Trump plans to scrap FEMA

Moving forward, Trump explained, states would be responsible for their own disaster relief, adding that federal aid would decrease and that what's left would be distributed by the White House.

"We're going to give it out directly. It'll be from the president's office. We'll have somebody here, could be Homeland Security," Trump said, per Reuters.
