DOnald Trump has also proposed to reduce or dismantle federal government’s response to large -scale disasters, contributing to the support of the state of the Republican Party, which voted for him in the US presidential election last year. You will be discontinued.
President Trump said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said, “I haven’t done that job for the past four years,” and said, “A large -scale discussion will be held in the near future, because I have a unique state. I want to deal with the problem, “he said. “

“I love Oklahoma, but what do you know? If you are hit by a tornado or something, let me repair it to Oklahoma,” said Trump. “Then, the federal government will help you with funds. Fema is all in the way.”
Federal spending suggests that moving the burden of disaster support, which was indicated by the right -wing manifest “Project 2025” before the election, would be the largest blow to the state near the Republican Party.
Since 2015, the state, which has voted for Trump last year, has received $ 31 billion from Fema, with Florida, Texas, and Louisiana, which have a lot of storms, while only 70 states voted for the Democratic Party.

President Trump has visited North Carolina on Friday and then California, and has severely criticized the disasters in the two industries. In September, Hurricane Helen has been the worst storm that has attacked the United States since Catholina in 2005. Following the event, President Trump, who accused Joe Biden for not responding to the Governor, including the Republican Party, has swirled an unfounded conspiracy theory. He praised the federal government’s assistance.
Recently, a wildfire burns out of Los Angeles, which could be the most damaged fire in California. President Trump has attacked the Democratic Party’s leadership, which has failed to suppress the fire, suggesting that Congress republicers will connect the California states to other conditions.
