Michelle Obama recently claimed that her husband wouldn't have been able to get away with anything Trump has done. That's interesting because most if it is just continuity from Obama. Below are some of his greatest hits.
I only looked at one. Are they all fake? "This used a filter," Obama said. "The water around this table was Flint water and it just confirms what we know scientifically, which is, if you're using a filter, if you're installing it, then Flint water at this point is drinkable." Obama pledged he'll ensure state, local and federal officials "don't rest" until every drop of water running through the city's pipes is safe. His administration declared a state of emergency in January and steered funds to Flint, but locals still must use filtered or bottled water. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/po...red-flint-mich-water-speech-article-1.2625271
Like everything Trump has done, he used what Obama set up. The federal Environmental Protection Agency, which is part of the executive branch of government led by the president, announced last week that it had granted $100 million to the state of Michigan to fund drinking water infrastructure upgrades in Flint. The EPA said in its announcement that the funding was provided by the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act of 2016, a measure passed by Congress and signed into law by Obama in December. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/n...-crisis/2017/03/27/flint-fact-check/99700698/ PS.

2 years later. And why aren't you wondering why so many places dont have clean water? Flint and other places without clean water are in crisis during the pandemic - Vox The video works on YouTube.
As we previously wrote, Obama signed an emergency declaration for Michigan in January 2016 — a move that allowed for federal resources to aid in the response to the lead contamination in the city’s water supply. There’s a distinction between that emergency and the national emergency declared by Trump, which cites the National Emergencies Act and aims to divert billions in federal funds to finance the wall. The emergency declaration signed by Obama was a designation under the Stafford Act, a disaster relief law, that allowed for federal aid of up to $5 million (not including additional assistance from federal agencies that didn’t require the declaration). Such emergency declarations bolster state or local “efforts in providing emergency services, such as the protection of lives, property, public health, and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in any part of the United States,” the Federal Emergency Management Agency notes. The federal government’s response included measures such as distributing water and providing water filters and water sampling. The emergency declaration ended in August 2016. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5353852/
The water crisis began in 2014. A 2 year wait is acceptable to you? You gotta stop with the partisan stuff, dude. Just imagine if Trump did that. You wouldn't be so generous. Look at the rest of his record that I laid out and you're still defending him.
Six months. Would have been sooner without the Republican coverup. Sorry. Once you lie to me I stop chasing your BS.
Pardon me. He knew about it since October 2015. I'm going by Michael Moore's documentary, Fahrenheit 11/9. That's what the other video is from. "There was no water in that school he was speaking at."

And by Jan 16th they started getting money. January 16, 2016 - The president declines to declare a disaster in Flint. Instead, he authorizes $5 million in aid, declaring a state of emergency in the city. The state of emergency allows the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to step in. May 4, 2016 - Obama visits Flint to hear first-hand how residents have endured the city's water crisis and to highlight federal assistance to state and local agencies. https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/04/us/flint-water-crisis-fast-facts/index.html
Obama loved the Unitary Executive that George left him, and Donald loves it too. The swamp has consumed Donald, and he's loving every minute of it.
