As a resident of LA County I am so grateful that our President is bringing attention to the criminal inadequacy of FEMA. Please let us remember the victims of the Maui fires.

FEMA is a wonderful VOLUNTEER organization.

[@marlenecarter1109]

@ FEMA is FEDERAL Emergency Management AGENCY. There is a significant difference between the Federal Agency, which is suppose to oversee the provision of emergency assistance, and the volunteers who are boots on the ground, providing services.

[@booyakashaboy7250]

I love how Trump cares so much about the forgotten. The little things he does like going to a barber shop to talk to regular people while he was running, picking up that Marines cover putting it back on his head and even adjusting the mic for these people speaking. Doing these seemingly little things all the while being in the position he's in. He is a true man of character. A man of the people.

Without Googling, tell the class what FEMA’s mission statement is.

[@vespaman101]

Because Republicans intentionally defunded it.

[@harriseversman4187]

These people are suffering because none of you Gravy Seals and Republiklansman live here. Billions of dollars of damage was done, entire water treatment plants are still buried. Mobile water treatment plants (multiple, not one or two or three, multiple) have been brought in. The total damage done won’t be fixed for years, but you would know this if you actually worked the disaster (I did), you would know this if your only news source wasn’t Donald Trump, and actively still spreading misinformation.

[@trisflo]

I live there. Yes, FEMA was great and had tankers with potable water, showers, toilets, laundry facilities and hot food for us, putting up people in hotels. Many of these people did not have insurance, which is crazy if you live by a river. So, insurances are not charities and they won't pay for rebuilding, that's how it is.

[@Dale-e8u]

A bunch of ignorant, lost people. FEMA, is a life line for those in calamity. It's not FEMA's fault for any of that. Trump, will say and do anything to have his own way.
