Nothing for California or North Carolina after natural disasters, instead Trump is sending money to a long-haired libertarian in Argentina who already blew through $20 billion from the IMF.

somehow Trump lawyers do not seem to have read Article VI of Constitution - a ratified treaty is considered part of Constitution, and hence any statute in conflict with that treaty is ipso facto null and void
