After 2025 hurricane season

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he plans to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency after this year’s hurricane season, offering the clearest timeline yet for his administration’s 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 can’t handle it, the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn’t be governor.”

1. It can't get

any clearer he wants American people to be unprepared for any weather situation. He is lashing out big time.

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:

“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 can’t handle it, the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn’t be governor.”

2. I think maybe you shouldn't be President.

If YOU can't handle it.

4. Like he can judge if a governor can or "can't handle it."

What a joke.

A-hole.

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

5. He's finding a way to finance the next glorious parade.

9. The Republican motto should be: "F*** you, your on your own!"

10. Sentiments like "Secure the common welfare..." are a terrible inconvenience

Insurance of domestic tranquility, providing for the common defense, and promotion of the general welfare don't get good ratings and are easily ignored by his monochrome base of feckless insubordinates.

11. That will cause property and casualty rates to skyrocket....

....as private insurers and states have to absorb more of the catastrophe's. And with climate change, some states may see property values disintegrate as premiums make it impossible to afford to live there.
