Drumpf wants to make it even harder…The cuts proposed by the Trump administration would slice away funding for long-term preparedness efforts, many of them put in place to address the sluggish federal response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The proposed cuts would include programs run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, whose new administrator was praised by Trump in a tweet last weekend for “doing a great job”; the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which helps rebuild homes, parks, hospitals and community centers; the National Weather Service, which forecasts extreme storms; and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, whose research and community engagement help coastal residents prepare for disaster.
“The president has definitely sent a signal with his budget that emergency management is not of interest,” said Scott Knowles, a historian at Drexel University who studies risk and disaster.
Trump wants to do away with NOAA, no storm warnings, no tsunami warnings. FEMA was on the chopping block. Sam isn’t playing twister, this administration has a knife to his throat, already cutting deep, and he’s just trying to escape and save some of the REAL America, not the vision of the top 1% and corporations.
Trump initiated gutting procedures on FEMA two weeks before Harvey hit. So how he thinks FEMA can be doing a wonderful job after that Erasure of policies and programs to help Afflicted areas is beyond me. Trump has probably never gone hungry on purpose for a day in his life. I don’t think the man has even ever been camping. So what would he know of the hardship of being off the grid. Of what it would be like to be without shelter or food or clean water for more than an hour let alone weeks and not know if or when you’re ever going to get any relief. That he says FEMA is doing a wonderful job is either an ignorant, completely ignorant statement or hypocrisy.

Meanwhile the republicans cut fema and pour more pollution in the environment, because this twister game is little concern to their favorite CEO’s quarterly profits. You aren’t going to make your 3.5% by caring about people and trees.
This cartoon is basically a lie. With drums at the wheel he iso given the Puerto Ricans a tiny drop of help suspending the jones act for 10 weeks! He has suspended it for a full year in Texas and Florida. 10 Weeks is not near enough time, even a whole year wouldn’t even get the job done. He forget these are also Americans!

Throw some yellow spots from bad winter storms in there, and he’ll look like a pretzel.
