  • Trump calls for shutting down FEMA even as red states collect top funds - Trump supporters could end up hurt the worst

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's call to shut down the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), despite the fact that states that typically vote Republican receive a disproportionate amount of FEMA funds. According to the report, red states have been the top recipients of FEMA disaster relief funds, with states like Florida, Texas, and Louisiana leading in the amount of aid received. This comes at a time when FEMA is already stretched thin due to multiple natural disasters and the ongoing need for disaster preparedness and response. Critics argue that Trump's proposal could severely impact disaster response capabilities, especially in regions that rely heavily on federal aid for recovery efforts. The article highlights the irony and potential political motivations behind Trump's suggestion, given the reliance of his voter base on these very funds.
