After 2025 hurricane season
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he plans to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency after this years hurricane season, offering the clearest timeline yet for his administrations long-term plans to dismantle the disaster relief agency and shift responsibility for response and recovery onto states.
We want to wean off of FEMA, and we want to bring it down to the state level, Trump told reporters during a briefing in the Oval Office, later saying, A governor should be able to handle it, and frankly, if they cant handle it, the aftermath, then maybe they shouldnt be governor.

That last sentence is evil to the core. He is throwing a temper tantrum and he wants Americans to suffer.
What a fuckhead reading this:

Also, climate damaged communities will have to sell pennies on the dollar to get out. In swoops the fat cats.
