will be a nice chit to cash in later, or at least a talking point to bring up later.
US taxpayers have paid up, too.
What happened to all that stimulus money that was voted for “shovel-ready” jobs?
Screw California.
No relief as long as they are breaking the law with sanctuary cities.
California still expects for Uncle Sam to bail them out after their free spending spree.
Go CALEXIT and take your God Damned Geraniums with you!
