Gavin Newsom said he has called Donald Trump to discuss the wildfires emergency, but still hasn’t heard back from the President-elect.
Newsom sent a letter Friday urging Trump – who has been starkly critical of the governor’s policies and response since the outbreak last week – asking for him to lay down arms and come see the devastation for himself. A Fox LA reporter speaking with Newsom Saturday asked how that conversation was going.
“I’d like the President of the United States, at least the President-elect, to come and visit the people out here whose lives have been completely torn apart,” Newsom said. “I want them to visit and understand the magnitude of the scope of what happened to the American people that happen to reside here in California. And it’s with an open hand, not a closed fist. I’m not interested in politicizing an event like this. I don’t like the venality of it. I don’t like the inhumanity of that. I would like people to focus on a collaboration between the executive in Washington, D.C., and in the state of California to help rebuild a community that’s been completely ravaged.”
The reporter asked point-blank whether the two had spoken.
“No,” Newsom replied. “I just reached out to [Trump]. We invited him to come here. I worked very well, as you know … as it relates to the Woolsey Fire and the Camp Fire, when we first met, ironically. We worked very well during COVID. And so that’s my intention; it’s been from day one. We’ve said 100 times: open hand, not a closed fist.”

Yeah Gav has tried calling Trump SUREEE kind of like when he told that lady who confronted him he was talking to Biden yet when she looked at his phone guess what..NO PHONE CALL to the White House then he changed his story “oh Im trying to reach Biden” LOL..perhaps if he is trying to call Trump its coming back as “Spam Risk” just saying
It is December 12, 2025: call the president of the United States, Joe Biden. Mr. Trump is a private citizen, at the moment...
Apparently one of Newscum’s aides needs to informm the dumb bastard that Donald Trump has not been inaugurated, and therefore, has no reason to talk to the incompetent scumbag...
he isn’t president yet
Newsome should know the time and place for disingenuous theater. This ain’t it.
Call Biden. Trump has over a week before he’s pres. He can choose how he uses his time.
He called Hitler ?
Biden is the President for the net week Newscum
Stolen elections have consequences Newscum
No one wants to talk to a clown like you, Newsom. F you.
GelBoi wants Trump to visit the LA fire destruction zones. To get Trump tricked into making statements promising Federal rescue and bailout plans.
Joe has already told him that the government (read, us) is fixing it 100%! Doesn’t he believe him?
Doesn’t this fool know that Biden is the sitting President.
Who?
Trump can tell him, “Remember when I told you 7 years ago how to prevent this? The solution is still the same.”
That lady who confronted Gavin is the mother of a teenager.
She knows the signs of when kids are lying.
That’s probably how she saw the Governor acting.
He just made that request for Trump’s visit last week.
Already stamping his feet with impatience?
Trump has been kinda busy.
[Gavin Newsom Says Donald Trump Hasn’t Returned His Calls]
TRUMP isn’t officially President until January 20. Let him call BIDEN and KAMALA.
Gruesome Newsom is desperate to get bailed out of this hole he dug. Let him die in it.
