As of this moment, Gavin Newscum and his Los Angeles crew have contained exactly ZERO percent of the fire. It is burning at levels that even surpass last night. This is not Government. I can’t wait till January 20th!" Trump first posted.
A few moments later, he raged: "NO WATER IN THE FIRE HYDRANTS, NO MONEY IN FEMA. THIS IS WHAT JOE BIDEN IS LEAVING ME. THANKS JOE!"
And:
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 posted on his social media website.
Trump has proposed turning on a massive "faucet" to divert water in the drought-stricken state, but experts say there's just not enough for farmers and major cities to meet their needs, and environmentalists have fought against diversions from the Sacramento River and its tributaries to ensure the survival of wildlife in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
"He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!)," Trump posted, "but didn’t care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid. I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this. On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!"
Courtiers to the King:
Roberts: Trump back in 2020 was very critical of California for not making sure the forest floors were clean to stop the fires from spreading so rapidly. Why does this keep happening?

The reason there is "no water" available in fire hydrants in LA is because the water lines have been broken or burned by the fire, so there is no water pressure, in addition to low water pressure due to 8 months of drought. Resist politicized accusations and conspiracy theories.
