  5. California Governor and Trump Trade Barbs Over Wildfires as Death Toll Rises and Destruction Mounts

California Governor and Trump Trade Barbs Over Wildfires as Death Toll Rises and Destruction Mounts

ai generated text

Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Los Angeles on January 24 to assess the damage from recent wildfires. Trump has been critical of California's governor, Gavin Newsom, accusing him of mismanaging forestry and water policies, which Trump believes contributed to the damage. However, California officials have refuted Trump's claims.

    1. This is not the time for politics and political games and finger-pointing.
    2. We need to come together to rebuild this great American city. And I urge President Trump to provide federal dollars quickly without conditions.

    1. We expect Congress to approve [future] aid without conditions. If there is a holdup for any political reason or added conditions, then the question is not what the governor can do to secure the money but why assistance for firestorm survivors is being held hostage.
    2. We will protect California against the flood of disinformation and assaults on our shared values, and work cooperatively with President Trump wherever possible.
    3. Disaster assistance should not be delayed or denied based on how people voted. That would be un-American.

    1. We had helicopters dropping water until around 3 am. That kept it in check.

    Gavin Newsom
    Democratic Party
    1. There's been a lot of noise, a lot of back-and-forth, a lot of positioning.
    2. I'm grateful that the president is taking the time.
    3. I hope he does take the time to listen to the folks impacted directly by these wildfires. I hope he has a chance to visit the folks in Altadena, not just in the Palisades. And I hope he comes with a spirit of cooperation and collaboration.
    4. By stationing resources and staff in key locations, we can help make a difference as we transition from fire response to storm preparedness.
    5. Even before we saw rain on the horizon in Los Angeles, I directed my departments and agencies to act fast to protect neighborhoods from potentially hazardous debris flows.
  5. US
    Donald Trump
    Republican Party
    1. We're going to take care of Los Angeles.
    2. FEMA has not done their job for the last four years. You know, I had FEMA working really well. We had hurricanes in Florida, we had Alabama tornados.
    3. I don't think we should give California anything until they let water flow down from the north to the south.
    4. It looked like our country was just helpless.
    5. But unless you have certain types of leadership, it gets in the way. And FEMA is going to be a whole big discussion very shortly because I'd rather see the states take care of their own problems.

    1. I'm hopeful they [Newsom and Trump] are going to rise above it and do the right thing.
