The wildfires in Los Angeles, which have caused approximately 37,000 residents to evacuate their homes, continue with no end in sight. As authorities try to get the blazing flames under control, President-elect Donald Trump is turning to California's environmental protection policies as the main culprits for the fire, particularly pointing his finger to Gov. Gavin Newsom as the person to blame.
The President-elect, who is set to officially return to the White House on Jan. 20, took to his social media platform Truth Social to lay the blame for the wildfires—which have killed at least two people and reduced over 1,000 buildings to ash— on Newsom's Democratic administration.
