Trump contemplates termination of FEMA

I remember a time when ...

If the winds and rains came, we put out sandbags and boarded the windows ourselves.
If the snows came, we shoveled them and scraped the ice from our windshields
If the earthquaked, we stood under a doorway until it was over and then picked up the pieces.


I don't remember calling ANYONE.
 
"You want to use your state to fix it and not waste time calling FEMA. And then FEMA gets here and they don't know the area. They've never been to the area, and they want to give you rules that you've never heard about. They want to bring people that aren't as good as the people you already have. And FEMA has turned out to be a disaster," Trump told reporters Friday.

Keep FEMA, zero out the personnel
 
It can't and It won't. The thread seems to be bait. that said, I am responding to your post. Watch what happens with It.
It appears the OP has fled never to return.

Maybe he burned his hands or something... hmmm.
 
So here is an open-ended question:
If you contend that FEMA shouldn’t get scuttled, or re-invented, what is the basis for you support of allowing it to continue as it presently exists?
Or, if you agree with Trump in holding that FEMA needs to be shit-canned or overhauled, what is your basis for that view and what would you propose to fix it or replace it?

My guess is this:
  1. Trump will leave some portion of FEMA in tact, greatly shrinking the size and role of the agency.
  2. For the most part, he will bypass the role of FEMA in managing aide instead giving aid directly to the states to use more expediently as they see best being most familiar with things on their end.
  3. That will leave the role of FEMA being limited to supervising the aid in terms of merely auditing the aid given out vs. how used to assure funds are being used properly and not misappropriated, and to oversee the giving out of federal hardware supplies in the case of a crisis, like temporary housing, and things needed in a calamity.
I think what Trump sees is that FEMA started as a good idea that as with most federal agencies, just grew and grew into a big, fat, self-serving expensive bureaucracy that now mostly exists to serve itself.
 
FEMA definitely needs overhauled big time.

The way they failed to give any assistance to North Carolina trumpsters , passing them by, shows that its really become too political

How about you? You do realize that most of the time the biggest beneficiaries of that program are red states in the south, right?

Floriduh, Texass, and Louisiana specifically.

Funny ... weren't you guys expecting those states to vote with you last year? You might want to stop referring to them as "uneducated deplorables" if you ever expect them to again.

Eliminate FEMA. States should coordinate their own disaster relief.

North Carolina and Florida shouldn't have been declared disaster areas then? They should just rebuild themselves?
 
Isn't FEMA the asshole government agency who intentionally refused to help anyone with a Trump sign in their yard?
That's a lie.

If MAL was hit with a hurricane the felon would be first in line with his hand out demading that FEMA bail his sorry ass out.

I'm fairly certain you meant to say "they're Trumpings".

Perhaps before you go calling other people stupid, you take a second to spell and grammar check your posts.
