Selectively withholding FEMA funds of Blue states because of policy disagreements. Literally, he's willing to have Americans killed who disagree with him.

He did this during Covid. When he saw that it was at first primarily hitting cities, he didn't give a single fuck and wanted people to die. It wasn't until rural areas and red states got hit harder that he started to pretend to care.

He literally diverted PPE's meant for Boston to red states. Boston had to use a private plane from the Patriots to secretly ship in PPEs:

Not just diverting to red states, he had some hidden shipments to send supplies to Russia as well. For reasons.

Also the stockpile was sold to Trump supporters who then "distributed" them by selling for a markup. I don't understand why the full weight of the government didn't come down on everyone in that administration.

Because the government doesn't work for us. We aren't "people." We don't have enough money to be considered "people."
