Scott Gurvey's Public Offerings

This is what our once and future president wrote this morning about the tragic fires in the Los Angeles area which have, as of this writing, taken two lives, forced tens of thousands out of their homes, and caused millions of dollars’ worth of property damage.

How can anyone be such a monster? And how could we have elected him once again?

Newsom‘s office has dismissed these claims as “pure fiction” and accused Trump of playing politics. The governor has focused on ensuring that firefighters have the resources they need to combat the fires.

Trump‘s insensitive and absurd lies were seconded by his co-president in waiting, Elon Musk, who blames California regulations for the fires. Trump also blamed President Joe Biden today for the fires.

Trump threatens to withhold disaster relief to California’s fire victims unless the state enacts water legislation Trump favors. “We’re going to take care of your water situation, and we’ll force it down his throat. And we’ll say, Gavin, if you don’t do it, we’re not giving you any of that fire money that we send you all the time for all the fire, forest fires,” Trump said at an Oct. 12, event in Coachella, Calif.

Trump tallied only 38% of the vote in California. Kamala Harris won 59% and the state’s 54 Electoral College votes. That’s why Trump hates the people of California. They’re too smart for him.
