Trump Threatens to Withhold California Wildfire Aid Over Water Policy

Former President Trump demands changes to protect farmers, criticizing Governor Newsom's environmental regulations.

  • Trump made the threat during a press conference at his Los Angeles golf club, criticizing California's water management policies.
  • He specifically targeted regulations that limit water pumping from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to protect the endangered smelt fish.
  • Trump promised to provide California with abundant water, allowing farmers to fully utilize their land if he is re-elected.
  • He derogatorily referred to Governor Gavin Newsom as 'Newscum' and insisted that Newsom must sign off on policy changes.
  • Trump's comments come as part of a broader critique of California's leadership, including Vice President Kamala Harris.
