Tulsi Gabbard has emphasized the urgent need for President Joe Biden\u200b and other government leaders to address the &#8220;huge deficit in trust&#8221; \u2062that has \u200bemerged following the devastating wildfires in Lahaina, Maui. Speaking on Fox and Friends, Gabbard highlighted the lack of assistance provided by the government to the residents of Maui and stressed the\u200c importance of\u200c regaining the trust of the affected community.<\/p>\n<h3>Rebuilding Trust and Restoring Communication<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lack of trust\u200c because of \u2062the failure to communicate, \u2062the failure to \u2063provide services. \u2064The people in these surrounding communities have\u200b been faced with a situation where they had no power. They were\u2063 told they couldn&#8217;t drink the water out of the faucet. Roadblocks were being \u2063put in place. So they had\u2063 to turn to \u200ceach other as a community to get food and to get the kind of immediate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-ben-shapiro-democratic-rep-ro-khanna-debate-15-minimum-wage\/\" title=\"WATCH: Ben Shapiro, Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna Debate  Minimum Wage\">basic support<\/a> they needed. They didn&#8217;t see anybody from any level of the government \u2063for over\u200c a week after this catastrophe happened,&#8221; Gabbard said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gabbard emphasized the significant deficit in \u2063trust that needs to be addressed. She called for the presence and active \u200bengagement of leaders, from\u2064 President Joe Biden to local officials, in order to \u200ceffectively respond to the needs and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iranian-dissidents-claim-biden-state-dept-hire-is-pro-regime-advocate\/\" title=\"Iranian Dissidents Claim Biden State Dept Hire is Pro-Regime Advocate\">concerns expressed<\/a> by the affected communities.<\/p>\n<h3>A \u200cCall for Genuine Assessment and Support<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Gabbard expressed hope that President Biden&#8217;s visit to the island would result in a &#8220;real, honest assessment&#8221; of the devastation, rather than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tulsi-gabbard-blasts-biden-response-to-maui-wildfires-huge-deficit-in-trust\/\" title=\"Tulsi Gabbard criticizes Biden's handling of Maui wildfires, citing a lack of trust.\">mere photo\u200c opportunity<\/a>. She highlighted the initial announcement made by the federal government, which offered a one-time payment of $700, as damaging to the trust \u200cbetween residents and government officials.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gabbard stated, &#8220;Unfortunately, again, there is a\u2063 trust deficit because not only have people not shown up, but it was almost a slap in\u2063 the \u2062face of\u2063 the people there \u200dwhen the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/credit-card-companies-make-big-announcements-about-pornhub-following-horrifying-claims\/\" title=\"Credit Card Companies Make Big Announcements About Pornhub Following Horrifying Claims\">big announcement<\/a> from FEMA was, \u200d&#8217;Hey, we are going to give you a one-time payment of $700.&#8217; Anybody \u200cwho has been\u2064 to Hawaii knows that $700 does not go very far at a time when so many have lost everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the search-and-rescue efforts\u200b continue in \u200bthe fire-ravaged communities, officials in Maui reported that 850 \u200dpeople are still missing. The fire has already claimed\u2062 the lives of\u2064 114 individuals, with the possibility of that number rising as the search progresses. President Biden\u2063 is \u200cscheduled to \u200dvisit Maui on Monday to meet with\u2064 local officials and\u2064 witness the devastation firsthand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to\u200b read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Hawaii Rep.
