A key population harmed by Donald Trump’s proposed shutdown of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would be Americans living in “tornado alley” in the central U.S. and the flood and hurricane states of the southeast, which include a huge percentage of the president’s MAGA supporters.

On a visit to a North Carolina neighborhood destroyed by Hurricane Helene, President Trump was highly critical of FEMA, suggesting it should be shut down. Trump arrived late Friday in Los Angeles to visit an area destroyed by a wildfire.
