Recently, California in the United States is facing rampant wildfires, with the flames rapidly spreading due to the strong seasonal winds known as the 'Santa Ana winds.' The areas most severely affected by the wildfires are mainly concentrated in Los Angeles County, where six large-scale fires have been reported.
As of now, this wildfire has resulted in at least 5 deaths, over 2,000 buildings destroyed, and forced more than 130,000 people to evacuate urgently.
Trump: This wildfire is due to the incompetent governor trying to save fish.
Regarding the Los Angeles wildfires, the soon-to-be U.S. President Trump also posted on the social platform Truth Social, criticizing California Governor Gavin Newsom as the culprit behind the entire fire, stating that Newsom allowed Los Angeles to fall into a wildfire crisis to protect a group of 'worthless fish':
California Governor Gavin Newsom refused to sign a water resource restoration declaration, which could have allowed excess rainwater and melting snow from the north to flow into many areas of California, including those currently burning like the apocalypse.
He chose to protect a fish species of almost no value—the smelt—giving them more water (but to no effect!) while disregarding the people of California. Now, California is paying the ultimate price. I will demand this incompetent governor to let beautiful, clean, fresh water flow into California! He is the culprit behind all this.
Moreover, there is no water supply for fire hydrants and no water for firefighting aircraft. This is a true disaster!
At the same time, Trump also stated in a follow-up article that this is a symbol of the Biden administration's mismanagement and hopes that January 20 will come quickly.
This incident should serve as a symbol of the severe incompetence and mismanagement of the Biden-Newsom duo. January 20 (inauguration day) cannot come soon enough!
However, according to CNN reports, Newsom stated in an interview that he is currently unable to respond to Trump's attacks because the situation in Los Angeles is extremely serious, while Trump is focused on 'politicizing' everything.
Reports indicate that multiple factors are involved in the Los Angeles wildfire crisis, but Trump oversimplifies the complexity of the whole incident by pointing out that 'the California governor refused to sign a water resource restoration declaration.'
