Trump’s conflict with California authorities in the Los Angeles fire

According to Isna, US President-elect Donald Trump raised a new round of criticism against Democratic politicians and criticized them for their inability to control the massive fire in the state of California.

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bess have been heavily criticized by Trump and his allies. Meanwhile, these democratic politicians are also facing many questions from their constituencies and even their fellow parties.

But the attacks by Trump and his supporters, including Elon Musk, many of which are misleading or based on false reports, have set the stage for clashes between the president-elect and liberal cities and states ahead of his inauguration. These conflicts are reminiscent of Trump’s tensions with the officials of states and cities that are mostly American Democrats in 2020 and in the days of the Corona epidemic. At the time, liberal officials were trying to manage their tensions with Trump, fearing that Trump would interfere with federal support funds.

According to CNN, Newsom is familiar with the conflict with Trump, but the current crisis in Los Angeles presents him with a unique and more urgent challenge. This governor, who is a potential candidate for the 2028 presidential election, expressed his disappointment with Trump’s rhetoric; But he also invited him to the fire area to witness the damage.

In a recent interview with CNN, he took a scathing tone against Trump, saying, “People are really fleeing and losing their lives. Children have lost their schools. Families have been completely torn apart and churches burned, but this man (Trump) wanted to politicize this issue! I have a lot to say and I know what I want to say, but I won’t say it!”

Republicans have also targeted Karen Bess, the governor who was on a business trip to Ghana when the Los Angeles fire started. Republican politicians generally make the claim that the Democrats were indifferent to the dangers of this catastrophic fire and were not sufficiently prepared to deal with it due to their focus on promoting liberal ideological policies.

“Richard Grenell”, Trump’s special representative for “special missions”, wrote in a message on the X social network (formerly Twitter): “The far-left policies of the Democrats in California have really destroyed us. “Stop voting for people who refuse to manage water and forest resources rationally.”

According to the American media, the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles are both clearly angry about these criticisms and want to confront Trump, but at the same time they know that starting next week they should seek funding for the long-term reconstruction of the affected areas and cooperate with Trump will need.

JD Vance, Trump’s deputy, said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday morning, in response to the question of whether California’s support funds will be cut when Trump starts to work, “Trump cares about all Americans, and the president cares about everyone.” It’s the Americans.” In the 2024 US presidential election, the state of California voted for Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris by a margin of 20%.
