Upon taking office, President Trump pushed to downsize the agency and shift the responsibility of disaster response toward states. Under his former homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, Mr. Trump moved to slash the agency’s funding and staff.

So Drumpf threw a bone to an incompetent, loyal, delusional moron by putting him in a leadership role at an agency he wants to undermine.

Call me crazy, but I think this could be part of a larger pattern.
