Trump's track record of disaster misinformation as he casts blame over California wildfires

^{Published on 2025-01-13 08:20:39 - ABC}

As wildfires ravage southern California, President-elect Donald Trump has attacked Democratic officials, continuing a pattern of spreading misinformation amid disasters.

The article from ABC News discusses former President Donald Trump's tendency to blame California for various national issues, particularly focusing on his recent comments regarding the state's handling of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. Trump has a history of criticizing California, often attributing problems like homelessness, wildfires, and now banking failures to the state's governance by Democrats. Despite these criticisms, the article points out that the issues Trump highlights are complex and not solely the result of state policies. For instance, the Silicon Valley Bank's failure was influenced by broader economic factors and regulatory decisions made at the federal level, not just state mismanagement. The piece also notes Trump's own track record with misinformation and his tendency to deflect blame, suggesting that his criticisms might be more about political posturing than addressing the root causes of these problems.
