Trump blames 'incompetent' Gavin Newsom for devastating Los Angeles wildfires

Thousands of acres are currently burning in and around Los Angeles due to multiple wildfires that began burning on Tuesday. President-elect Donald Trump placed the blame for these fires on California Governor Gavin Newsom for previously refusing to sign a declaration that would allow more water to flow into areas being currently hit with fires.

"Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way," Trump wrote.
