Trump said, “We are watching fires still tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense" in Los Angeles — a remark that drew pushback from some California leaders.

He declared California Gov. Gavin Newsom “incompetent” and blamed the mammoth fires on the state’s water policies.

President-elect Donald Trump said he will “probably” visit Los Angeles next week to view the aftermath of the devastating wildfires. Trump told NBC News ‘ Kristen Welker on Saturday that he plans to visit after his inauguration on Monday, saying, “I will be, probably, at the end of the week.”

President Donald Trump’s first trip since returning to the White House will take him to Asheville, North Carolina and the Los Angeles area in California, communities where he has loudly criticized the federal response to recent natural disasters.

President Donald Trump criticized California officials over their response to the recent Los Angeles wildfires, while members of Congress are fighting over whether federal wildfire aid will have strings attached.

Some donned red, white, and blue and celebrated the 47th president. Others filled the streets in protest of another Trump presidency.

President Donald Trump’s first week in office will include a visit to wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles. “I’m going to go out there on Friday to see it and to get it moving back,” Trump said at a rally ahead of Monday’s inauguration.

President Donald Trump may visit California this week as state Attorney General Rob Bonta begins filing expected lawsuits against the president's new executive orders.
