Trump Blames Gavin Newsom for California Wildfires
Former President Donald Trump recently attributed California's rampant wildfires to the failures of Governor Gavin Newsom. During a discussion, Trump claimed that Newsom has had multiple opportunities to address the water crisis in the state, which he believes has significantly contributed to the current disaster.
Trump criticized Newsom for prioritizing the protection of an endangered fish species, the delta smelt, over the needs of California's residents. He stated that while millions of gallons of water have been directed into the Pacific Ocean to save this fish, the state's infrastructure for managing wildfires has deteriorated due to a shortage of water for fire hydrants and firefighting equipment.
