BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom sounds the alarm about Donald Trump withholding federal disaster aid to the fire-embattled state once he takes power.
This is chilling…
“He’s done it in Utah. He’s done it in Michigan, did it in Puerto Rico. He did it to California back before I was even governor, in 2018, until he found out folks in Orange County voted for him and he decided to give them money,” Newsom told NBC News.
“So he’s been at this for years and years and years. It transcends the states, including, by the way, Georgia, he threatened similarly,” Newsom continued. “So that’s his style. And we take it seriously to the extent that in the past it’s taken a little bit more time [to get federal aid].”
“I’ve been pretty expressive about that in the context of someone threatening our first responders in terms of supporting the immediacy of their needs,” he added.
The governor also pushed back on some of the lies that Trump has been spreading about California as the wildfires rage.
“I don’t know what he’s referring to when he talks about the Delta smelt in reservoirs. The reservoirs are completely full, the state reservoirs here in Southern California,” Newsom said.
Tragedies like this are why Donald Trump never should have been elected. At a time when all Americans should be coming together to help California, he’s exploiting the tragedy for cheap political points.

@PopBase She's no draw. All the more reason to skip it this time. Historical only because a Felon will be swearing his allegiance to our democracy just prior to destroying it.
@quadcarl@Kerrybear100 Yeah, the absurdity that President Obama was stuck sitting beside the Melon Felon most assuredly had just hit him. Of course, it also could have been the MF said something really stupid.
@RpsAgainstTrump This is hilarious. The Melon Felon is trying to create a "valid" reason why he is going to fail at yet another one of his campaign promises to lower prices. Poor old orange boy-child. #TrumpTariffs#TrumpSucksAtEverything
@StoneJAlex@JoJoFromJerz Is common sense hard? Let's not forget he wanted the mags taken out because those bearing arms were not there to hurt him. How in hell would the Melon Felon know that unless it was all preplanned?
Has #NewOrleans heard of garbage trucks? Heavy dump trucks? Why weren't they blocking any opening to the parade route? #NOLA party planners, you failed.
