Trump says states should manage disasters. The former leaders of FEMA agree.

President Trump plans to visit damage on Friday by last year’s hurricanes in North Carolina and this month’s fires in California after having declared that the response in the event of a disaster should be moved from the federal government to the States .

In an interview on Fox News on Wednesday, the president criticized the performance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “FEMA will be a great discussion very soon,” he said. “I prefer to see the States dealing with their own problems.”

Mr. Trump continued: “Fema hinders everything.” Referring to Oklahoma, he said: “If they are struck by a tornado or something, let the Oklahoma repair it. You don’t need – then the federal government can help them with money. »»

Project 2025, the plan for a republican administration produced by the Heritage Foundation, calls for reversing the financial charge of the response to small disasters so that 75% are carried by the states and the rest by the federal government. Russell Vought, the 2025 project chief architect, is Mr. Trump’s choice to manage the management and budget office, where he would considerably shape the federal budget.

Mr. Trump’s comments to Fox News have left a lot unanswered, including the cost of disasters he wishes to place in states.
