FLETCHER, N.C. (AP) — President Donald Trump says he is considering “getting rid of” the Federal Emergency Management Agency. His comment on Friday offers the latest sign of how he is weighing sweeping changes to the nation’s central organization for responding to disasters. Speaking while on the first trip of his second term, Trump made the remark in North Carolina during a briefing on the monthslong recovery from Hurricane Helene. FEMA, Trump said, “has been a very big disappointment.” He said the agency is bureaucratic and slow.
