Trump harshly criticized Federal Emergency Management Agency because of its hurricane response in North Carolina and said he would sign an executive order "overhauliong" or even abolishing the agency.

Speaking to reporters, the president predicted future disasters would need “probably less FEMA, because FEMA just hasn’t done the job. And we’re looking at the whole concept of FEMA.”

The president said the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been too bureaucratic and slow in its response to disasters.
