It’s also so that everyone has to use a private
Weather service like Accuweater, which is, of course, owned by a big Trump donor.

Farmers will not like this

Always sunny in Trumpland. Who are you going to believe when it’s rainy? Trump or your lying eyes?

Trump and his sharpies are our weather service now.

I live in Florida and I just hope every one of the f'in maroons who voted for him here is thrilled, thrilled, when we can't get reliable info during hurricane season.

Yes, but the agency was already understaffed.


By July it's going to be a lot more understaffed. If it exists at all.

I guess we, the public don't REALLY need good information about tornados , flash floods, incoming bad weather?
How does this help protect the US public, how will this affect air travel, cruise travel? How many will end up in danger or dead?
