During a press conference in Pacific Palisades, President Trump engaged in a heated debate with Rep. Brad Sherman regarding federal aid for wildfire-affected communities. Their discussion spanned topics like forest management, FEMA's bureaucratic processes, and private insurance challenges. Trump criticized FEMA for being slow and costly, suggesting that local authorities should issue immediate building permits to expedite recovery efforts. The dialogue underscored the ongoing friction between Trump and Democratic leaders in California, particularly in the wake of the devastating wildfires that prompted the need for aid and support.
FEMA is incompetently run and it costs about three times more than it should cost. We can spend money on schools instead of giving money to bureaucracy.
FEMA has a standard that's so slow. They want permit on permit on permit, and then they want permits on top of that. If you use FEMA, you'll be here for a long time.
