Column: thoughts and prayers? Sure, but keep the Trump administration

“I’ll give you everything you want,” President Trump told residents who hit at disaster and local officials. “I will give you more than any president your president has given you.”

That in January, in Los Angeles, at the conclusion of disasters Palisades and food fires. If Trump could state such a generation, usually the blue-state butt of his partisan jabs and threats,, Think about what he would say to the Red-State Texans on Friday when he visited the mountainous flood hill, where it was usually easy-to-go Guadalupe River moves mass killer in the fourth July.

He sure promises that the Federal government does not turn off the cost. (Note: California still awaiting.) But words are cheap, especially with challenged Trump. Even the President, who played the warbucks of the Father, promised money at the moment, he must be held in unexpected federal funds and a process pleasure On Tuesday at Always coming to the Supreme Court) – And not least the gutting important agencies that predict time, warned the storms and then help Americans recover from disasters.

Trump doesn’t blame the death and destruction of Texas. But raising questions about the impact of him, and the unprotected Elon Musk’s, no government running through government offices do not “Terrified and Recent,” As the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt finished on Monday. The government only focuses on it, which is, for sure, a foreign concept of a president who is accustomed to the puppy. . “Biden set-up.”)

Within a decade today, Trump took advantage of the government’s refusal, even if he was on its head. But Americans don’t like the government until they need it, and they hope it keeps them safe. Because Trump took the Musk Chainawaw to Federal agencies, with the claim of the majority of Congress’ Republican Porives, he NEED Defense arrive from here for each emergency, crisis and tragedy that may be restricted or at least motivated by federal action.

Most of the proposed Trump and Tested cuts have not been made. Some say, cutbacks in Public Health Health and Scientifical Scientific Research – may not be completely felt for years. Although although the administration decreases, eliminating and withdrawals cannot be this time, in this tragedy, what is next? Because There is one next time.

Consider: Climate change is shown turbochacharging the number and energy of severe storms, but Trump’s budget calls for the end The national intense storm laboratory, pioneering to predict technology for many years.

This way over time to ignore the familiar post-catastrophe mantra that people should not lead to danger by raising questions, rejecting thoughts and prayers. We heard this in recent days not only from Leavitt preferences, but also from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and his fellow Republic, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who Inok further cutting funds to predict time as part of A big bad bill That Trump signs the law of the fourth, as the Texans do the flood flood flood.

The victims more. We’re all doing.

For several months Trump took office and began his blow on the day of the day with executive orders, experts involved during the time of time.

Just to mention an example: back in April, Rep. Zoe Lofgren in San Jose, the Senior Democrat of the Home Committee in charge of the National Weather Service, COMPLAINANT (Administered frequently?

So if we have a natural disaster like that in Texas, where survivors are lamenting in insufficient warnings, why is Lofgren or anyone to be quiet and pray? It is political, but also the Democratic Leader of Democratic Sedate Chuck Schumer in New York ASK An investigation if the lack of time-service staff contributes to Texas death in Texas. A Republican, Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran, Texas’s condition is quoted in a senate hearing On Wednesday to complain that federal federal federal seizure also leaves his state and other short of meteorologist, and no 24/7 coverage of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas in May.

Early evidence and anecdotes suggest that federal fealcasters make their work on the flooding texans Hours in advance. but Years of Penny-Pinching and Antitax Shaal at local and state level, especially, it is meant to be the region – known to be “Flash Flood Alley” – No system will be placed enough to send warners’ warnings in the countryside at night.

However Feds – Trump is mainly – there are many more answers. The National Oceicic and Atmosphere Administration, which includes National Weather Service, one of first target in his misdeed department of government efficiency at the best. Trumpet As He wants to fully resume the Federal Emergency Management Agency Agency.

Months before the storm, a union official representing time service personnel, Tom Fali, told The New York Times that its offices around the country “struggled to maintain operations” among the agency “severe disabilities” of meteorologists and other employees. After the storm, it is said that vacancies of vacancies in both offices take care of the country of Texas Hill Bayud Double what they were when Trump took office. Long “Warning coordination meteorologist” for the country hill in April announced that he “Sad” To end his career between administrative condacks and retirement offers.

A local media outlets that have funded to leave the man: “The importance of experience” at work he held “is not known.” Abbott will be defended, as he should. “Who will blame?” The three term governor eat to a reporter on Tuesday. “That’s the word choosing the lost.” Expected the more a felony when GUV greeted his friend, the President, Friday – from men – should have some suggestive that they have anyone to blame.

Are missing? If the word fits …
