A key part of Donald Trump's speech from California on Friday was trashing Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom for the state's fires. One comment he made is turning heads, however.
“And Gavin Newscum is gonna sign those papers, and if he doesn’t sign those papers, we won’t give him money to put all his fires,” Trump said, deliberately mispronouncing the governor's name, as he's often done in the past.
“And if we don’t give him money to put out his fires, he’s got problems,” Trump threatened. “He’s a lousy governor.”

“So California, vote for Trump, and you’re going to have water and you’re going to have growth and you’re going to have prosperity and all those people that are leaving are going to really come back,” Trump said.
In the past, Trump alleged exploding trees was the problem.
Newsome sounded the alarm in an X post: "
just admitted he will block emergency disaster funds to settle political vendettas. Today it’s California’s wildfires. Tomorrow it could be hurricane funding for North Carolina or flooding assistance for homeowners in Pennsylvania. Donald Trump doesn’t care about America — he only cares about himself."
Trump made similar threats in 2019.
