When things go wrong and you’re a liberal, your first instinct is to find a Republican, any Republican (but usually Donald Trump), and blame them: It’s your fault that I hate you.
That’s exactly what some liberals appear to be doing in the wake of Los Angeles’ devastating wildfires. Sam Stein, editor-in-chief of Bulwark, appeared to criticize President Trump, claiming that the president had “publicly threatened to cut off wildfire aid to states.” (Related: Incredibly crazy video of two men with dog trapped in house surrounded by flames is complete nightmare fuel)

California is again under the threat of severe wildfires.
Thousands of acres burned and hundreds of homes destroyed.

“The rapid devastation of the #PalisadesFire is horrifying, and we realize that President Trump, who is set to take office in 13 days, has publicly threatened to cut wildfire aid to states,” Stein said. . I wrote.
President Trump has only threatened to put the brakes on FEMA funding if California officials continue to act grossly incompetent on fire protection.
“‘Billions of dollars are being sent to California for wildfires that would never happen if there was proper forest management. Unless they get their act together…I urge FEMA not to send any more money. ,” President Trump previously said. said …in 2019!

playing cards made a similar statement He plans to participate in the 2024 election campaign, but that is completely beside the point. Rather than engage with inconvenient facts, liberals like Stein prefer to dwell on President Trump’s past — and Trump says a lot and makes many threats that never materialize. . That is, Trump warned about California’s wildfire management mismanagement and lack of preparedness, including the president’s Oct. 25 remarks. exterior On Joe Rogan’s podcast.

They also cited the fact that Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who was in Ghana when the fires hit the city, cut the fire department’s budget by nearly $20 million in 2023, and the fact that the city’s fire chief, Christine Bass, Crowley has prioritized DEI and focused on hiring more women.
