FEMA is far from perfect, but without it, what government entity will help victims of disasters? FEMA helped my family after Hurricane Harvey and people in the Carolinas are still waiting for help from Helene.

This goes back to the difference between the failed ideology of the "Confederacy" and the "Union". America didn't become "Great" and the envy of the World on a "Confederacy" of States making their own decisions but on a Union of States with the power of many making us stronger and better able to help each other when the need arises. Local State run programs often run into corruption and a lot more money being wasted, which is one of the many reasons the Confederacy failed in the first place. FEMA, like many agencies, isn't perfect but it has helped a lot of people in desperate need when it was needed...

I haven't researched FEMA thoroughly, but I do know they have an abysmal record. During the last flood disaster in North Carolina, they were notably absent. FEMA representatives were told that if they felt the least bit threatened by the disaster victims, they should leave immediately, without helping.

Sending snowflakes into redneck territory and telling them they can leave if they "feel" threatened is like giving them a hall pass to NOT do their jobs. Because snowflakes will ALWAYS feel threatened by rednecks.

I think the North Carolina disaster was the final straw for FEMA, in the minds of both Trump and Kristi Noem.

Trump would like to pass disaster funding on to the individual states, instead. That means that each State will have to develop and maintain the equivalent of a single state FEMA bureau.

This COULD be a very bad idea if the governors of said states are corrupt, like Gavin Newsome, or Pritcher.

The money will simply disappear, and the people will not receive help.

Not American myself, but in live of what happens anywhere else in the world... Instead of burning together he wants everyone to get the chance to burn separately. Will enough of the rich be rich enough to have several properties all the over the country though? I see yet another reality show there with celebraties crying over the fact that already two of their eight properties will have burned down

It's not going away. It's just being moved under a different agency, so there is more oversite and accountability. It will be more controlled by the states now.

No issues

I’d be curious to know what he plans to replace it with—and what his supporters in the paths of hurricanes and tornadoes will expect when the next storms come. 🥺

FEMA does a terrible job in its current state. It's going to be restructured, not eliminated.

Well, there's a hurricane that's poised to hit the east coast soon.

Maybe wait a bit and ask those folks that will be severely impacted what they think.

Fine thank you

sad i understand the direction and why but i thought the idea of agency was a good idea.

I feel that its all fun and games until you need it.

Slow or fast phasing

He seems to not understand that many of his actions hurt mostly his base.

What the american people feel about any decree form King Donald no longer matters... americans will soon learn to just do what they're told, to always look over their shoulder before speaking, and to never ever question any action taken by the régime.

Whatever! Socialism is where you do stuff for the good results! We're above and beyond that low class socialism stuff. War is good!

Phase that dept. out and give the money to the states, they know better what people need. Fema has screwed up time after time, wasting money that could help people.

For a country that doesn't embrace socialism, it always amazed me how quick Americans are to demand FEMA's socialized financial aid to get them out of a jam.

Don't care. They've been corrupt for years. Trump knows what he's doing.

FEMA is guilty of one screw-up after another! The feds should just give money to the states that know better what they need during disasters!

Audit it first.. see if you think they do anything good.. or just pilfer the coffers

He doesn’t have a better plan.

Doesnt surprise me, thankfully its going to hit red states the hardest lol
