Donald Trump said that he’s considering scrapping the Federal Emergency Management Agency because he’d “rather see states take care of their own problems.”

So what’s he going to do on Friday when he comes to Asheville NC to view the devastation of Hurricane Helene (the rebuild will take years)? Tell us all to drop dead, FEMA’s outta here?
Drumpf may or may not be a Russian asset, but given his policies meant to undermine America he should at least apply formally to the FSB and get the extra $$$.
We blue states are generally fine taking care of our own problems as long as yall red states are fine doing the same. One of us puts more in than they take out so that’s totally fine with us. But on a serious note, this is so fucked up.
I’m in a red state and would love blue states to keep all their money. People here need a FAFO moment. Tired of trying to make the morons here stop voting against their own best interests.
Trump shows his INEPTNESS on a daily basis!... THE Federal Government -- FEMA -- needs to be available when tragic situations, like the California fires occur!... Trump will merely pocket these funds!... Let's be real!
And how would that work you idiot dump! There are so many Republicans in these states that are considered disaster areas who’ve lost everything they’re traumatized The constituents in those states that are Republicans,well hold onto your hats and see if they get voted in again in 2026. This is evil.
This the guy people voted into office, the guy who doesn’t care about anybody but himself. How can I cut more important agencies and programs to pay for tax cuts for myself and my wealthy friends…? That’s the mentality here, just hope you don’t live in a place that gets hit with a natural disaster.
Of course. In a Psychopathicocracy, the purpose of government is to cause as much suffering, disease and death as possible. Therefore the policies make absolute sense. That explains the new policies of no vaccines, no CDC, no NIH and no funding of scientific research. It's all very logical.
I believe that this would only be for blue states where disasters are caused by incompetent politicians. Where in red states disasters are caused from blue state politicians. The result we eliminate all blue state politicians problems solved therefore no need for disaster prevention 🤨
No more FEMA. Really? So, all of the low tax states where governors refuse to raise taxes high enough to support themselves, and they depend on the Blue state’s tax money, will be paying for their own disaster relief? Interesting.
The maga voters have done this to themselves. Red states require more federal funds to operate under normal circumstances. How will they survive tornados, hurricanes, and fires?
Not President Trump, but Fuhrer Donald Trump of the American Fascist Party, taking over countries, imprisoning people, freeing violent law enforcement beaters, using US military wherever he wishes, etc.,etc.
Thank you 49.1 % of the American People’s Republic!!!!
I love this idea!!! Florida, gone. Alabama, gone. Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia, all gone. This is how you make a dent in the number of racist bigots of the south! Woot!
If States are taking care of their own problems then there is no reason to pay taxes to the Federal government.
Starve Washington till it hurts.

Well, I would argue that while that sounds like a good idea, some folks still get Medicare and Social Security. Let’s find better ways to punish the feds
The government will still help the red states. If there is a disaster in a red state, they will appropriate funding, if in a blue state they won't. No FEMA means they can decide who gets help and who doesn't.
Probably, but that's not what trump says in the article.
“If they have a tornado someplace, let that state—Oklahoma is very competent,” Trump said. “I love Oklahoma. Seventy-seven out of 77 districts; that’s never been done before.”
I would love to see Oklahoma try to manage its tornado next time.

How sad for the nation.
How pathetic is this cult.
If I were to make any other comments now, they would just be antagonistic snark; so I'll leave it as is.
Trump has as much foresight as the average family golden retriever. There is never a consequence to his actions.
