From United Press International
Jan. 9 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he ordered the Federal Emergency Management Agency to cut off relief money for California as the state recovers from the deadliest wildfires in its history.
"Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forest fires that, with proper Forest Management, would never happen," Trump tweeted Wednesday. "Unless they get their act together, which is unlikely, I have ordered FEMA to send no more money. It is a disgraceful situation in lives & money."
An estimated 86 people died in the Camp Fire in Butte County north of San Francisco. The fire burned 153,000 acres in November, destroying 14,000 homes, 528 commercial buildings and 4,300 other structures. That includes the entire town of Paradise.
Trump's announcement comes three days after California Gov. Gavin Newsom was sworn in and, with one of his first acts, signed new legislation that modernizes the way the state responds and prepares for natural disasters.
COMMENT:-
Obviously California doesn't need any money to help with the destruction caused by fires because the fires are out and the damage has already been done so there is no "emergency" to "manage" and that would mean that it would be illegal to re-purpose funds that Congress has said should be used to "manage emergencies" to "helping those left-wing, liberal, pinko, socialist, commies who wouldn't vote Republican whatever you paid them to do the way that the so-called 'Democrats' pay them to 'Vote Democrat'".
Right?
Or is Mr. Trump just being petty and childish?
