Almost a year after the wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes in southern California, failed Governor Gavin Newsom is trying to blame President Trump for the lack of rebuilding. It takes a special level of shamelessness to do this.
Look at this tweet from his official account:
Donald Trump promised almost a year ago that he’d “take care” of rebuilding after the Los Angeles firestorms, but survivors are still waiting for him to officially ask Congress for relief.

Newsom should be heckled off of the national stage for this. Instead, some media outlets are actually taking it seriously.
From Politico:
Newsom accuses Trump of wildfire aid snub
Gavin Newsom accused the Trump administration of rebuffing a meeting request as the California governor seeks more wildfire recovery aid in Washington, casting the refusal to make a staffer available as an unprecedented breach.
The Democratic governor’s staff said the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Federal Resources Management Agency, told them FEMA’s acting director was unavailable and did not offer another official to meet with as Newsom presses Congress for $33.9 billion. The Newsom administration framed that freezeout as part of a larger abandonment of the Los Angeles area, arguing the White House has broken with precedent by not sending a funding proposal to Congress.
“The Trump Administration refused a routine wildfire recovery meeting — a rejection we’ve never seen before — even as LA families near a year without long-term federal financial help,” Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon said in a statement. “The message to survivors is unmistakable: Donald Trump doesn’t care about them.”
To be clear, there has been no rebuilding in Los Angeles in a year. A YEAR.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass recently tried to take credit for the rebuild of a single house, but of course it turned out that it was all a lie.
Average Twitter/X users have more common sense than the entire media and pushed back on Newsom:
Where did the $2.5 billion go?
5,000 homes x $500,000 = $2.5 billion… instead 5,000 families got nothing and still don’t have the permits to rebuild….. https://t.co/pVu5idHjfo

YOU are the governor of the state. How many houses in the Palisades have been rebuilt with permits after the fire?
Z E R O. Stop posing and do YOUR job. https://t.co/gmXRSPOH0O— Bo Snerdley (@BoSnerdley) December 5, 2025
This is the Democrat front-runner for 2028? Does anyone think the public is going to buy any of this BS?
Trump’s White House ballroom will be finished before a single home is rebuilt in Los Angeles.
