He's King Midas in Reverse: Donald Trump as Caligula Caesar

Once upon a time FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, gave help to America's states even if that help was sometimes inadequate and incompetent as during Hurricane Katrina. And then along came Drumpf. Under the monarchy of the Orange One, according to several state governors, FEMA and the Feds are taking PPE and ventilators from the states in a kind of reverse of what FEMA normally does, in a revived version, it seems, of feudal privilege. Who needs the Midas touch when you have the man with the Caligula Touch, Donald Trump?
