President Donald Trump told reporters Friday that he plans on signing an executive order “fundamentally reforming” the Federal Emergency Management Agency “or maybe getting rid of them,”
“I think, frankly, FEMA is not good,” he said.

When pressed by reporters about his comments, Trump said he thought the agency was a “big disappointment.”
He once again floated the idea that the responsibility should be passed down to the states, and declined to give a timeline as to when he would end the agency.
