As for the trump campaign sign thing, it was the trumpers threatening fema employees and claiming they were stealing aid not giving it.

That's a separate issue. There's no good excuse for ignoring people in a time of crisis. The excuse they gave was safety but In reality it was retaliation. I'm not a Trumper but even I can see that. Both instances are horrible and show how petty people get during voting time. Us vs Them mentality.
