Trump: "I'll be signing an EO to begin process of fundamentally reforming & overhauling or maybe getting rid of FEMA. I think, frankly, FEMA is not good. When you have a problem like this, you want to use your state to fix it & not waste time calling FEMA..I think we're gonna recommend FEMA go away"

Wait till he finds out the red states don’t have any money. Those red state governors might want to give him a call.
So now each state will need an emergency management system, with at least partial funding from-youguessed it-the federal government. 🤦🏼♂️

“Who needs FEMA?” they love to say,
Until disaster comes their way.
States that scream, “No funds to spare!”
Are first in line for urgent care.
Stop transcribing this asshole.
Report the history to point out why this is a horrible idea (and while they’re at it, point out amassing funding decisions to Trump’s discretion is, ah…ripe for abuse)
Any details? We knew he was going to eliminate FEMA…is the power of the purse going straight into the hands of the President?
Does Congress have thoughts? Maybe just prayers…
I would like my state to secede. We'll be alright.
God I hate this fuck stain.
I don't want to hope for people to be hurt. On the other hand, it looks like the only way to rid ourselves of this regime is to let them destroy the lives and faith of those who voted for them. Sad.

When are we gonna take this motherfucker down??!!
We are only about 340 million people in a world of almost 9 billion people, we need the rest of the world, a whole lot more than the rest of the world needs us.
He thinks this hurts California but wait until insurance crisis Florida has to handle its next Cat. 5 hurricane on its own. And I hope it levels Mar a lago.
I'll be out of all my thoughts and prayers though, I can assure you of that.

Get ready for mass migration to blue states.
The states that didn’t vote for him won’t
Someone needs to stop this
They voted for him: Your neighbors; That nice old lady at the grocery store.
We'll all pay for it now, for their hubris and their ignorance. Trumpism has colonized America. Vance, when he takes over, will be worse.
Have fun, Florida, Georgia, SC, and NC!
The Red states are the poorest in the country. They depend on rich blue states to recover from tornadoes and hurricanes.
Does he think they are all in an office in Bum Fuck Egypt?
He's going to kill us all.
She dials my number and the call disconnects before my phone rings.
We have to talk by text only!
States will get federal assistance - if there is no organized agency he can grant it on a case by case basis
Red states ain't getting shit - unless it's going straight to a millionaire's pocket. Good luck hurricane states, you'll need it.
At least the red state assistance would require congressional approval.
He's such a divisive and hateful POS 💩
“To date, FEMA Public Assistance has provided $1.03 billion for Hurricane Milton, $415.9 million for Hurricane Helene and $112.5 million for Hurricane Debby. The money reimburses the state, local governments and certain nonprofit organizations for emergency protective measures and debris removal.”
Yeehaw! You tell em, Daddy! No more secret gummint trans re-ejamucation camps! Hot doggy!"
MAGA in hurricane and tornado season:
"Watcha mean ah can't get no gummint money? Mah doublewide gone blown away with mah Trump bible an Trump cards an Trump sneakers an Trump watch!"
Every day, he spews more bullshit to prove it
Gotta get money somewhere!
This is taking up my golfing time.
I don’t like FEMA… because it’s just too close to FEMALE.
And I like FEMALES. Especially the ones I assault.
Thank you. Next question.
This is *pure evil.*
So many people will die...
Blue states...if this evil occurs...keep your taxes for that rainy day.
CA and NY contribute the most money to the Federal Government for aid to the entire country. I’m sure they’ll be happy to take care of their own.
That can't be going over well.
There is no region in the States that doesn’t need FEMA. Therefore it’s the first to go.
The CDC will be next.
Louisiana? We'll see. But I'm sure by hurricane season, Johnson will be eaten alive.
Oligarch Party at a Trump property???
He’s like a toddler with a flame thrower
This is not what will happen the state will give whites funding and cut out Blacks in the south because thats the kind of people there are down there.
But regardless of who it hurts, it’s a CRAZY thing to suggest.
He's an idiot.
Does he think there's no coordination between states via FEMA? That evacuations in Florida don't involve planning in Georgia, Alabama, even Mississippi? Because there are no multi-state disasters in his tiny, fucking warped mind.
So w/FEMA alive, CA would be funding all of our own disasters & 12% of everyone else’s.
This issue is bad enough to rip our country apart.
Also, disaster response and recovery isn’t exactly the part of the budget ANYONE complains about, is it?
block grants, they will take the money and use it on pet projects for whoever is in power.
FEMA in its modern form has only existed since 2003, it going away short term looks pretty good for republicans.
Long term disaster
Stop with the circular firing squads
What do you think they’ll do?
And now he’s in California and he’s not mentioning it
And they’re not pushing back on him
“The government you elect is the government you deserve.”
― Thomas Jefferson
Asking for my US friends who didn't vote for Trump
We are not only wildly unprepared but we are actively Un-preparing.
The more oil that is produced the cheaper it gets. If it’s cheap enough it’s not profitable to drill at all.
His entire plan to bring down inflation with “drill baby drill” and flooding the market with cheap oil is just dumb.
Our home has flooded twice from two separate hurricanes
Our other home went through severe damage from others
Without FEMA our town, would’ve never rebuilt. people need to know what can happen when they vote for this lunacy.
Maybe then they’ll start paying attention and voting for people that have all of our best interests at heart.
I, too, have weathered hurricanes & found myself asking FEMA for emergency assistance. LAST WEEK I received a note from my attorney that State Farm has agreed to $10K settlement minus atty fees for new roof, ceiling, attic damage from IDA!
Without FEMA , our town would have never recovered from Rita in ‘05 much less any other
It was those resources and expertise that got everything moving again. They hit the ground running every time.
I am interested to see about red areas in blue states. Downstate Illinois gets tornadoes. Upstate NY gets crippling ice storms.
So CA is going to be in a position where we are paying for 12 percent of everyone else’s disasters and all of our own.
That isn’t okay. I would vote to secede over that.
Fear Of Missing Out, upon / "over" "'disaster' '"relief" "aid"'" ?
"What a relief( ..!) " ?? Or "'GOOD' 'Grief(er..? ) '" ?!?!?
( .. the Trump? By which I mean the 4-letter "s-word," actual last n '.

My governor Gavin is amazing, but instant teleportation is not one of his awesome skills
Perhaps there was a misunderstanding

What an evil POS.
A. He wants to be vindictive
B. He personally profits financially
C. He personally profits politically
DOGE my ass.
The guy wants the FEMA money for his tax cuts, nothing more.
I don't wish for a single death, but every home destroyed a long the gulf coast is a victory. Time to start listening to mother nature because the rest of us are tired of subsidizing their lavish lifestyles.
