WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump approved $22.6 million in federal disaster relief for Wisconsin and endorsed Congressman 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 with Tiffany before announcing the approval of Wisconsin’s disaster declaration request. The $22.6 million in federal funds targets recovery from severe storms, tornadoes, and flooding that struck the state. The aid aims to support local communities as they rebuild infrastructure and assist residents displaced by the weather events.
Trump gave Tiffany what he called his “Complete and Total Endorsement” for the Wisconsin governor’s race. Tiffany, a Republican congressman, now carries a presidential backing that could reshape the gubernatorial contest. Trump also named Senator Ron Johnson and five Republican House members — Bryan Steil, Derrick Van Orden, Scott Fitzgerald, Glenn Grothman, and Tony Wied — as allies working on behalf of the state.
Federal disaster declarations unlock a range of assistance programs, including grants for temporary housing, home repairs, and low-cost loans for uninsured property losses. The approval signals that damage from the storms met the threshold for federal intervention beyond what state and local governments could handle alone.
Trump has posted 44 messages on the topic of domestic policy out of 562 total Truth Social posts over the last 30 days, placing disaster relief and federal spending among his recurring themes during this period.
