Trump brings first presidential visits to states affected by disasters he tried to politize

President Donald Trump traveled to North Carolina on Friday and is on his way to California to make his first presidential visits to states that have been destroyed by disasters he tried to politicize.

On the first stage of his journey, Trump flew to Asheville, North Carolina, to Tour sites struck by Hurricane Helene in September. At the time, Trump spread unfounded conspiracy theories about auxiliary efforts and claimed (among other things) that the federal emergency management agency helps to kill the hurricane victims to immigrants without papers.

On Friday he again criticized FEMA and said that he is planning to sign an executive order to reform the agency, but also the possibility of ‘losing FEMA’. Trump suggested that states should deal with recovery efforts of such disasters instead of trusting the federal agency, of which he said it “just didn’t do.”

Trump is planned to arrive later on Friday in California, where huge forest fires spread over the Los Angeles area. It is unclear whether he destroyed the neighborhoods that were destroyed by the Blazes alongside California Gov. Gavin Newsom will visit, with whom he has publicly played about the fires.

Trump wrongly claimed that the efforts of the state to protect animals in the wild has impeded water access in South California, and he blamed the fires of the incompetence of democratic legislators. In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Trump suggested to keep federal help to California.

“I don’t think we should give California something until they drop the water,” he said.

Trump spoke with reporters in North Carolina on Friday, again proposed to set the conditions for the help of California, a state -democratic majority.

“I have a condition. In California we want them to have a voter -ID, so people have a voice, because at the moment people don’t have a voice because you don’t know who votes, and it’s very corrupt, “he said.” If they were to water Let me tell them – because I told them to do it seven years ago – if they had done it, you wouldn’t have had the problem. “
