Here's how FEMA cuts will hit Trump country especially hard
Small towns that overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election are now facing increased vulnerability to deadly natural disasters after Trump cut Federal Emergency Management Agency funding.
According to The Associated Press, these towns are losing millions of dollars that were allocated to them by the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, which provided funding for projects to protect core infrastructure from weather events like hurricanes and floods.
But on April 4, the Trump administration ended that program, claiming in a FEMA press release authorized by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that it was wasteful and politicized. The administration did not provide any evidence to support these claims.
Since the start of his second term, Trump has gone to war against FEMA, and his Cabinet is taking actions to fulfill his pledge to eliminate FEMA.

(7,065 posts)I pay taxes, and in return have a reasonable expectation to receive the federal assistance I have paid for. If I'm not going to receive the benefits I was led to believe I'd receive from the various agencies that have now been illegally shuttered, I WANT TO BE COMPENSATED.
