Washington Post: “Trump has been trying to weaponize the Hurricane Helene relief efforts, accusing the Biden administration of failing to provide adequate assistance. As part of his critique, he claims that there is no money available for hurricane relief because it was spent already to handle the surge of migrants at the southern border.”

“Trump’s claims have been echoed by his supporters, such as billionaire Elon Musk. But Trump is completely wrong.”

“Even though Trump was once president, he still appears to have little clue about the appropriations process. What’s even richer is that when he was president, he did exactly what he claims Biden did — take money from FEMA’s disaster fund to fund migrant programs at the southern border.”

1. Repubs claim credit for things they are against and try to blame Dems for the horrible things they did themselves.

They count on this. If they speak out of both sides of their mouths then people who take things at face value hear what they want to hear.
