Trump: I've told FEMA to give Alabama 'the A Plus treatment' [View all]

Source: The Hill

BY JORDAN FABIAN AND AVERY ANAPOL - 03/04/19 10:03 AM EST

President Trump on Monday said he has directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to give Alabama “the A Plus treatment” after a string of deadly tornadoes ripped through the state.

The tornadoes were part of a series of storms that left a trail of destruction through Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

The Trump administration has mixed record on disaster recovery, earning praise for its response to Hurricane Harvey that hit Texas in 2017 but receiving widespread criticism for its efforts in Puerto Rico, where 2,975 were killed by Hurricane Maria.

He also threatened to pull federal funding from California last fall as it was dealing with deadly wildfires, accusing the state of “gross mismanagement.”
