Source: LA fires: Trump blames Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom as California blazes intensify
US President-elect Donald Trump has blamed California Governor Gavin Newsom and President Joe Biden for the widespread disaster caused by the Los Angeles wildfires, which have killed five people, destroyed more than 1000 buildings and left more than 1 million people without power.
“Governor Gavin Newscum (sic) refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way,” Trump wrote in one of several posts on his social media platform, Truth Social.
The president-elect, whose term begins in less than a fortnight, added that Newsom “wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid. I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this. On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!”
