Trump Calls Newsom 'Newscum', Demands Water Restoration Plan Amid California Wildfires
Jan 8, 2025, 04:57 PM
Former President Donald Trump has publicly criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom, attributing the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles to Newsom's failure in forest management and water policy. Trump referred to Newsom as "Newscum" and demanded that he allow more water to flow into California, specifically mentioning the lack of water for fire hydrants and firefighting planes. Trump criticized Newsom for refusing a water restoration plan that would have utilized excess rain and snow melt, calling the situation "A true disaster!" The criticism comes amidst wildfires that have forced thousands to evacuate and have spotlighted Newsom's record on land management, which has been under scrutiny for not delivering on promised wildfire prevention strategies. Newsom declared a state of emergency in the Pacific Palisades area as the fires raged, highlighting the severity of the situation.
