Trump denies Minnesota governor's request for $500M to repair damage from riots

President Trump has denied a request from Minnesota’s governor for money to rebuild parts of Minneapolis that were destroyed during the riots following the death of George Floyd.

“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's office said in a statement. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”

Walz, a Democrat, requested that Trump declare Minnesota a “major disaster” zone in a request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency on July 2 after more than 1,500 buildings were damaged by looting and rioting in the wake of Floyd’s death, totaling over $500 million in damages.

This just seems like insurance fraud to me. Like burning down your house in order to collect on the insurance.

Great. Minneapolis mayor should be sued for dereliction of duty.

Told fire & police NOT to do their job & a bunch of kids partied & looted downtown Minny starting this whole Nation wide nonsense

[Krugminator2]

Hard to even begin to imagine why Minnesota would be entitled to federal funds. This wasn't a natural disaster that could hit any state randomly. It was entirely the consequence of their citizens and the decision to not let police and property owners stop this.

You break it. You buy it.

Serves that mayor right. Whole thing could have been completely avoided had he not ordered the police to not do anything.

Yet another good thing about Trump, there are too many to keep track of.

It almost seems like Trump anticipated and wanted them to ask for a bail out just so he could say nope.

Bold move to cut big gummit spending with debt approaching $25 Trillion. Tighter purse strings another reason for having an accomplished businessman as a POTUS as opposed to ordinary elected public servants.

If MN governor appealed to top donor of MAGA movement (who happens to be richest person in Israel) to send back some of the rebuilding money being sent to the only non-racist democracy in mideast, we may have another political crisis at hand that could unravel GOPA as an American political party.

Another option could be to request freeze on such taining expenses in future and divert that money to rebuild MN to put America-First. But that path could also be bad for already sinking GOPA wing's political future. No easy solutions in this situation.
