Trump is trying to deceive the folks in the swing state of North Carolina regarding the federal response to Hurricane Helene. It may backfire on him.

From a North Carolina newspaper:

A leading newspaper in North Carolina is blasting former President Trump over what it calls his “falsehoods” about the government response to Hurricane Helene, which devastated a large swath of the state last week.

“This is not a situation to capitalize on for political gain. But former President Donald Trump has politicized the situation at every turn, spreading falsehoods and conspiracies that fracture the community instead of bringing it together,” the editorial board of The Charlotte Observer wrote this week. “By every indication, state and federal agencies have been working to help people in need. They’ve been airlifting food and other supplies to affected areas.”

The Observer noted Trump’s statements in recent weeks claiming Democratic state and federal officials are “going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas,” and saying Vice President Harris “spent all her FEMA money, billions of dollars, on housing for illegal migrants.”

“There’s no evidence to support any of those ridiculous claims,” the newspaper shot back.

“Let’s be clear: Western North Carolina is not a political football. This is not a campaign opportunity,” the outlet continued. “The most unhelpful thing any politician — or anyone else — can do right now is spread misinformation and tell people that their government isn’t doing anything to help them.”

The Trump campaign is really throwing a hail Mary pass here. If this blows up in their face, they lose the election. They must be feeling desperation to have the balls to try this.

I've got a couple of extra pillows if he needs some help holding his breath. This is doable.

Expert: Analysis shows Trump tax plan "taking money" from bottom 95% and "giving it" to richest 5%

Former President Donald Trump's proposed tax plan would create tax cuts for the nation's top 5% of earners while leaving the rest of Americans to shoulder tax increases by 2026, according to a new analysis.

The report, released Monday by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), found that enacting Trump's tax proposals would offer the richest 1% of earners an average tax cut of over $36,300, while the next highest 4% of earners would see average tax cuts of nearly $7,200. The remaining 95% of Americans, however, would see average tax increases, spanning from just over $600 to nearly $1,800 depending on where they fall in the country's income distribution.
