Gavin Newsom plays nice with Trump after prez slammed gov over LA fires: ‘We’re going to need your help’
NY Post ^ | 1/24/25 | Steven Nelson, Josh Christenson

President Trump received a firm handshake from California Gov. Gavin Newsom as he exited Air Force One upon arrival in Los Angeles Friday — with the Democrat making nice after Trump blasted his management of the crisis.

“I appreciate the governor coming out and meeting me,” Trump told reporters on the tarmac. “We want to get it fixed.”

“You got hit by a bomb,” Trump said — likening the scenes of wildfires to the devastation of World War II.

“Most importantly, thank you for being here,” Newsom told Trump. “We’re going to need your support. We’re going to need your help.”

“You were there for us during COVID”

““Most importantly, thank you for being here,” Newsom told Trump. “We're going to need your support. We're going to need your help.”

Oh and never mind we just authorized $50 million to “Trump proof California.”
The governor and adulterer-in-chief is a narcissistic liar and clown.

I saw a live feed and Donald is wearing a ball cap to keep his hair in place. Newscum does not have a hair out of place, however. Must be that California water??

Newsom told Trump. “We’re going to need your support. We’re going to need your help.”

Not without conditions. CA needs to surrender it's water and forestry management to the federal government, since it has demonstrated that it is clearly incompetent to manage those areas itself.

Trump had been warning the country for years about Newsom’s lack of fire prevention. Specifically that he was dumping all the fresh water into the ocean and not creating fire breaks and clearing out dead wood.

NewSCUM waited with his hands in his back pocket, waiting for Trump to appear so he can beg for cash, and then trash him on twitter after wards..if Newsom has 25 mil in order to “Trump Proof” the state, I guess we are doing fine here no reason to give any dough

i need some help with installing a fed czar to take over ca fire protection and services.

i need some help re-purposing fed aid from a ‘high speed rail to nowhere’ to water projects for filling up all those empty reservoirs.

thanks gav. knew you’d understand.

Did you just see THAT!!!

Gavin Pelosi...I mean Newsom was falling all over President Trump!

Couldn't keep his hands off him! Almost kissed Trump when he got off the plane--did kiss Melania! All he needed was a MAGA hat! The hairspray took precedence.

Newsom was more obsequious than that Davos delegates--and that's saying plenty!

Do you suppose he'll announce he's becoming a Republican?

Do you suppose he'll hand over the goods he's got on Aunt Nancy?

But the President and the First Lady were gracious as always. Note tagline.

The people in Pacific Palisades need no help at all. They’ve got plenty of money.

Plenty of poor people can return to Mexico.

Trump should have given him the finger and said “I’m not helping you, I am helping the people.”

The clown newsome allocated 50 million to “Trump-proof” California... Make that clown spend 50 million fixing up the state...I heard that voter ID is on the table...
Then California COUNTIES (not the state) get the money directly after all is said and done.
Newsome is truly incompetent. Maybe a touch of personality disorder.
Little pitiful newsome....

“In exchange for Federal help, there are a few strings attached....”

The “few strings” would involve a wholesale reversal of all the “Trump-proofing”, INTELLIGENT forestland management, and dismantling the California Air Resources Board, which has made no significant technical advances in either water or air clean-up or regeneration since they have been organized, they simply prohibit a vast range of human activities that have little or nothing to do with air quality or health measures.

I love how Kaitlan edits the 2nd picture such that it looks like Newsom is the boss. In actuality, Trump was the boss and Newsom treated him like it. It's really pathetic that a CNN correspondent would post such dishonest media. Here is the full meeting unedited. pic.twitter.com/fvq0YUueXG— Kim "Katie" USA (@KimKatieUSA) January 25, 2025

I was really hoping that Trump would hold a press conference and make a speech with Newsom beside him, where Trump would say that he is starting an investigation to assign blame to the LA fires and find their root causes, because it is important to the American people. Then would indicate that the report would be published within X days.

That would give Newsom the message, that he can say whatever he wants to blame Trump or fight Trump..........but that Karma will come back to haunt Newsom.

Oh, well, Newsom got the message that he needs to play nice with Trump.

I also think that FEMA should be disbanded or at least its emergency functions should be transferred to the DOD and the various State National Guards.
