In another “you have got to be kidding” moment, Trump announces on Twitter that he’s giving special treatment to Alabama.
FEMA has been told directly by me to give the A Plus treatment to the Great State of Alabama and the wonderful people who have been so devastated by the Tornadoes. @GovernorKayIvey, one of the best in our Country, has been so informed. She is working closely with FEMA (and me!).

Many observers are asking, with some heat, why he is “telling FEMA directly” to give Alabama “the A plus treatment” when he didn’t do so in the case of Puerto Rico or of California. Shouldn’t “the A plus treatment” be standard after a major disaster? Isn’t that what FEMA is for? Surely the president of the US isn’t directing better emergency relief to states that vote Republican than he directs to states that vote Democratic or have too many brown people…is he? (I wonder if he realizes African-Americans make up about 25% of Alabama’s population. Legacy of cotton-belt slavery, my dude.)
After the largest wildfires in California’s history, Trump threatened to withhold FEMA funds from the devastated families who lost their homes and loved ones and blamed the state for “poor Forrest management.” He literally gave the state his F treatment. pic.twitter.com/6zYT5S52Vw

When Trump learned about this heartbreaking death toll, he literally tweeted that he thought only 64 people died “then, like magic, 3000 PEOPLE KILLED.” “NO WAY!”
How totally cruel for a President who learned the death toll was higher than initially thought. They are Americans. pic.twitter.com/UOkdK1iKQO

Wish we had a President who cared about all Americans whether they live in a red state, blue state, or US territory.
Wish we had a President who gives the A plus treatment to everyone who loses their families and homes whether they are Republican, Democrat, or Independent.

More like his FU treatment.
You know, I’m starting to think that one of these days you fellows ought to reign this chap in a bit.
You find us the rein that will hold him, and I will don my full body armor (so I can’t be grabbed) and install the rein.
latsot, I believe that many Americans once said that about King George III. There were repercussions, one of which was something about ensuring that no tyrant would ever again rule over the country.
AoS, yeah, and look how that worked out.
