Video: Donald Trump tries to score points on Helene

Chris Graham

Donald Trump’s Project 2025 would raise the FEMA threshold for disaster declarations, eliminate direct lending from the SBA to aid businesses impacted by disasters, and effectively privatize the National Weather Service.

It’s adorable, then, that Trump, in addition to staging a photo-op on Monday in Valdosta, Ga., one of dozens of communities in the southeast devastated by the remnants of Hurricane Helene, is trying to use the storm as a political weapon against Vice President Kamala Harris.

AFP editor Chris Graham discusses Trump’s political attack, and his own weakness on disaster response from his term in the White House.
