During a rally in Coachella, Donald Trump suggested that a heckler might face violence at home after being removed from the event.
Trump criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom, derogatorily referring to him as 'Newscum,' and threatened to withhold wildfire aid unless his unspecified water solutions are implemented.
Governor Newsom responded on social media, condemning Trump's remarks as a threat to life-saving aid for political leverage.
Trump's comments follow a pattern of past threats to block federal aid to California, citing the state's Democratic voting record.
Environmental experts highlight that California's water and wildfire challenges are exacerbated by climate change, contradicting Trump's claims of simple solutions.
