Gavin Newsom has pleaded with Donald Trump for help in containing the Orange County chemical plant as officials warned there was still a risk of catastrophe.

A chance for PDJT to show Democrats that he is their President unlike the Democrat controlled FEMA after the hurricane.
This retromingent dyslexic, adulterous, corrupt, jackass should not be given the time of day.
Isn’t Trump in Ghana? (snark)
This has been going on for several days. Why hasn’t the tank been drained by now?
Seems to me they could dump tons of wet sand on the tanks and literally bury them until they cool down?.............
“911...please hold”
That’s the problem. The valve is stuck............
The pumps are busted? WTH?
The Foreign-Owned Toxic Timebomb in Nanny-State California Should Never Have Been Where It Is
"Why would a highly toxic and flammable chemical be stored in a heavily populated residential area in a state that requires special permits just to paint your fence?"
Shave his head like Trump did to Vince McMahon in WrestleMania 23.
Shouldn’t he have called Hunter Biden? Isn’t Hunter the authority on crack?
