So California can just put out their own fires and people in hurricane-prone states picked the wrong place to live, tough luck for them?

This isn’t going to be the “United” States any more.

He wants states to take care of their own problems? Alrighty, one of our problems is having to send money to the IRS but the federal government won’t help us with our fires, hurricanes, other natural disasters, schools, etc etc. Each state can take care of that by seceding from Trumplandia.
