What Trump can (and can't) do to disrupt Los Angeles wildfire aid

What Trump can (and can't) do to disrupt Los Angeles wildfire aid

  • During the heat of the presidential campaign in September, then-candidate Donald Trump made an extraordinary threat. He vowed that if California suffered a wildfire during his presidency, he'd withhold disaster aid from the state unless Governor Gavin Newsom signed a document that delivered more water to farmers in the state's agriculture-rich

The article from MSN discusses the potential impact of former President Donald Trump's actions on federal aid for the Los Angeles wildfires, especially in light of his previous comments and actions regarding California's wildfire management. Trump has historically criticized California's forest management practices, suggesting that the state should be more proactive in preventing fires. Although he is no longer in office, Trump could still influence public opinion and possibly affect policy through his significant social media presence and political influence. However, the article clarifies that Trump's ability to directly disrupt or alter federal aid is limited since he does not hold an official position. Federal aid for disasters like wildfires is typically managed by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) under the Department of Homeland Security, and decisions are made based on established protocols and assessments of need, not on the whims of former presidents. The piece also mentions that current political leaders and agencies are likely to continue providing necessary support to Los Angeles, regardless of Trump's statements, focusing on the welfare of the affected communities.
