President Donald Trump will visit Sacramento County on Monday to be briefed on the deadly wildfires that have charred more than 3 million acres across the state, the White House said on Saturday.
The visit will include local and federal fire officials responsible for battling the wildfires, said Judd Deere, a White House deputy press secretary.
“The President continues to support those who are battling raging wildfires in a locally-executed, state-managed, and federally-supported emergency response,” Deere said in a statement.
A California official confirmed to The Sacramento Bee that the briefing will be held in McClellan Park, a former Air Force based turned business park that is used by Cal Fire to organize wildfire response efforts. McClellan Airport often launches Cal Fire tankers loaded with fire retardant across the state.
Although the president often criticizes California’s wildfire response efforts and the forest management tactics, Gov. Gavin Newsom has reiterated Trump’s commitment to helping the state behind the scenes.

WE LOVE YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!! C A L I F O R N I A
“”McClellan Park, a former Air Force base””
Where my husband spent the remainder of his AF days - McClellan AFB (1957) in the AWACS RC121....”Triple Nickel” (555) which is now in the Air Force Museum at Wright Pat...When we lived in Dayton in 1972-1974, that plane was out front on display. My husband couldn’t believe it when we drove in. Now it’s been moved inside in the new additions.
Hope the president gets a good reception in Sacramento. It will be a barometer of what we can expect from the voters there. Has to be tough meeting and playing nice with a liberal - he’s of tougher stuff than we are.
We haven’t lived there in years so I don’t have any feeling for where the people are politics-wise but hopefully, they are Trump supporters and have the chance to show it.
Will Alfred E. Newsom be present?
So wish he’d go to Oregon. ..scare our bisexual beotch of a guv
Going to CA, I hope Trump doubles up his security.
