President Trump Questions FEMA’s Role, Suggests A Change

In an interview with Sean Hannity, President Trump floated the idea of scaling back FEMA.

He’s saying states should “take care of their own problems.”

The remarks come amid California’s deadly wildfires, which have left dozens dead and thousands homeless.

And then there’s the new fire that just started there today.

Trump criticized FEMA’s management and took a jab at Democrats.

We could all see how they neglected states like North Carolina.

But suddenly the government is helping those in that state. Wonder what changed??

Newsweek reports:

President Donald Trump questioned the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s future in an interview on Wednesday, saying he’d prefer “the states take care of their own problems.”

He made the comments in an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

Trump has enacted sweeping changes across the federal government since taking office on Monday, including enabling law enforcement to crack down on migrants’ arrests, reportedly freezing the Justice Department’s civil rights division and seeking to end birthright citizenship.

His comments about FEMA come as California battles a series of raging wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles and Ventura counties, killing dozens of people and destroying thousands of homes and buildings.

“Well, they don’t care about North Carolina,” Trump countered. “The Democrats don’t care about North Carolina. What they’ve done with FEMA is so bad.”

It’s finally time to help the people.

AND something needs to be done about the media because I don’t want Trump’s accomplishments to not get broadcast to the masses.

Democrat voters need to see everything, that will help convert them.
