Trump rejected $227 million in FEMA disaster aid for New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island for a February snowstorm — two days after approving aid for six Republican-led states. The pattern matches Politico's earlier finding that Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in FEMA's 47-year history. States like Massachusetts, hit by a 3-foot blizzard, now face the costs alone unless appeals succeed. The White House denies politicization, but Trump himself has publicly tied aid approvals to GOP campaign endorsements — something with no historical precedent.
