Trump admonished Gov. Gavin Newsom for fire response
President-elect Trump’s first official trip of his second administration will be to visit Los Angeles areas devastated by wildfires, two sources confirmed to NewsNation.
Trump’s trip is scheduled for late next week, the sources said. The visit comes after deadly fires scorched hundreds of thousands of Southern California acres and killed at least 27 people.
The president-elect blasted California’s Democratic leadership, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, in the days following the blazes’ genesis.
“One of the best and most beautiful parts of the United States of America is burning down to the ground,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Jan. 8. “It’s ashes, and Gavin Newscum should resign. This is all his fault!!!”
That same day, he said Newsom should have signed a declaration to pump additional water to California, despite local regulations limiting the amount of water that can be pumped from the the nearby Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
