Pres. Trump announces $22.6M in disaster relief funds for Wisconsin via social media post

CBS 58

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- President Donald Trump announced federal disaster funding for Wisconsin for damage caused by storms in April

On his social media site Truth Social, Trump said he approved $22.6 million for Wisconsin's disaster declaration request. 

It's not clear if that's individual help for homeowners and business owners or public funds for cities and counties with infrastructure damage. 

Governor Tony Evers responded to the President's post Tuesday, saying:

"President Trump and the Trump Administration have declined tens of millions of dollars in Wisconsin disaster relief requests and have been playing politics by withholding emergency FEMA assistance from states across our country that's supposed to go to helping families and communities rebuild and recover after a disaster -- and all while he uses taxpayer dollars to build himself a golden ballroom. 
So, Wisconsinites and I will believe it when we see it."
