In recent days, the state of California in the United States is facing raging wildfires, with the flames rapidly spreading under the influence of the strong Santa Ana winds. The hardest-hit areas are mainly concentrated in Los Angeles County, California, with 6 large-scale fires reported.
So far, this fire has resulted in at least 5 deaths, the destruction of more than 2,000 buildings, and the forced evacuation of over 130,000 people.
Trump: This fire disaster is caused by the incompetent governor to save fish
Regarding the Los Angeles wildfires, the incoming US President Trump also posted on the social media platform Truth Social criticizing California Governor Gavin Newsom as the culprit behind the entire fire, stating that Newsom, in order to protect a group of "worthless fish," has plunged Los Angeles into a fire crisis:
California Governor Gavin Newsom refused to sign a water resource restoration declaration, which could have allowed excess rainwater and snowmelt from the north to flow into many areas of California, including the currently apocalyptic-burning regions.
Instead, he chose to protect a virtually worthless fish species - the smelt, giving them more water (but to no effect!), while not caring about the people of California. Now, California is paying the ultimate price. I will demand that this incompetent governor let beautiful, clean, fresh water flow into California! He is the root cause of all this.
In addition, there is no water supply for fire hydrants, nor can it be supplied for use by firefighting aircraft. This is a true disaster!
Meanwhile, Trump also stated in a subsequent post that this is a symbol of the Biden administration's poor management, and he hopes January 20th (Inauguration Day) will come soon:
This should serve as a symbol of the serious incompetence and mismanagement of Biden and Newsom. Hurry up January 20th (Inauguration Day)!
However, according to a CNN report, Newsom stated in an interview that he is currently unable to respond to Trump's attacks because the situation in Los Angeles is very serious, and Trump is only concerned with "politicizing" the entire event.
The report points out that the Los Angeles wildfire crisis involves multiple factors, but Trump's sole focus on "the California governor's refusal to sign a water resource restoration declaration" is clearly an oversimplification of the complexity of the entire incident.
