oct 16 2020 President Donald Trump abruptly changed course Friday on denying California federal aid for wildfires that have scorched the state, a decision that came hours after Governor Gavin Newsom vowed to appeal an initial denial.

The state had planned to appeal a denial from the administration and believed it had a strong case. Earlier in the day, Newsom responded on Twitter to a New York Times report on the administration's "rare refusal" with a promise to appeal.

Friday's exchange is just the latest example of ongoing finger-pointing between California and the Trump administration over wildfires.

Newsom says the increasing intensity and frequency of the wildfires are evidence of global warming, but Trump has sought to blame forest management.

This year's wildfires have burned more than 4 million acres — more than double the previous record.

“If that’s not proof point, testament, to climate change, then I don’t know what is,” Newsom previously said.

The whiplash over the federal emergency funds — which Trump has previously threatened to withhold but never has — came during the final weeks of a presidential campaign during which the president has often held California up as a prime example of liberal irresponsibility.

Trump lost the nation’s most-populous state — where Republican voter registration has dropped below the number of those who have not declared a party — by 30 percentage points in the 2016 election.

Dumb thread starter seems to think when national disasters happen, only red states should get Federal Aid.

Hey Opie Dopey- If Donald Trump thought he could get by in doing that, he would! But no, that would be against the law for a president to do that.

But apparently even "DUMB DONALD TRUMP" (using OPie Dopie's words) is actually smarter than OPie DOPEY!

Stupid trump hopes this Hail Mary pass will win him the election. I hope people see through such an obvious reversal; not brainless trump supporters but normal people.

Lol. For sure. I believe there are some republican counties in the wildfire areas though.

Trump will lose CA but only because biden will get 5 million votes from illegals. Lots of conservatives in CA.

Colorado has a huge wildfire problem too. Another sanctuary state of course. Blue states spend all their money on illegals and have nothing left for fire mitigation.

Trump* is still going to lose California

LOL. It’s a state of 40 million people so yes, technically there are lots of conservatives here. But as a percentage of the state we are not.
