Trump Blames Newsom and Biden for LA Wildfires, Vows to Demand Water Flow into California
Jan 8, 2025, 08:14 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has blamed California Governor Gavin Newsom and President Joe Biden for the massive wildfires devastating Los Angeles County, labeling their handling as "gross incompetence and mismanagement." Trump accused Newsom of refusing to sign a water restoration declaration that would have allowed millions of gallons of water from excess rain and snow melt to flow into California, alleging this contributed to water shortages hindering firefighting efforts. He claimed that Newsom prioritized protecting a "worthless fish" called the smelt over providing adequate water resources. Trump, referring to Newsom as "incompetent" and "Newscum," vowed to "demand" that more water be allowed to flow into California when he assumes office. The comments have escalated political tensions as the "apocalyptic" fires continue to rage across Southern California.
