‘Revealing for its dishonesty’: NYT delivers blistering critique of Trump’s hurricane lies
“Donald Trump started lying minutes after touching down in Valdosta, Georgia, to survey damage from Hurricane Helene.
The former president wasted no time in lobbing false claims against president Joe Biden, telling reporters that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp was “doing a very good job” but was “having a hard time getting the president on the phone” – which the governor and Biden have both insisted isn’t true, reported the New York Times.
“He just said, Hey, what do you need?” Kemp said on Monday. “And I told him, you know, we got what we need. We’ll work through the federal process.”
“The first Trump administration proposed cutting the budget the Federal Emergency Management Agency – as does the Project 2025 blueprint that could shape a second term if he’s re-elected – and his top officials diverted resources away from disaster relief toward enforcing immigration laws.
“Former administration officials, who insisted on anonymity to speak candidly about private discussions from their time working for the former president, said he sometimes treated disaster funding the way he tried to treat other streams of money in his government: a pot of cash for him to dole out as he saw fit, depending on how he personally was treated,” the Times reported.
“He also didn’t seem to understand — or want to understand — that some emergency funding was beyond his ability to curtail, according to one person with direct knowledge of the discussions,” the newspaper added. “Another person with direct knowledge of the discussions said Mr. Trump wanted gracious requests from governors in order to help their states.”
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp was calling President Joe Biden after Hurricane Helene but “hasn’t been able to get him.”

Calmes: Trump’s string of lies matters
“If his lips are moving, he’s lying.
The New York Times fact-checked Donald Trump’s 63-minute jabbering at a recent Las Vegas campaign stop and found 64 false, inaccurate or misleading remarks — one a minute. That mendacity wasn’t even a record. A contender for the distinction would be Trump’s 64-minute August news conference at Mar-a-Lago that was more monologue than Q&A: He racked up at least 162 lies, misstatements and vast exaggerations by NPR’s count — about 2.5 a minute.
Pathological lying ought to be a disqualifier for the office, yet for nearly half the electorate it’s not. Sure, shading the truth is a feature of politics. But lying on Trump’s scale is a bug, and a venomous one.”
