Another Wildfire Has Hit California and Newsom’s Plan Is to Attack Trump

(Townhall)—Earlier this year, wildfires hit Los Angeles. It was a tragic story of blue state incompetence, with much of the coverage also involving how Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and President Donald Trump certainly went at it against each other. Trump had not yet taken office for his second term. Another wildfire has hit, the Madre Fire, which has hit the central part of California. Sure enough, Newsom is making it his mission to go after Trump.

Newsom has posted and reposted several times from his official account about the fire, with one of those posts serving as his pinned post. It’s worth nothing that the first post, from his press office, does note that California “remains in lockstep with our federal partners.”

UPDATE — The #MadreFire, which started and exploded on federal lands, is now mapped at more than 70,000 acres and containment is up to 10%.

Newsom’s posts otherwise don’t go for that tone about partnership, though. One post in particular even takes the time to go after Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which passed both chambers of Congress earlier this week and Trump signed into law on Friday.

“Trump needs to WAKE UP and start funding federal firefighters and land-management teams in these rural communities – instead of giving tax cuts to billionaires,” the governor’s pinned post reads, going for a tiring narrative we’re used to hearing from Democrats about the bill. “Trump’s incompetence is endangering lives,” the post even claimed.
