FEMA had problems for sure but Biden was doing something about that. Fast forward to Trump, he killed all the programs meant to boost the performance of FEMA because he wants to KILL FEMA completely.
And force states to cover multi billion dollar disasters, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and the like, where the damage could be MANY billions putting the cost out of reach for a lot of states but do you think Trump gives a rats ass about THAT?
Trump HATES to give money to ANYONE, ANY STATE and ESPECIALLY giving money to blue states.
What money he does give out will be aimed directly to Red states and THAT is his MO.

Just the title of this thread made me laugh out loud. Hey when you picture a president visiting a Disaster site, in your mind pops which one…… Biden or Trump? Which one do you see going to the Disaster sites when you first think of that?? Don’t lie now, there’s no lying on the forum

Did Biden ever get around to going there?
There were others he ignored, too busy sitting at the beach on weekends.

Yes, President Biden has visited several disaster sites during his presidency. He has traveled to areas impacted by various natural disasters, including hurricanes and floods.
For example, in October 2024, President Biden toured damage in St. Petersburg, Florida, after hurricanes Helene and Milton, meeting with officials and survivors to assess the recovery efforts. He also approved federal disaster assistance in six states affected by Hurricane Helene. Additionally, in September 2024, he traveled to North and South Carolina to survey the damage from Hurricane Helene, including an aerial tour of Asheville. In September 2021, he toured flood damage in New York and New Jersey caused by Hurricane Ida, emphasizing the need to improve infrastructure and combat climate change"
Trump did also:
"During his first term as president, Trump visited disaster zones such as:
Hurricane Harvey in Texas (2017): Surveyed damage and met with victims.
Hurricane Irma in Florida (2017): Conducted an aerial survey of damage and served lunch to survivors.
Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico (2017): Met with officials and storm victims, but the trip also sparked controversy when he was seen tossing paper towels to the crowd.
Hurricane Florence in North and South Carolina (2018): Met with governors and other officials and handed out supplies.
Hurricane Michael in Georgia and Florida (2018): Toured the affected areas, including visiting farmers who lost crops.
Tornadoes in Alabama (2019): Surveyed damage and met with victims after signing a major disaster declaration.
Wildfires in California (2018): Visited the site of a deadly wildfire and pledged federal aid."
What is your point here? Biden tried to FIX FEMA.
Trump wants to DESTROY FEMA and you cannot deny that.
@sonhouse saidNext thing you know Trump will be skipping democrat victims, and lying to the people about train wreck chemicals giving them cancer.

Or I will build the wall and Mexico will pay for it.
Or I will end the Ukraine war in 24 hours.
Or I will bring down the price of groceries on day one.
You think I am wrong, PROVE it.

How can Biden be catatonic and a criminal mastermind at the same time?

@sonhouse saidHey Sunhouse, if Trump tried to fix FEMA, he would fix it, just like he is fixing everything else right now. Fixing 12 things at once. Are you sure you don’t wanna mail like that running our country. The problem is you and Maybe 69 million other people do not agree with Trump doing what he’s doing. So why don’t we write about that for the next three years. Geez

Did you ever give us a reason why Trump should not be trying to fix things? If the water main breaks in my yard, I don’t even know anything about water mines, but I guess I would go out there with a bunch of towels and maybe some spot welded in a tube that I might get at the hardware store, and maybe get some advice, and maybe take a shovel out there. Do you get my drift? I could stay inside and watch Rachel Maddow show. And take a nap, like Biden did. Do you not get my drift? Do you want a do-nothing administration?
@Cliff-Mashburn saidLol nobody said he was catatonic? Nobody said he grifted money from foreign govts and cleaned the money so as to make it untraceable except through a broken laptop that Rudy Giuliani picked up at a pawn shop ?
He spoke all the time and nobody said he was either of those things.
@AverageJoe1 saidRIght, FIX FEMA. He already fired over 200 employees and they were short handed BEFORE the firings. 17 thousand employees to handle ALL the disasters in the US.

Earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes.
Hey why not fire HALF of them? Then disaster relief would be a national problem.
Well, why not get rid of FEMA completely, let states do disaster recovery?
So a major Earthquake in Utah, 20 billion in damage, Don't look at us FEDS for help, figure it out yourselves.
THAT is what Trump is after and BTW SAID SO ON TV IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF VIEWERS.
@sonhouse saidYou keep writing about what you do not agree with. I don't agree with giving citizens money to pay tuitions. My example is this, ....why??? Because I am right, and you are wrong. So do you REALLY want to banter about that, Sonhouse????..Geex. Go back to Jan 6.

Not about anything else. You clearly don't have the mental chops to see ANYTHING going on with Trump, for you just a totally nice guy with ONLY the welfare of our citizens.
@sonhouse saidSonhouse, I believe that dept of education should be totally shut down. Libs are exactly diff from conservatives. We HATE waste AND regulation. And yes, states should look to Fed govt for some emergencies, and Fema is one of those agencies. You see, they did not help Asheville, which pissed Trump off. Imagine that, Sonhouse...It did not seem to bother Biden, why did it bother Trump? Golly, I wonder what the diff is. Maybe Trump gets things done, and he starts from scratch. I hope he fires everyone at FEMA.

Earthquake? Yeah fed needs to consider that. Of course, Utah does have to pitch in, do they not? Do taxpayers in South Carolina, where I have a place where there are no earthquakes, have to pay for Utah!?!?!? Now you come back with "AvJoe, trump wants to stop the funding of the fast rail in California!!" God, I hiope so. you see , if we give billions to the loser state CA, then why not send 10 Billion to Mississippi, they can use it for something. To use Marauder word of this morning, you are stupid.
You are getting like Sue-her.
If I leave my Florida home and move to Kansas to avoid flooding, should I have to pay for hurriane damage in Florida where losers decide to live on the coast and get wiped out? Same for earthquakes. Don't take risks that you need not take, and don't pay for those who lose.
Stupid
