The former and would-be future president’s visit also required dozens of local police officers for security, diverting them from storm cleanup
While Donald Trump took credit for bringing truckloads of supplies to hurricane-ravaged Georgia last month, it appears that the only thing he brought to Valdosta that day was traffic and a first-responder diversion from the relief effort.
“Today I’ve come to Valdosta with large semi-trucks, many of them filled with relief aid, and a tanker truck filled up with gasoline. We have a couple of the big tanker trucks filled up with gasoline,” the coup-attempting former president said Sept. 30 in front of a destroyed furniture store in Valdosta.
Trump’s campaign later sent out a press release headlined, “President Trump Delivers Relief, Support To Hurricane-Ravaged South,” which then stated: “President Trump delivered relief supplies to aid in the hurricane’s devastating aftermath: ‘We have a lot of truckloads of different items, from oil to water to all sorts of equipment that’s going to help … We’re here today to stand in complete solidarity with the people of Georgia and with all of those suffering.’”
In reality, those trucks were brought by Samaritan’s Purse, a charity run by the pastor Franklin Graham. They were already there by the time Trump flew to the local airport and then rode into town in his Secret Service motorcade, according to residents.
The same guy that lied about rushing to help people on 9-11? Surely he wouldn’t lie about helping people in the aftermath of a natural disaster? You’d think he was kind of a con man trying to grift himself into some kind of position of power, huh.
Lied about that when the truth is he was calling in to radio shows to brag about now having the tallest tower in Manhattan.
Threw some paper towels?
Over the state line
“no evidence”. As if Trump’s campaign wouldn’t be doing countless ads with videos of such an event if it had happened.
“No, sir, giving one of your fans a breath mint does not count.”
I think he thought those AI images of him were real
This honestly could be it. He could’ve seen some AI art of him with huge trucks full of boxes on Twitter or something and thought “yes I did that, I remember that.” Dementia and sundowning is horrible to watch.
God bless him. They needed those Chinese bibles and NFTs.
