Not one word of empathy for the Americans losing their homes. I guess Californians are not the right type of Americans for trump. Just another attack while American people suffer. Fuck trump.
All his life Trump has demonstrated some form of emotional arrest at the age of 6 or so. He's a spoiled brat, a hellion, a stunted guttersnipe at heart.
California needs to refuse to overpay federal taxes that support red states that underpay - you know, "socialism". If Trump isn't going to fund California for their disasters, California needs to stop funding these deadbeat states. Let them "pull themselves up by their bootstraps"
Live in Southern California and LOVE Newsom. He gives great a press conference and watching his yesterday there with all the fire fighters … man … love him - and his dig at trump was so legit!
Already missing the days where a president promises support and relief efforts in the face of a natural disaster. Instead we’ve got little donnie rottencrotch calling names on the playground again. 🙄
What a childish, petty little piece of shit he is.
His stupid little nicknames are not very presidential.
But then again, nothing the motherfucker does is very presidential.
“Just a horrible specimen of human DNA! Nothing will rival the amount of hatred and revenge this man/child has shown us! D.Trump has all the symptoms of a demonic pathological disease! A heartless soul!” @nytimes.com @maryltrump.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @democrats.org @joyannreid.bsky.social
He understands that wealthy Central Valley farmers, who reliably vote GOP, want to draw more water from the San Joaquin Delta. That it has absolutely nothing to do with the fires in LA is irrelevant to him.
There is no public record of a 'water restoration declaration' arriving at the governor's desk. However, newsom did veto senate bill 366, and assembly bill 828 in 2024. The bills focused on ground water recharge and storm runoff, and appeared to be bipartisan.
When will any “moral leaders” come to a press conference after such terrible devastation continues, and reminds the world that THIS type of denigrating behavior of a leader is NOT who the USA is ethically or morally during tragedy?
When will our elected politicians stop abandoning character?
GOOD.
Keep hitting Democrats in the head.
Make them see that they have to declare total war on this guy. Because right now they don't get it.
The leadership is fearful. They have to see that they have nothing to lose.
There is no excess water from rain or snow melt in the North
We need every drop of it
What we need to do is stop cities that have no water from expanding
LA, Vegas and Phoenix....
Which has absolutely nothing to do with the fires in LA. The only lack of water involved there was a lack of rain to water the tinder-dry brush. LA has gotten 0.16" instead of the normal 4.5" by now. And the problem with hydrants in Palisades was that they couldn't pump it fast enough for demand.
It occurs to me that Trump has never lived anywhere where plants grow naturally, watered only by rainfall. He probably thinks we didn't have enough water to run the sprinklers.
He also thinks they can take water from the Pacific Ocean and put it in the fire hydrants. He's not aware those pipes are potable water, and if salt water used instead, there would no longer be any pipes.
Exactly. Although the helicopters and super scooper planes CAN use salt water on the fires, if the wind is calm enough to allow them to fly and land on the ocean, respectively. Which it wasn't.
Seriously, what is wrong with this 78 year old who still needs to belittle others with these ridiculous nicknames. Dude has some serious insecurities. Wish he would crawl back in the the hole he came out of.
Why should blue states stay in the US? Seriously, one good reason? He won’t help with funding this disaster even though we pay for it and all the red states. Seriously, secede and let the red states wallow in filth.
I'm sure elected Democrats will put an end to this by working in unison to bring attention to it and flood the MSM in a coordinated effort which will force even FOX to echo their concerns
There is always an ulterior motive for what that Orange guy rants about. He is only here to protect the rich and line his pockets. Do NOT be fooled! He helps those who pay him!
Thank you. It’s like no one has learned how to deal with Trump over 8 yrs.
Ignore his crazy thoughts until he actually acts on them. Stop freaking out over every stupid thing he says. That’s literally what he wants. He’s weak & a coward
All the nonsensical rants he does are a planned distraction, it takes outragefor a story to grow legs. Ignore the bustard
He doesn't want ya'll to see and talk about what they're really doing.
Climate change is already fueling wildfires. This study shows a 42% increase in risk in NW America and will keep rising. Want this to stop or is the price of #theeggs more important? Drilling more just delays the inevitable and the consequences will be worse. #Climate #wildfires
#trump
“Her”! I assume you’re speaking of VP Harris. There’s a certain group of ppl in this country who are determined to destroy it bec they can’t stand the thought of others getting ahead. It’s not eggs or brainwash, it’s just hate, plain & simple.
Yet, in that particular subgroup's twisted derangement, they're too grounded in hate and bigotry to realize that they gain nothing by attacking or destroying our norms and institutions.
Ikr? Fucking wild, although I still harbor some doubts about these statistically extremely unlikely results benefiting a person that has cheated throughout his life and the richest man in the world.
Trump is, of course, lying. Diversions of freshwater in the Delta are about preventing salinity in area water supplies, and hardly at all about protecting fish.
And have absolutely nothing to do with the fires in LA. The only lack of water involved there was a lack of rain to water the tinder-dry brush. LA has gotten 0.16" instead of the normal 4.5" by now. And the problem with hydrants in Palisades was that they couldn't pump it fast enough for demand.
But it magically should have been, according to people who don't have to try to build it. Instead of three huge million-gallon tanks to feed hydrants, why didn't they have 20 of them?
Then imagine the city council / state assembly hearings about funding something like that...
Everyone is an expert! It's so easy, just build massive pumping stations to add salt water into the existing infrastructure that's not designed for it. To say nothing of salting the land
Aircraft sometimes use seawater, and are doing that now, but it's corrosive, requires careful maintenance after
There were reports of some hydrants in Pacific Palisades not having water, but the extent and cause aren't known yet. It very definitely was *not* an LA-wide outage. Losing mayoral candidate Rick Caruso didn't bother with details like that. Nor, apparently, do you.
Makes no sense. If the hydrants had no water, the houses would also have had no water. They probably just used it all up firefighting. And if the water is supplied by local reservoir, well, no rain = you might run dry. I live in SoCal. Water is always an issue, no matter what.
Exactly, the linked story explains that in further detail. Palisades had water to start, but began running out in late afternoon and so much water was being used to fight fires at lower elevations that there wasn't enough pressure to refill the 3 million-gallon tanks in Palisades.
Lots of coastal municipalities here get water from gravity-powered systems (our home does). They work fine under normal circumstances. What’s happening there now isn’t normal. But it’s probably about to be.
Note: that LA Times story was updated between when I first saw it and the time I linked to it, so the "extent" was definitely more than "some" in Palisades. Sorry for not rereading the story before linking.
Further details; basically, there was enough water lower down, but the three tanks (1 million gallon each) for Palisades were depleted over time and there wasn't enough pressure to both fight lower fires and replenish tanks uphill. That's the kind of thing that can happen in a vast emergency.
It's not like there isn't some giant water source they could dip down into to get water, because I sincerely doubt the fire is going to quibble over the salt content.
I mean there have been water rights battles over the Colorado River but by the time it reaches California it is a trickle. I didn't realize there was a river flowing from Washington to California. But I think there are a couple of books about the Colorado thing.
I thought the only river that comes from outside of California is the Colorado but I will admit, I'm not up on that. I do know there is the river that has one of the US Reserve Fleets (saw it from the Zephyr). But I would imagine the water for that part of California comes from the Sierras.
I feel for these Blue State Governors because they are going to have to face things like this and a Hostile Federal Government for the next number of years.
I'm old enough to remember when that asshole suggested injecting bleach into out bodies, nuke hurricains and rake the forrests. Oh what a shitshow the next 4 years will be!!!!
Just a small take on one of many issues with this statement.
“a worthless fish called a smelt”
What a giant a-hole. No care for anything in this world.
I’ll happily admit that I’m a dedicated smelt fisher, and it’s huge in my area to feed people.
Every year my family smelted to bring home food to eat. Just because that silver spoon in the mouth bastard ate steak and lobster we survived on smelt!! He makes me sick!🤢
Thank God Biden is still in charge, or these poor people would have more than just the fire to worry about. There would be no help coming to them at all. Trump would put his disdain for Newsom ahead of the safety of the victims.
That's the LEAST problematic part of this statement that is a beautiful, clean, fresh demonstration of his priority of sowing cognitive dissonance as he demonstrates again his lack of basic elementary understanding of climate or weather or geography.
#andsoitbegins has PINO Trump got Alzheimer's as he appears to have no grasp of reality. He is also looking old ... I mean VERY old & a bit ill ... just saying ...
Trump wants unsustainable water transfers to big almond farmers/donors in the San Joaquin Valley. That has nothing to do with the fires in Los Angeles.
Traitorous25 LOVES to talk about problems, and when he does talk about solutions they are always ridiculous ideas that create lots of victims.
He is literally the exact opposite of what you would want in an effective politician.
Fuck him. We expected a crappy statement like this. No one cares. Our LA community is suffering devastating loss. We will take care of our neighbors. And we can count on our caring CA government from Gov. Newsom on down.
California's reservoirs are at or above historical levels, and the major reservoirs in Southern California are at 140%, 135%, 125% and 99% historical levels and virtually filled to the brim. Trump's talking point is deranged and false.
This smug know it all attitude is infuriating. If this man had not lived such a privileged life this attitude would have gotten him multiple punches in the face by now.
Oh ffs. That orange shit stain has told us to 'rake our forest floors' and to 'turn on a large faucet' to fix our wildfires over here. 4 years. Have to hear about his batshit crazy for 4 years.
Spewing lies, hate, and misinformation while middle class Americans are dealing with loss of their homes, livelihoods and communities……such unbelievable ugly leadership, that Americans voted to have in place for the next 4 years…..
This guy is beyond dangerous , it’s really getting out of hand down there & I’ve no idea what anyone’s gonna do. I know I can survive in Algonquin park a few years & hope he chokes on a big Mac !
This is stochastic terrorism. His morons are trolling us now. He's created this indefensible divide since his first election and during every tragedy, his evil piece of shit followers attack and insult us and the victims. The anti-humane party.
What a disgrace that the soon to be “president” would attack the Governor of the most populous state like this. Trump is trash. The water planes are grounded because of the wind. The giant water fountain he spoke of during the campaign is a figment of his imagination.

Too much of America STAYED THE FUCK HOME for this.
Sigh.

The convicted felon also demonstrates he had no understanding about how to be a good human being.

I bet that zero members of Congress stand up to Donzo over his comments about the wildfires.

No competent General is going to go along with this. He can fire them & replace them with ppl who have zero clue how to plan & lead an army into war
He doesn't want ya'll to see and talk about what they're really doing.

That seems insane to me.

Wait....How did these California fires start ????? 🤔

“What should Trump be saying to frightened and weary Californians?”
Etc. Pound them.

Pretty sure we need to rethink this name-calling strategy.
Trump’s lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy.
"A fish called a smelt": this is the only fish I could think of
"Gallons of water from excess rain and snow melt": I represent Americans with the intelligence of a 2nd grader
"Millions": Subconsciously, I want you to think "money"
"Newscum": I like to pretend I'm Johnny Carson
i hate my "fellow americans" for allowing it
