Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

Rubio is petulantly annoyed because he gave this big speech in Athens about The Future of Western Civilization -- and coincidentally, on the very same day, his ambassador to Greece gets caught soliciting a donor to pay off her $100,000 credit-card bill.
