Trump Witholds Disaster Funds From California Over Petty Grievances
Speaking at a press gaggle Wednesday morning, Donald Trump said Gavin Newsom is going to have a lot of trouble getting disaster relief funds from the federal government because he's been mean to him.
I'm paraphrasing, but that is his feelings.
President Bone spur attacked California for having wildfires and equated us to Austria, that he claims lives in a forest with flammable trees.
Austria clapped back saying they live in cities and not in the forest. "“To clarify: No, we don’t have any exploding trees in Austria,” Austria’s agriculture minister Koestinger said.
Anyway, he was asked if his problems with California's rail system will affect him authorizing federal funds to help deal with the Pacific Palisades wildfires and he responded like a spoiled child rather than a US president helping a state out of a crisis.
Q Mr. President, with the rail funding in California, will your recent dust-ups with Governor Newsom impact additional wildfire relief out there?
They've requested $40 billion.
TRUMP: The man's incompetent.
He shouldn't have fires like that.
You clean the floor of your forest, and you won't have any forest fires. You know, Austria has very, very flammable trees.
They don't have forest fires because they clean the floors. They maintain their forest.
Good, in fact.
