Trump Revoked Flood Protections for Millions of Americans

[placeholder]

President Trump has decided to revoke the Federal Flood Protection Standard, making communities less safe and exposing the country to greater damage from disastrous flood events.

The flood protection standard required federally-funded infrastructure, like public housing, hospitals, fire stations, and highways, to be built with a higher margin of safety against extreme floods and sea level rise.

Democrats should put up billboards proclaiming this fact in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. In fact, anywhere that flooding has been a disaster.

How did Trump do this?

He is not president.

If he did it when he was president, then why didn’t Joe reinstate it?

He did this when he was President. Biden did reinstate it when he became President.

This after promising to stop the fire insurance for Californians.  Gotta figure that being born in  a rich family definitely spoiled him and even though he ha lost more money than almost everyone we have read about, he still thinks only of himself and could care less about all those people that have lost their lives, homes, dreams.  Now I read about the insurance companies reaping big $ just like the health insurance people do too.  If he gets his way and continues, he will probably just close hospitals to anyone who can't pay for treatment!  Yet, many of those same people that lost everything will still vote for him - go figure!

"We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated," he said during his victory speech.

Well if all the poorly educated in the USA vote for Trump he will get about 95% of the vote.

So, whose fault was it that Trump revoked these higher standards to protect against flooding?

Makes sense.....with climate change being a hoax the sea levels will begin to recede mainly due to the influx of illegal immigrants flushing their toilets 15 times a day.

So how does that revoke flood protection from anyone?

 

Here's some of NRDC's other good work.  You'll find these at the bottom of their DEI page.

You don't understand how  by revoking higher standards for public  infrastructure citizens were hurt? Do I really have to spell that out for you?
