President Trump has denied a request from Minnesota’s governor for money to rebuild parts of Minneapolis that were destroyed during the riots following the death of George Floyd.
“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's office said in a statement. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”
Walz, a Democrat, requested that Trump declare Minnesota a “major disaster” zone in a request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency on July 2 after more than 1,500 buildings were damaged by looting and rioting in the wake of Floyd’s death, totaling over $500 million in damages.
At least one Republican in the state had lobbied the Trump administration to reject the request, arguing that the state’s response to the unrest should be thoroughly reviewed.
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT, THANK YOU!
YEAH!!!
YOU LET IT HAPPEN AND ENCOURAGED THE DESTRUCTION..EMBRACE THESUCK.
The disaster was letting the lawless run rampant instead of treating them as they deserved to be treated.
Only if they erect a 10 ft statue of Trump on the town square.
It was all part of the plan. Systematically destroy American cities. Obama imported many people to these area’s knowing fully what would occur. Socialists Dem have a win win here. Destroy cities, remove American history and divide people on race.
Assist individual businesses, screw the State.
