Don\u2019t think the local \u200dHawaiians haven\u2019t noticed \u200cBiden\u2019s overall\u2062 response to this tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>One Maui resident, Mike Cicchino told \u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsnationnow.com\/us-news\/west\/hawaii-wildfires\/hawaii-wildfire-survivor-biden-has-really-failed-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NewsNation<\/a> how \u2064most Hawaiians aren\u2019t even particularly political (can confirm this to be \u2064true) \u2014 but Biden\u2019s pathetic antics may soon change that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not very political people. You know? We \u2063really don\u2019t go one way or the other, but Biden has really failed us. When something like this, one of the worst disasters in U.S. history happens \u2014 he hasn\u2019t\u200c been\u200d out \u2063here, and it\u2019s been two weeks on Tuesday,\u201d Cicchino told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when Cicchino asked the million-dollar question: \u201cWhat kind of president does that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, what kind of president does handle a crisis of\u200c this sort in this \u2063manner? And if you need a refresher on just \u2063how badly Biden has bungled the Maui wildfires, look no further than the following pair of lowlights.<\/p>\n<p>First, when given an opportunity to\u200b nationally address the horrific loss of life in Maui, here was the\u2062 incumbent president\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-heartless-two-word-response-asked-death-toll-devastating-maui-fires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heartfelt response<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo comment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Biden actually mustered \u200cup the sort of empathy you\u2019d expect from\u200d an accused murderer when discussing his alleged victim.<\/p>\n<p>Second, and compounding matters, Biden\u200d announced \u2064some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-offers-maui-fire-survivors-one-time-pittance-day-200-million-announced-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meager financial aid<\/a> for the \u200dvictims of the wildfires.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, that, in and of itself, is hardly worth criticizing. Sure\u200c it was just $700,\u2063 which is rather insulting, but it\u2019s better than nothing \u2064(and there are certainly arguments to be made against wantonly printing money).<\/p>\n<p>No, the real slap in the face \u200ccame that same day when Biden\u2019s administration announced another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-offers-maui-fire-survivors-one-time-pittance-day-200-million-announced-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$200 million<\/a> in military aid for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s beyond insulting. That\u2019s borderline treasonous.<\/p>\n<p>Given all of that, is \u2063it any surprise that \u2063Biden is being\u2062 greeted with\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/maui-residents-message-joe-biden-ahead-visit-dont-want\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cold shoulders<\/a> from some\u2062 of\u2063 the kindest people in the world? And look, if this was the \u2063very\u200b beginning of Biden\u2019s presidency, maybe his PR team banks on the American people \u200ccollectively moving\u2062 past\u2062 it.<\/p>\n<p>But the country, including Hawaii,\u2063 is just about 15 months removed from the 2024 general election. That stinging sensation in the cheek from being slapped in the face by the octogenarian-in-chief is\u2063 still going to be felt next November.<\/p>\n<p>And look, to be sure, Hawaii is \u201conly\u201d worth four electoral votes and has been\u2062 an absolute haven for Democratic presidential candidates. \u2063(The last Republican candidate \u2064to win the Aloha State was Ronald Reagan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.270towin.com\/states\/Hawaii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in 1984<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>But by that same\u2062 token, every electoral vote matters when polls show you \u200bin a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnn-analyst-runs-three-new-polls-warns-viewers-trump-real-shot-beating-biden-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dead heat<\/a> with\u2063 former President Donald \u2063Trump, and Biden has been atypically unpopular, even for a Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking \u2062of Democrats, that stronghold they have on Hawaii has largely been \u200da byproduct of the party (successfully) selling the image \u200bof being the kinder, more easygoing and more laid back of\u2062 the two major political parties. Those three traits \u2063aptly describe \u2064most local Hawaiians, so it\u2019s little surprise \u200bthat there\u2019s synergy there.<\/p>\n<p>But nothing ruins synergy faster and more wholly than being lied to.<\/p>\n<p>And Joe Biden is doing a heck of a job selling to the Hawaiian\u2063 people that his party is\u200c neither kind, nor easygoing, nor laid back at all.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/maui-fire-survivor-puts-biden-blast-kind-president\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Maui Fire Survivor Puts Biden on Blast: &#8216;What Kind of President Does That?&#8217;<\/a> \u2064 appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full disclosure: I&#8217;m a Hawaii native, so this story hits close to home.
