Trump Calls Officials Handling Los Angeles Wildfires ‘Incompetent’
His post did not mention any officials by name.
Donald Trump's Comments on LA Fires Proves He Was Right When He Said "I never understood wind." Trump doesn't understand wind and we should take him at his word because as he's said before "I'm smart...like, really smart...a very stable genius.” and “Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart." We all know Trump is playing with all his marbles and is among the sharpest cookies around.
Now what Trump knows very much about is Blowing Smoke and Hot Air. He knows about conflagrations. Conflagrations, a big word. But we can all rest assured that Trump has studied conflagrations better than anybody. He knows it is very expensive, that they are popular in California and Democratic Cities mostly, very few being popular in places like Mar a largo and New York City, almost none, but we all know conflagrations are manufactured, tremendous — if you are unaware of this — tremendous flames, smoke, fumes, and gases are spewing into the atmosphere. Like Trump has said "You know we have a world, right?”
Trump:
“So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about fake manmade climate change and the carbon footprint, flames, smoke, fumes, and gases are spewing into the air, right spewing, coming to the rest of America, carried by the wind.”
Now:
Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles County authorities have invited President-elect Donald J. Trump to tour the devastation, but he has not publicly responded.
President-elect Donald J. Trump offered fresh criticism early Sunday of the officials in charge of fighting the Los Angeles wildfires, calling them “incompetent” and asking why the blazes were not yet extinguished.
“The fires are still raging in L.A.,” Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social site. “The incompetent pols have no idea how to put them out.”
...
Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles...said that any evaluation of mistakes or failures by “any body, department, individual” would come later.
Mr. Newsom, a Democrat, has also fended off criticism from Mr. Trump, who blamed him for the failure to contain fires and claimed he had blocked an infusion of water to Southern California over concerns about how it would affect a threatened fish species.
Mr. Newsom’s press office responded by saying in a statement that the “water restoration declaration” that Mr. Trump had accused him of not signing did not exist. “The governor is focused on protecting people, not playing politics, and making sure firefighters have all the resources they need,” the statement said.
Mr. Newsom and Kathryn Barger, the chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, have invited Mr. Trump to tour fire damage in the city. He has not responded publicly to those invitations.
At least 16 people had died as a result of the fires as of Sunday morning, and at least 12,000 structures had been destroyed, officials said. Mr. Trump alluded to that devastation in his post on Sunday.
“Thousands of magnificent houses are gone, and many more will soon be lost,” he wrote. “There is death all over the place. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the history of our Country. They just can’t put out the fires. What’s wrong with them?”
