The wildfires are raging in Southern California, more than 2,000 homes have been destroyed, 10 people have died and the fires continue to rage on, and what do we get from the man who will be leading our nation in two weeks? Criticism of the governor and an absolute desire to make this political.

 

Is this his version of diplomacy, is this his version of decency, humanity and sympathy? Is this really the best he can do and the best that he has to offer in the way of leadership? 

 

As thousands flee their homes in California due to wildfires, US President-Elect Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on Governor Gavin Newsom, saying "this is all his fault" and he must quit. Earlier, Trump alleged that the Governor's policies were to blame for the situation in some of the US's most prominent cities. The Governor has hit back, saying people are fleeing and the President-Elect's response is to politicise it.

Among the worst-hit areas is Los Angeles, home to top Hollywood celebrities. At least five people have been killed and 2,000 buildings damaged as firefighters struggle to control the blaze. Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone said they don't have enough firefighters to tackle the situation. "We're doing the very best we can. But no, we don't have enough fire personnel in LA County between all the departments to handle this," he said, according to an AFP report.

What has the current President done?✅ 

 

Newsom has the buck.  He’s failed.

So typical of a Trump supporter, always deflection and never an answer to the question at large. 

Waiting for “It’s Trumps fault “.

Easy to see who the dumb one is by the replies that don't even address the OP. 

He's a scumbag which everyone paying attention already knew.

With maga cruelty and ignorance is the point.

Yet he was indeed voted in. 

So here we (and the world) are.

luckily he didn't blame the undocumented/illegal immigrants, maybe they would be next on line to be blamed

It's not Newsom's fault, or Biden's fault. It's the inevitable result of climate change, and it will get worse.

 

Trump is doing his usual thing, no surprise there. As he is a narcissistic sociopath, expecting decency or compassion is a bridge too far.

 

Most political leaders left or right, are not equipped to understand or deal with what is coming. The number in the world with scientific qualifications can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Now that is the definition of deflection @spidermike007

 

Absolutely nothing to do with the fires.

 Farther down but in your case that’s a good thing.

Are you surprised by any of this?

He is an ahole, since many years. Nothing about his behavior is a surprise to anybody watching.

It would be a surprise if he would first collect the facts, then think carefully, and then talk.

So not Newsom or Biden fault but yet you’re trying to make it Trump’s fault.

 

While Newsom and Biden are currently active Governor and President, respectively.

 

The logic of the leftists brain is mind boggling.

 

Naturally if Trump was the sitting President it would of been his fault.

What does this have to do with the California fires?

 

 

Any parent that encourages their child to emulate the behavior of Trump deserves a visit from child protective services.

Or the Greenlanders - one more reason to use military force against them. 

Let's face it, the man's a nut-case.

How is he trying to make it Trump's fault?....he said it's down to climate change......oh wait...yes, climate change is down to Trump...drill baby drill....so you're correct I guess.

There are many factors to blame for this, climate change is certainly one of them, the fact that Southern California has barely gotten a drop of rain since the beginning of rainy season two and a half months ago, and the city of Los Angeles bears the brunt of some of the blame. They cut  16 million dollars from the fire department budget recently, and they lowered the pressure in the fire hydrants city wide for some incredibly dumb reason.

 

So, if Trump had done just 10 minutes of research which he seems to be allergic to, he would have blamed the city rather than the governor. But as we know Trump does not read, so that kind of thing is a near impossibility.

Exactly what every other president besides trump would do.

Any Australian with bushfire experience will tell you once a crown fire starts, forest litter is fairly insignificant.

 

Some tree species start emitting oils after days of extreme heat. When a flame front with its radiation hits said trees, they literally explode. Attempting to fight fires under such conditions is suicidal.

 

IIRC Trump never blamed De Santis for the loss of life and property in the aftermath of the Florida hurricanes

By now his supporters probably don't expect facts or logic. He rambles and they like it. It's like a religion.

Please point me to anywhere in that post I said it is Trump's fault.

 

Perhaps you need to brush up on reading comprehension.

But the problem is, that you have to find a person on this planet or AI who can make Trump understand what the meaning of the words "Decency and Compassion" is. Good luck with that.

I have no hope that he will ever understand that.

I had some hope that the majority of American people would understand this.

But it seems over 70,000,000 of them also don't know what that is. That problem is much bigger than the fact that the orange one doesn't understand it.
