Donald J.Trump approves $22.6 million in disaster relief for Wisconsin
announced federal aid for severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding while endorsing Tom Tiffany for governor of Wisconsin.
WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump approved $22.6 million in federal disaster relief for Wisconsin and endorsed Tom Tiffany for governor on a Truth Social post on June 30, 2026 at 5:08 PM EST (see truthsocial).
Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “I just spoke with Congressman Tom Tiffany (who has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Governor!), and informed him that the Great State of Wisconsin has been approved to be given $22.6 Million Dollars in its Disaster Declaration Request, for Severe Storms, Tornadoes, and Flooding. The wonderful people of Wisconsin are in good hands with Tom, alongside Senator Ron Johnson, and “Trump Endorsed” Congressmen Bryan Steil, Derrick Van Orden, Scott Fitzgerald, Glenn Grothman, and Tony Wied. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Donald J.Trump”
Trump said he spoke directly with Tom Tiffany, a Republican congressman from Wisconsin, to deliver news that the state’s disaster declaration request had been granted. The $22.6 million in federal funds targets recovery from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding that struck the state. Federal disaster declarations typically unlock aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for affected communities, covering costs for debris removal, infrastructure repair, and individual assistance.
The announcement doubled as a political endorsement. Trump gave Tiffany what he called his “Complete and Total Endorsement” for the Wisconsin governor’s race. He also praised Senator Ron Johnson and Republican congressmen Bryan Steil, Derrick Van Orden, Scott Fitzgerald, Glenn Grothman, and Tony Wied, calling them “Trump Endorsed” lawmakers.
Disaster relief funding of this scale helps states rebuild roads, bridges, and public facilities damaged by extreme weather. It also provides grants and loans to residents who lost homes or property. The approval signals that Wisconsin met the federal threshold for damages that exceed the state’s capacity to respond on its own.
Trump has made domestic policy a frequent subject of his social media posts. In the last 30 days, 46 of 561 Trump posts addressed domestic policy topics, placing the subject among his regular areas of focus on Truth Social.
