'Get your act together Governor. You don’t see close to the level of burn in other states,' Trump said in 2019
"The Governor of California, @GavinNewsom, has done a terrible job of forest management. I told him from the first day we met that he must ‘clean’ his forest floors regardless of what his bosses, the environmentalists, DEMAND of him. Must also do burns and cut fire stoppers," the former and upcoming president posted to X in 2019.
"Every year, as the fire’s rage & California burns, it is the same thing-and then he comes to the Federal Government for $$$ help. No more. Get your act together Governor. You don’t see close to the level of burn in other states," the thread continued.
Just roughly two weeks before Trump will be inaugurated as the nation's 47th president, he again took aim at Newsom's wildfire prevention leadership in the state, pinning blame for the LA County fires on Newsom and his environmental policies.
"Governor Gavin Newscum 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 posted to Truth Social on Wednesday.
"He 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!"

Democrats like Newsom and Bass think that being an elected Executive means going on vacation.
It is as if that having achieved election, their task has been accomplished.
Maybe they should start listening. He has been right all along after all
Yet another thing that Trump was right about.
Just like the SLA, Newsom went to down to LA and got smoked.
The leftist women in CA voted for Newsom because they thought he was cute....Snort!~
Pete Wilson told Gray Davis the big problem he’ll have with the assembly is spending.
What did he do? Th recall is all we need to know.
20 years ago. They don’t learn. Do we?
