They'll get it eventually. I wonder what he'll have to do to get it though. This is what happens when you give a mob boss the purse strings.

Last month, Arkansas’ Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders — who previously served as Trump’s press secretary — issued a letter to the president pleading with him to reconsider FEMA’s denial of an emergency disaster declaration request as the state recovered from a series of tornadoes in March. In her letter, Sanders wrote that “without the support of a Major Disaster Declaration, Arkansas will face significant challenges in assuming full responsibility and achieving an effective recovery from this event,” and that “supplemental Federal assistance is crucial” to recovery efforts.

The declaration was finally issued on May 13, almost exactly two months after the storms hit the state, and a month after Huckabee wrote to the president.

I’m all for disaster relief, but how does “please give us money to pay for this problem so that we can ‘assume full responsibility’ for this problem” make any sense?

It's Sarah Sanders, she hasn't been socialized with normal people yet.
