If Franklin Graham appears to be giving the old side eye to ex-resident dotard in the photo above, it may be because drumpf loudly took credit for Graham’s charitable organization, Samaritan’s Purse, rolling truckloads of Hurricane relief supplies into town during their appearance in Valdosta, Georgia yesterday. In addition to slandering President Biden by accusing him of not doing his utmost to provide relief, Trump first stated that he brought the truckloads of supplies himself, while camera were rolling, before later in his statement credited Graham with doing so. Of course right wing news sources amplified Trump’s original claim while ignoring his later demurral:

“Just a few days ago, Trump started using the aftermath of Hurricane Helene to hold political events and attack his political opponents. In a press release on Sunday, the Trump campaign stated Trump would be visiting Valdosta, Georgia to “facilitate the distribution of relief supplies.”

During his visit to Valdosta on Monday, Trump claimed that he brought “truckloads” of relief for those in Georgia who are “suffering in the terrible aftermath of Hurricane Helene.” However, in a less publicized portion of Trump’s speech, Trump also stated, “We came down with truckloads of things, and we’re going to have that done by Franklin’s incredible organization.”

Below is the inveterate liar lying:

And of course the old Christian Nationalist Graham is not going to call him out on his lies, he supports Trump with ever fiber of his own hateful grifting soul:

But I digress.

“The Trump campaign promoted Trump’s “truckloads” of relief comments online. Pro-Trump right wing outlets and MAGA Republican accounts amplified Trump’s claims often leaving out the part about Samaritan’s Purse, the disaster relief organization ran by Franklin Graham.”

This is just how the right operates, one grifter stealing credit for another grifter’s charitable efforts for which the second grifter receives an annual salary of two thirds of a million dollars… raked strait off the top…while news organizations that exist only to take a living from trumpeting their lies trumpet their lies.

But at least folks devastated by the storm received food, clean water and rebuilding supplies provided by legitimate enterprise as a result…

At least we can hope some did.
