Face the facts Arkansas that Trump only cares about money and power NOT you. I pray you’re able to watch your local news to confirm how many of you have been affected and that your state has the funds to help you.

That's part of his DNA, while he feels the needs of the community it's when you are welcome. After he gains from the community what he needs then you are on your own. Business mogul 101.🤔🤡🎪

this is not the role of a true patriot who happens to hold the office of president-he is not a serious man-this is all entertainment for him & annoying-interferes with his golf game...

Except there are many of us who wouldn’t vote for him if it killed us also living in red states. Do we not deserve help? Should generally good people who made a (granted HUGE) bad decision not be allowed much needed help the rest of their lives? I hope I never have to be judged by my worst mistake.

I am always stunned by Trump's cruelty. These people are his voting base & in need of aid. I am sure Arkansas, Missouri & Mississippi would don't be asking for aid if their states could manage it w/in the state.

Always has: “Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will "protect your job." …analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades — …who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them” www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

This is monstrous. Even in heavily red areas that supported Trump, now that he’s in power and no longer needs those voters (since he’s planning to stay in office for life), he’s just going to treat them like trash. It’s just a shame more people didn’t realize it before the election. 😞

Reminder: in the 2024 US presidential election, Arkansas voted 64.2 percent for Donald Trump vs 33.6 percent for Kamala Harris. Arkansas won. Arkansas needs to get over it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/electio... bsky.app/profile/cnn....

A bunch of folks in these comments happy about folks getting screwed. Y'all should be ashamed. There are a ton of people in the state who didn't vote for Trump and you're ignoring them, while dunking on the ones who "deserve it." Solidarity is required to beat fascism. Fix your hearts or die.

My response applies to every state no matter who voted however. He is a snake, a liar, a grifter, an so are the people around him. Point is… there will be NO HELP from his administration for ANY disasters, anywhere- except Mara NO GO. Arkansas voted their majority to find out the hard way. Karma

"We only pay disaster benefits to rich white people that deserve it by voting for Trump," a GOP spokesmodel said. "Frankly, we should just declare Trump Emperor and get rid of all this delusion about democracy."

How many ways can this dude literally show Americans he doesn’t care?! But then MAGA be all like stop whining, snowflakes. It’s all the have. That an a really foul and stupid angry orange god.

Isn't that why Governor Huckster passed the law to let 12 years old work? Those folks need to pull themselves up by those christofascist bootstraps, no handouts remember Governor?

What has happened to us? In the last year, the 19 wealthiest families in America have increased their personal wealth by $1 Trillion dollars. Meanwhile, in West Virginia, thousands have been all but abandoned following disastrous flooding in February. westvirginiawatch.com/2025/04/23/m...

I am not a fan of all the gloating in the replies. Even if you’re determined to not feel any empathy for Trump voters, hundreds of thousands of Arkansans aren’t Trump supporters. I’m sure they’re not amused with the laughter.

Someone who I blocked told me to fuck myself for saying this. Baxter county - which was affected by the tornadoes - voter 75% for Trump. I feel bad a natural disaster happened to people, but if Trump fucks over Trump voters, I will happily point it out and say they brought it onto themselves.

Hate to say it, but this is exactly what 64% of Arkansas voters asked for. If they didn’t expect this they weren’t paying attention. Trump will screw anyone. He does not care about you. Sociopaths DO NOT CARE. But it’s rather fun to watch that OG Trump sycophant Huckabee Sanders beg isn’t it?

It's disheartening to see survivors facing even more hardships when they need support the most. Recovery should be the priority, and it’s crucial for leaders to step up and ensure aid flows to those in need, especially after such devastating events.

“Citizens Get What They Voted For In Arkansas” isn’t really breaking news. I feel sorry for the blue dots who knew they were going to get hung out to dry, but it’s hard to find sympathy for the people who ended up with snake oil after voting for the snake-oil-salesman.
