Fact check: As wildfires rage, Trump lashes out with false claims about FEMA and California water policy

Another natural disaster, another series of false claims from President-elect Donald Trump. For years, Trump has littered his statements on California wildfires and other disasters with inaccurate assertions.
The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's recent comments on wildfires in California, where he made several false claims. Trump criticized California's water policies, suggesting that the state's decision to let water flow into the Pacific Ocean instead of using it to fight fires was misguided. However, this claim is misleading as California's water management involves complex issues including environmental regulations, water rights, and infrastructure limitations, not simply a choice to waste water. Additionally, Trump falsely claimed that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) was not allowed to send water tankers to California, which is incorrect; FEMA does not typically manage water tankers for firefighting, and there's no evidence of such a restriction. The article also notes that while Trump has often criticized California's forest management, experts argue that the state's wildfires are exacerbated by climate change, not just forest management practices. The piece concludes by debunking these claims, highlighting the inaccuracies in Trump's statements and providing context on the actual challenges faced in managing wildfires and water resources in California.
