Former President Donald Trump has pushed a litany of false claims at campaign events and on social media with his supporters helping give voice to the information.
Some versions of the claim suggested authorities weren’t even going to allow residents to reclaim the bodies of storm victims or that communities were being seized as part of a federal scheme to gain control of valuable lithium mines nearby.
Hurricane survivors will only get a $ 750 loan from FEMA , which will seize their land if they don’t pay it back.
