President Biden has taken time out of his busy schedule—postponing trips to exciting places like Germany and Angola—to come down hard on former President Trump for alleged “misinformation” being spread in the wake of Hurricane Milton. This storm, currently threatening the Sunshine State, is about to make its big debut, and it seems Biden is ready to tackle both the weather and his political rivals.
The President’s emergency declarations for Florida are a much-needed step as hurricane season rolls on, and it appears local officials appreciate the federal assistance. However, it seems Biden’s focus is just as much on defending the government’s response to the storm as it is on actually rallying support for those in need. In a fitting show of solidarity, he highlighted the idea that America is one big happy family during crises, where red states and blue states rally together against nature’s fury. But that family reunion isn’t without its skirmishes.
Joe Biden slams Trump over hurricane 'misinformation' https://t.co/uEds5z7JH3

Hurricane Milton must have stoked Biden’s ire as he swung the hammer of blame at Trump for supposedly perpetuating falsehoods about the federal response. The claims causing quite a stir include property grabbers quickly descending on hapless homeowners and disaster relief funds being funneled towards illegal immigrants. Apparently, Biden thinks a little political spin is just as destructive as any hurricane, calling these allegations harmful to those genuinely in need. However, when has a politician ever let the truth get in the way of a good comeback?
It’s no surprise that Trump would remain in the crosshairs. After all, who else would dare challenge the Biden administration’s every move? The former President has supposedly been leading the charge of lies, which is rich coming from the man who often seems to get his facts straight only on Thursdays. This politicking during a crisis is a classic move, amplifying the chaos while people just want to hunker down and watch Netflix until the storm passes.
As Milton approaches Florida, with winds whipping around at a breezy 120 mph, it’s a poignant reminder of what real disasters look like, unlike the manufactured ones politicians often drum up. Instead of turning the hurricane into a campaign issue, wouldn’t it be refreshing for leaders to focus on communities in distress rather than indulging in blame games? While folks are boarding up windows and figuring out where to stash the patio furniture, one can only hope the political storms subside long enough for real leaders to step up and help those in need.
