12. According to Trump: "We don't need NO MONEY for Disaster relief!"

"The states should take care of that!"

States like Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, W.Virginia, South and North Carolina, DO NOT have the Tax generated revenue structures to pay for Disaster relief. Hurricanes, flooding from big storms, tornadoes, and severe droughts, are a result of deforestation, mining, and Climate Change.

Texas it is said, could be "its own country". It could finance its own disaster relief. But other poorer states are not financially set to even provide for basic services.
