Trump screws his voters again: He just denied disaster aid to Maryland (while giving it to red states). But I took a look and it turns out the suffering Maryland counties are in Appalachia and backed him by 40 and 54 points.

I'm sorry that @schumer.senate.gov and @cnn.com and @msnbc.com didn't know this before today: there is no compromising with Trump.
He is insane and his only human emotion is revenge and you cannot mitigate against it. There is only one path through: destroy his presidency.
