Same region in Kansas got clocked by wildfires in 2017, with whole herds and ranches wiped out.

After emergency USDA assistance and FEMA took weeks to months to materialize, local coverage was chockablock with ranchers in diners, chanting "Save us, President Trump!! Visit us and bring us hope!!" IIRC, he didn't even mention it in his social media feeds, let alone visit.

There were, of course, reasons for this response.

A. He didn't/doesn't care about you. At all.
B. Why would he visit counties with 725 voters?
C. Why visit counties where he already got 80% of those votes?
D. He didn't/doesn't care about you. At all.
