Trump’s First Trip, to North Carolina and California: What We Know So Far

Joel B. Pollak 23 Jan 2025

President Donald Trump is scheduled to make the first trip of his second term on Friday, when he will visit victims of natural disasters in North Carolina and California that, many believe, were worsened by government incompetence.

He will begin by flying to North Carolina to visit with those affected by flooding caused by Hurricane Helene last fall. He visited the western part of the state during his presidential campaign, and will now return as president.

Trump will then take Air Force One to Los Angeles, where he will visit communities devastated by the ongoing wildfires there. He will gain three hours in his schedule due to the time difference.

It is not clear which airport he will use in L.A., given the need for airspace to fight the fires, and the potential disruption a presidential visit causes to traffic patterns. Typically, however, the president lands at LAX.

Breitbart News observed four V-22 Osprey helicopters circling the area of Pacific Palisades, apparently using the field at the Will Rogers Polo Club, inside a nearby state park, to land.

Trump Showdown Looms with Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass in California

President Donald Trump’s imminent visit to fire-ravaged Los Angeles on Friday will bring him into direct contact — and conflict — with Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, both of whom have failed to protect the city.

Trump: California Shouldn’t Get Disaster Money Until They Change Water Policies

During a portion of an interview aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” President Donald Trump argued that California should not get any money for disaster relief until there are changes made to the state’s water policies.

Hopefully the people in NC will finally get some much needed relief and get those living in tents into warm and safe housing.

This is an agency that needs a complete overhaul.

Trump warns FEMA faces a reckoning after Biden admin: 'Not done their job'

President Donald Trump warned late Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is set to face a reckoning following four years under the Biden administration, arguing the emergency agency has "not done their job."

"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 tornadoes. But unless you have certain types of leadership, it's really, 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," Trump said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, his first White House interview since his inauguration.

Trump then turned his attention to the state of Oklahoma, touting that he won all 77 of the state's counties in the 2024 election, and arguing that if the Sooner State is hit by a tornado, state leaders should take the lead on emergency response before the federal government steps in for additional assistance.

"I love Oklahoma, but you know what? If they get hit with a tornado or something, let Oklahoma fix it. … And then the federal government can help them out with the money. FEMA is getting in the way of everything, and the Democrats actually use FEMA not to help North Carolina," Trump continued.

Hopefully when Trump overhauls FEMA we'll see our insurance rates go down -- the $$ is going somewhere and it sure as heck isn't going to U.S. citizens in need.

Looks like FEMA has been a mediary in some money shuffle, and got caught with their pants down in a real problem situation. Staffed with people of questionable motivation in regards to the primary mission, and the Agency has become an apparent liability instead of an asset, especially where the rubber meets the road, or at least where the road used to be...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hopefully he makes FEMA higher-ups get their @$$es down to NC and stay there in Motel 6 until real relief is happening.

As for California fires, forcing Federal forestry higher-ups to move into tents in the Angeles National Forest until actual brush and dead tree clearance is happening would be a long overdue move.

I'm just pleased to see he's going to North Carolina. Those poor folks have been forgotten. LA has and will get plenty of attention because...well LA.

MSNBC doesn't care about those rubes and hicks up in Appalachia.  They ain't the limousine liberal types they kowtow too.

I’m watching Trump with North Carolina families, helping them publicly name the insurance companies not helping them timely. He’s doing such a great job advocating for them. This moment is really kind and special. I’ve never seen a President do this. This isn’t his job. But he’s gifting them a moment of his humanity. Very sweet.

Trump has a lot of flaws but his genuine concern for Americans in need — this is so commendable and unique among politicians.
