Trump Considers Trip to California to Assess Wildfire Damage

Los Angeles: So, it looks like President-elect Trump is thinking about heading to California soon. He wants to check out the damage from those wildfires that hit last week. Reports say he might go as early as next week after he gets sworn in.

His team is still figuring out if the trip would mess with firefighting efforts. Trump has been pretty vocal about the situation, blaming California’s Governor Newsom for not having enough resources to tackle the fires quickly.

He even posted on Truth Social, saying the fires are still raging and criticizing local leaders for their response. Newsom has invited Trump to see the damage for himself, hoping for some cooperation between state and federal efforts.

This trip could give Trump a chance to see the destruction and maybe push for more federal help for those who lost their homes. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is already in touch with local officials and has sent federal firefighters to assist.

Biden mentioned that his team is focused on helping survivors and is using all available resources to fight the fires. He was in LA when the fires broke out but hasn’t personally surveyed the damage yet. The Trump team hasn’t commented on the situation.
