President Trump criticized the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during his trip to North Carolina, suggesting it has been ineffective and proposing its potential elimination. He called for states to handle disaster responses independently, claiming they could do so more efficiently than FEMA. Trump's comments followed ongoing frustrations over hurricane recovery efforts and hinted at a shift in federal disaster policy, particularly regarding the involvement of states and potential concessions from Democratic-led areas like California for disaster assistance.
Trump emphasized his desire to help North Carolina, a battleground state that's voted for him in all of his presidential campaigns.
Trump said that would be quicker than sending in FEMA. FEMA just hasn't done the job, we're looking at the whole concept of FEMA.
