The wrong person is in control to help Americans. And helping Americans is not supporting Trump. Ask the state if and how the biden administration has helped before listening to Trump.
They don’t have to live that way…they chose to live that way. FEMA isn’t a catch all its a support system to aide you while you recover, thru your insurance company. Trump started a rumor that if you take govt help they will take your property, then there were the self made militias that fired upon aide workers ….but you still have to apply….but these hillbilly yahoos are ignorant and listening to these guys shows it.
Unfortunately doesn't build homes. They provide funding to help those affected by disasters, but they can't pay 100% of the loss. That's why we need to have homeowners and, if you live anywhere near water or in a low-lying area, flood insurance.
I see 14 degrees Fahrenheit regularly in the morning lately. I cannot imagine how bad it is for the people just up the mountain from me living in tents still. :(
Lol. That's funny. Trump's going to get rid of FEMA but he isn't going to give you any cash. He wants all states to take care of themselves. Careful what you vote for.
Someone has to distribute it and make sure it goes to the right people. Forget FEMA, I now think FEMA was about friends helping other friends make a profit of of disaster areas.
@ yes, I’ve seen FEMA here in Oklahoma every spring, I still don’t know what all they do for anyone, it’s the churches that jump into action every time and meet needs. I agree, FEMA is a big money laundering scene.
I agree! Create a similar emergency management department at each state level like each state has its own bureau of investigation that is separate from its federal counterpart.
Trump is done with FEMA , they are so irresponsible . Bass and her cronies who represent Newsom were at the panel , desperately trying to convince Trump to get them in. He said he will give the money straight to the people and letting them built on their own. No permits required . Bass is A$ $ and I knew she would be , It's why. I volunteered for Caruso in 2022 campaign . Newsom has his next cronies line up to run for Governor in 2026 and that's AG Rob Bonta
Actually Trump said the money should be directed to the states to manage their own disasters because the cost of FEMA costs 3 times more and they aren't doing the job . ALSO Florida's Ron Desantis is suing the federal government for discrimination over the way FEMA treated Floridians . America has not forgotten North Carolina we are all praying and helping how we can ❤
It’s not just that it’s been four months, but because they are living in the mountains during a very cold winter. Not all places in the south are mild in the winter.
These precious people have watched their homes float down the damn river and left on their own to try and repair their lives. May god continue to be with them at every step😊
@@poppyrowland1385 ~ So many did help with everyday things. But rebuilding is very large undertaking & it is expensive and roads also need to be put back in.
We have decided not to donate money to FEMA anymore. We are cancelling our flood insurance. We aren't in a flood zone, only had it the last 2 years - just because you never know, but if they can't even help the people that actually need it, then I'm done.
@@ladonnaghareeb4609the top states that routinely take billions in federal funding (red states) who don’t have the money to bail themselves out. Most of those states who take federal aid also are the poorest with the highest rates of unemployment, infant mortality, and lowest incomes.
FEMA has provided more than $316 million in cash grants to Western North Carolina survivors, including more than $6.2 million in rental assistance. The U.S. Small Business Administration has also approved more than $213 million in low-interest loans to help survivors. Those loans are 0% interest for the first year. What a horrible responce ...lmao😂 What has the state done , ill wait😂

Open your eyes Biden administration accomplished a lot!! California has always had forest fires nothing new out there! Easy fix don’t live out there!!!
FEMA failed us-“a heroic helicopter pilot faced the unimaginable when he was threatened with arrest for attempting to rescue a woman stranded after Hurricane Helene, while her husband remained behind. This brave volunteer, Jordan Seidhom, successfully saved the wife but was forced to abandon the mission under pressure from a fire official who insisted he would be arrested if he returned for the husband. This situation highlights a troubling reality: when individuals step up to help in emergencies, they should not be met with bureaucratic obstacles that put lives at risk.” Still no aid to tens of thousands of residents. 4 mo with no aid, while illegal migrants get free housing, food & healthcare paid for by American taxpayers. Thank you to President Trump🇱🇷 a true leader of the American people🦅
You just voted for the wealthiest cabinet in the history of the United States, with the richest man in the world leading the charge. You just sold out the entire country, not just North Carolina. thanks a lot. The country will descend deeply and quickly into tyranny and oligarchy. Just watch and see.
I can answer that.... and I am Canadian. I know more about wtf is going on in the US than you do. Here are a few things Biden did over 4 years... if you can read. Economic Growth and Job Creation Nearly 15 million jobs created since 2021 750,000 new manufacturing jobs Established $15 minimum wage for Federal workers and contractors Companies have announced nearly $300 billion in manufacturing investments in the United States Enacted the Inflation Reduction Act, which lowers costs for families, combats the climate crisis, reduces the deficit, and finally makes the largest corporations pay their fair share Near record low unemployment rates for the Hispanic and African-American communities Record low unemployment rate for people with disabilities Infrastructure Infrastructure investments in all 50 states, D.C., territories, and throughout Tribal nations, to rebuild or add new highways, bridges, and rail.

Hosted the first White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health in over 50 years and released a National Strategy to end hunger and reduce diet-related diseases and disparities by 2030. Four out of five people who sign up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act can find health care coverage for $10 a month or less, and millions of Americans on Obamacare are saving an average of $800 a year. Combined 50 percent increase in enrollment in states that use HealthCare.gov and the nation’s uninsured rate is historically low at 8 percent.

Early 2023, announced a plan to provide millions of borrowers with more affordable monthly student loan payments through changes to income-driven repayment plans. Just facts.
Where I live, we took the direct hit of Hurricane Ida in 2021. The storm destroyed the town. It took three years to get FEMA funds to rebuild two small bridges that served a small community located on the edge of the parish (county).
He is right I live in Lake lure, NC There is so many old retired people here who are living in tents and 5th wheels It is has been in the teens at night for weeks I fared much better then my neighbors. I want NOTHING from the government and neither do the very my very proud neighbors but if we are going to destroy America by spending money on south Africa and Ukraine, then at least help Americans.. Our greasy Democratic governor had the national guard here for top weeks and he sent them home. There has been very little help for these people except churches, volunteers and each other. My elderly neighbors have cried when we showed up to help. Joe biding flow over this area on the way to a fund raiser 4 months ago. I have not seen ONE FEMA worker and I am right in the middle of this mess. Biden is a disgrace.
DOUBLE TALK. If you don't want help, don't take it, but do not try to justify wanting help because help is being sent elsewhere. Republicans thrive on the BLAME GAME. That is a 5-year-olds mentality. If you meant it, own it, without blame.
Can we stop pretending the government has done nothing? I was impacted by Helene and saw hundreds of choppers fly overhead during the first two weeks of the disaster. I've seen FEMA agents too. Tons of government contractors busting their asses to repair roads and restore infrastructure, and you're over here pretending the government isn't doing its job. Stop spreading lies just because you have anti-authority sentiments.
Show the woman please that cried and said she was a hillbilly…That’s US! I love her, and love she said that! People have labeled us hardworking people for years with that word and make us look like we are worthless. You will never see such loving, grateful, caring, and friendly people us our people. If we even had one coat and a neighbor, or even a stranger were freezing, that coat would go off and that person would be warmed by it. I hope post that clip! It is eye opening and shows the real people in this area😌
@Garywhitetrumphobgobbler failed where. He has been in office 4 days and was in office before Biden and everything was great. You are so blinded by hate.

He is working instead on talking, already making plans to visit the devastated areas of the country. Whether you like it or not, he is our president for the next four years and he is not going anywhere, i suggest you be part of the solution, not the problem… so quit being sour and complain; instead, start working, helping those around you, and loving this country
Why didn't he bring any aid with him? All he said is I'm going to make this an issue for the states...you people are seriously suffering from some kind of cognitive dissonance.
@@Thyalwaysseek ~ You cannot take action to rebuild an area when you are not in office. He was made our President 4 days ago and he arrived there today. We do not know if he helped them with supplies when he visited in October, but he probably did.
Thank God sleazy criminal biden is history. We have a real President again who puts Americans first. Prayers 🙏 for everyone that has suffered through this.
I just fled from NC and moved back to my home state of NH. I did not want to leave but I lost everything and I am LUCKY that I still had family north. It broke my heart to leave everything I worked so hard for behind and destroyed. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO HELP!!!!!!!! And when people or neighbors wanted to help they were and still are gettin turned away. I miss it down there in the mountains and the people of Asheville but I’m simply thankful and bless to be alive. God bless and watch over all the people continuing to suffer and may our lord be with Trump as he reconciles the torn landscapes of our great country. ❤️❤
Rand Paul tried to get unused money from the infrastructure bill allocated for this months ago and I believe both sides shot it down. Wouldn’t rebuilding places devastated from disasters qualify as rebuilding infrastructure? I guess taking care of our own just doesn’t fit their financial goals.
I cannot imagine losing 11 family members at once. 😥 Thank God there's finally competent leadership at the top to help these devestated communities. Whatever our political affiliations, our fellow citizens should always be helped. I'm just thankful they're finally going to get what they need to rebuild.
President Trump mentioned getting the Corps of Engineers to come in and help! That is what needs to happen! I SALUTE President Trump and First Lady Melania for visiting NC to see firsthand what needs to be done! The damages are horrific. The personal stories that were shared in President Trump's presence just broke my heart!!! I've prayed and prayed for these people and I will continue to pray for substantial help to keep coming to bring restoration and hope to the residents who have suffered and are continuing to struggle through very difficult times! May God bless them and keep them safe! Deep condolences to those who have lost loved ones in the floods! It's saddened me deeply to hear the stories of tragic losses!!!✝🙏❤🕊
I can’t believe what a great president Donald Trump is! Going to Asheville standing outside in the cold and actually listening to the people’s testimonials! Adjusting the microphone for that little woman was the sweetest thing. I’m so glad Melania joined him. Finally!
Melania was always with him during his first term, touring the border and the beautiful shelters for the kids, with room full of computers, learning center, nice rooms with bunkbeds, Toy room, all accommodations. They came to the border multiple times. She looks really protective of him now, after all of the things they have done to him. He is a great president. 🙂
Where's the help he promised? The problem is you just want to idolize him instead of insisting he make good on his word, when he left these people still have nothing and no idea when they will get any help.
@@YaYaPaBla Really? When? He could have had it mobilized on day one, he could have brought a convoy of aid down there with him today. What difference has he actually made to any of these people today? They are no better off after his visit than they were before he got there. Maybe you should raise the bar a bit higher for what you expect from your billionaire politicians.
I noticed something in these stories I’ve never seen concerning any other US President, the Presidential vehicle had mud on the tires yesterday. That’s awesome! That speaks volumes about our new President and how he’s not afraid or too entitled to go to the front lines and into the heart of the devastated areas! God Bless America and God bless and protect President Trump!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The reporter through in the, "even people that are not Trump supporters." How can anyone living there be a Biden supporter? Sick of journalists always putting a spin on things.
It's ok that he said that - the hatred between fellow countrymen that is the spoil of politics can only be solved by people having their minds changed for them, if they're not willing or incapable of changing them for themselves. If you can't tell sh-t from Shinola - try putting some of the former on your shoes - and buffing.
Are you able to think outside of your left/right paradigm, you know that there are actually people who exist that don't trust either side of politics...wow just imagine that for a second.
Another example of what FJB has done to this country! It is a crime IMHO! My heart aches for the people here and FEMA has proven to America how inept they are. Thank God for President Trump! Prayers and Blessings to everyone affected by this horrible situation!❤❤❤
This just shows how unprepared the state and Federal government is for a disaster like this. For the life of me I can’t understand why the military wasn’t sent in to build roads and bridges and clear debris. Just a total failure of leadership.
People cant even get to their houses still to see if they lost pets or grandparents. The roads are wiped out. Its the communities there that are delivering water and food. Elon tried to deliver starlink for free but they wouldnt let him
it has been 4 months. It is your responsibility as a pet parent to bring your pets no matter the situation. Humans not sure what to tell you if not see in 4 months probably ghosts now.
@@officermikey6819 I was talking about pets. Farm animals if you have a flood warning you tend to move them to higher grounds. Cows will follow your lead. A horse becomes transportation. Chickens can be be caged and moved. Although more difficult of a task if is grow house. Basically if you own a farm you should have trailers so with ample warning you can move livestock if a smaller farm.
@@davidwarren3433 I am not here to argue with you. If it is a matter of life and death I would risk trespassing. Just be happy in your mind know there was a lot of ghost animals and people during this tragedy. Keep living in your bubble world thinking you are safe from everything. I am in NC and surviving a flood is a group effort not a you against I situation.
He's just there to score of points he doesn't give a damn about the people or their property. He's just there to score points he's as phoney as they come 😢🙏
FEMA is a mess took supplies from Maui citizens because it was not FEMA authorized. Disgraceful. Guess when they are there no one else can help. Horrible organization.. How much of a control freak do you have to be to take away sealed bottled water and food from survivors, because generous people gave.
For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth” 🍃✨Acts 13:47
America should take care of Americans before helping anyone else.
The wrong person is in control to help Americans. And helping Americans is not supporting Trump. Ask the state if and how the biden administration has helped before listening to Trump.
Living in tents in the middle of winter unacceptable
Sorry for American citizens

Exactly, Trump didn't deliver anything for them that he promised just made it a political rally.

@@bobbrinkerhoff3592 You beat me to it.
Where I live, we took the direct hit of Hurricane Ida in 2021. The storm destroyed the town. It took three years to get FEMA funds to rebuild two small bridges that served a small community located on the edge of the parish (county).
He is right I live in Lake lure, NC There is so many old retired people here who are living in tents and 5th wheels It is has been in the teens at night for weeks I fared much better then my neighbors. I want NOTHING from the government and neither do the very my very proud neighbors but if we are going to destroy America by spending money on south Africa and Ukraine, then at least help Americans.. Our greasy Democratic governor had the national guard here for top weeks and he sent them home. There has been very little help for these people except churches, volunteers and each other. My elderly neighbors have cried when we showed up to help. Joe biding flow over this area on the way to a fund raiser 4 months ago. I have not seen ONE FEMA worker and I am right in the middle of this mess. Biden is a disgrace.
They tried to delete the elderly!! Wicked Democrats.
Amen
Does fema send money?
DOUBLE TALK. If you don't want help, don't take it, but do not try to justify wanting help because help is being sent elsewhere. Republicans thrive on the BLAME GAME. That is a 5-year-olds mentality.
If you meant it, own it, without blame.
Can we stop pretending the government has done nothing? I was impacted by Helene and saw hundreds of choppers fly overhead during the first two weeks of the disaster. I've seen FEMA agents too. Tons of government contractors busting their asses to repair roads and restore infrastructure, and you're over here pretending the government isn't doing its job. Stop spreading lies just because you have anti-authority sentiments.
Cut off ANY AND ALL MONEY LEAVING OUR BORDER,
Trump said there will be no foreign aid until this is fixed first.
NOOOOO NOOOO NOOOO!
Meanwhile billions are being sent to Ukraine
Not anymore!
Not anymore bub 🇺🇸
The Biden administration sent almost 2 billion dollars of hurricane relief for North Carolina and surrounding areas.
Thanks criminal politicians
I really thought I was going to be the first to say that. But I'm happy I'm not alone
Show the woman please that cried and said she was a hillbilly…That’s US! I love her, and love she said that!
People have labeled us hardworking people for years with that word and make us look like we are worthless. You will never see such loving, grateful, caring, and friendly people us our people.

And how is he gonna do that?, Mr know everything.
Thank God biden is gone with his sleazy criminal self. We finally have a real President again.
@@hpickettz34well.. i don’t have all the answers honestly, i will have to wait and see, he’s just sworn in as the president and it’s only been a couple days since he took the office, but I have to say i like what I’ve seen during these past couple days! He is working instead on talking, already making plans to visit the devastated areas of the country. Whether you like it or not, he is our president for the next four years and he is not going anywhere, i suggest you be part of the solution, not the problem… so quit being sour and complain; instead, start working, helping those around you, and loving this country
@@hpickettz34 still can't over that Harris lost huh lol

What are the salaries for Fema employees? It should be disclosed.
This why we love President Trump. He is a man of ACTION.
HE is the one I saw just days after alonh with his son and Elon Musk. God bless!!😊😊
I’ve never seen a such heartwarming act from a politician in my life. Complete 180 and going forward 🥰
Why didn't he bring any aid with him? All he said is I'm going to make this an issue for the states...you people are seriously suffering from some kind of cognitive dissonance.
@@ThyalwaysseekHe said he wanted to see how much damage so he can get an amount and go from there. Just stop. At least he is trying to help them.
@@dianna3221 He was there in October, are you purposely being obtuse?
@@Thyalwaysseek ~ You cannot take action to rebuild an area when you are not in office. He was made our President 4 days ago and he arrived there today. We do not know if he helped them with supplies when he visited in October, but he probably did.
Have you seen the color of his money, or just heard his promises.?
Exactly, never know how severe it is until now
Thank God sleazy criminal biden is history. We have a real President again who puts Americans first. Prayers 🙏 for everyone that has suffered through this.
I just fled from NC and moved back to my home state of NH. I did not want to leave but I lost everything and I am LUCKY that I still had family north. It broke my heart to leave everything I worked so hard for behind and destroyed. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO HELP!!!!!!!! And when people or neighbors wanted to help they were and still are gettin turned away. I miss it down there in the mountains and the people of Asheville but I’m simply thankful and bless to be alive. God bless and watch over all the people continuing to suffer and may our lord be with Trump as he reconciles the torn landscapes of our great country. ❤️❤
Hopefully, he goes back quarterly so he can speak to the residents and let them tell him what has transpired since his last visit.
About time attention is being brought to this! Thank you President Trump! I voted for this transparency!
😂😂😂
President Trump has always been transparent to the American people
@ exactly why I and many others voted for him 3 times over
You wouldn't think there would be a democrat left in the mountains of North Carolina.
Rand Paul tried to get unused money from the infrastructure bill allocated for this months ago and I believe both sides shot it down. Wouldn’t rebuilding places devastated from disasters qualify as rebuilding infrastructure? I guess taking care of our own just doesn’t fit their financial goals.
Get used to it. Soundly going to get worse.
that is on trump
Thanks You,President Trump, for letting those people in. N.C. know they haven't been forgotten
Where is all the aid he promised them?
I cannot imagine losing 11 family members at once. 😥 Thank God there's finally competent leadership at the top to help these devestated communities. Whatever our political affiliations, our fellow citizens should always be helped. I'm just thankful they're finally going to get what they need to rebuild.
President Trump mentioned getting the Corps of Engineers to come in and help! That is what needs to happen! I SALUTE President Trump and First Lady Melania for visiting NC to see firsthand what needs to be done! The damages are horrific. The personal stories that were shared in President Trump's presence just broke my heart!!! I've prayed and prayed for these people and I will continue to pray for substantial help to keep coming to bring restoration and hope to the residents who have suffered and are continuing to struggle through very difficult times! May God bless them and keep them safe! Deep condolences to those who have lost loved ones in the floods! It's saddened me deeply to hear the stories of tragic losses!!!✝🙏❤🕊
When will they arrive?
What a caring president finally❤❤❤
Finally!!
Didn’t he just tell someone that States should deal with catastrophes on their own? (Here’s your roll of paper towels! Good luck!)

I can’t believe what a great president Donald Trump is! Going to Asheville standing outside in the cold and actually listening to the people’s testimonials! Adjusting the microphone for that little woman was the sweetest thing. I’m so glad Melania joined him. Finally!
Melania was always with him during his first term, touring the border and the beautiful shelters for the kids, with room full of computers, learning center, nice rooms with bunkbeds, Toy room, all accommodations. They came to the border multiple times. She looks really protective of him now, after all of the things they have done to him. He is a great president. 🙂
It's president Trump and 1st lady's anniversary today! And they spent it with ppl in need ❤
Where's the help he promised? The problem is you just want to idolize him instead of insisting he make good on his word, when he left these people still have nothing and no idea when they will get any help.
@@Thyalwaysseekomg it will get there
@@YaYaPaBla Really? When? He could have had it mobilized on day one, he could have brought a convoy of aid down there with him today. What difference has he actually made to any of these people today? They are no better off after his visit than they were before he got there. Maybe you should raise the bar a bit higher for what you expect from your billionaire politicians.
I noticed something in these stories I’ve never seen concerning any other US President, the Presidential vehicle had mud on the tires yesterday. That’s awesome! That speaks volumes about our new President and how he’s not afraid or too entitled to go to the front lines and into the heart of the devastated areas! God Bless America and God bless and protect President Trump!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you president Trump

Be very choosy on who you elect for Governor, Representatives and other state and Local Officials.

Yeah the state has no responsibility. Just like California right?
But the state governments aren't inept?

It's ok that he said that - the hatred between fellow countrymen that is the spoil of politics can only be solved by people having their minds changed for them, if they're not willing or incapable of changing them for themselves. If you can't tell sh-t from Shinola - try putting some of the former on your shoes - and buffing.
Are you able to think outside of your left/right paradigm, you know that there are actually people who exist that don't trust either side of politics...wow just imagine that for a second.
My exact thought!
4 months in and still left as such? Shameful for the state
THANKS PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR HELPING THESE PEOPLE ! FJB !

I’m so glad this is finally being addressed!! It’s about time!!!
Another example of what FJB has done to this country! It is a crime IMHO! My heart aches for the people here and FEMA has proven to America how inept they are. Thank God for President Trump! Prayers and Blessings to everyone affected by this horrible situation!❤❤❤
I agree, but would also say it started well before FJB, FBO too!!
FJB needs to be charged with crimes against humanity.
This just shows how unprepared the state and Federal government is for a disaster like this. For the life of me I can’t understand why the military wasn’t sent in to build roads and bridges and clear debris. Just a total failure of leadership.
My goodness, a real leader who doesn't stumble through reading a meaningless prepared statement.
When I see President Trump, I see hope and freedom.

@@mrj-charles6383 how do you get a heard of cows and horses out before a giant flood comes?
@@officermikey6819 I was talking about pets. Farm animals if you have a flood warning you tend to move them to higher grounds. Cows will follow your lead. A horse becomes transportation. Chickens can be be caged and moved. Although more difficult of a task if is grow house. Basically if you own a farm you should have trailers so with ample warning you can move livestock if a smaller farm.
@@mrj-charles6383 You cannot move livestock through private property! Wake Up!
@@davidwarren3433 I am not here to argue with you. If it is a matter of life and death I would risk trespassing. Just be happy in your mind know there was a lot of ghost animals and people during this tragedy. Keep living in your bubble world thinking you are safe from everything. I am in NC and surviving a flood is a group effort not a you against I situation.
Now that Trump showed up with a few 100 billion to rebuild it will be fine. Oh wait,that was for the tech companies
