‘Big Discussion’ Coming on FEMA’s Future: Trump – EVOL

‘I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,’ the president said on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump suggested changes may be coming to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) because he would rather see states handling disaster response rather than the federal government.

When asked about the agency by Fox News’s Sean Hannity in a Wednesday interview in the White House, Trump was critical of FEMA’s response to natural disasters in recent years.

“FEMA has not done their job for the last four years … but unless you have certain types of leadership, it’s really, it gets in the way,” Trump said. “And FEMA is gonna be a whole big discussion very shortly, because I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems.

“I love Oklahoma. But you know what? If they get hit with a tornado or something, let Oklahoma fix it. … And then the federal government can help them out with the money.”

Trump added that his administration “had FEMA working really well” because “we had hurricanes in Florida. We had Alabama tornadoes.”

In the interview, he did not preview what FEMA-related actions his administration might take.
