He whined and bitched about how FEMA wasn't doing enough fast enough in NC, even tried to make it political during the campaign.
But now he has cut the aid before they're done.
This is what supporting him will get you:
You will be Tossed to the curb as soon as you can provide no more benefit to him.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, President Donald Trump voiced sharp criticism of FEMA's response in North Carolina.

As typical. Democrats DISTORT an issue in order to engage in mindless Trump bashing. One prevalent tactic is to make broad statements like
"Trump is cutting Social Security" (making people wonder if they will get less Social Security $$).
Actually, the most likely effect will have Social Security recipients getting MORE $$ after the ineligible recipients get removed from the rolls.
A similar scenario is unfolding with FEMA. This statement from FEMA should clear it up. >>>

Under Secretary Noem, DHS is eliminating waste, fraud and abuse
WASHINGTON -- FEMA is ending the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program and canceling all BRIC applications from Fiscal Years 2020-2023. If grant funds have not been distributed to states, tribes, territories and local communities,

Statement Attributable to a FEMA Spokesperson:
“

Approximately
$882 million of funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will be returned to the U.S. Treasury or reapportioned by Congress in the next fiscal year. The 2021 law made $1 billion available for BRIC over five years, $133 million to date has been provided for about 450 applications. FEMA estimates more than $3.6 billion will remain in the Disaster Relief Fund to assist with disaster response and recovery for communities and survivors.
Ending this program will help ensure that grant funding aligns with the President’s Executive Orders and Secretary Noem’s direction and
best support states and local communities in disaster planning, response and recovery.

I have far more confidence in getting disaster relief from Trump's FEMA, than the NOTHING we got from Biden after Hurricane Milton. (2024)
