A Los Angeles County supervisor has written a letter to President-elect Donald Trump, inviting him to visit the areas damaged by the recent wildfires in the state. This invitation comes despite Trump’s criticism of California’s Democratic leadership, particularly Governor Gavin Newsom, whom he has blamed for the fires.
Trump has been vocal about his disapproval of the state’s handling of the wildfires, taking to social media to express his thoughts. In a recent post, he stated that one of the most beautiful parts of the country is burning down to the ground and that Governor Newsom should resign.
The LA County supervisor’s letter is seen as an attempt to extend an olive branch to the president-elect, despite their differences. The supervisor hopes that Trump’s visit will help to bring attention to the devastating impact of the wildfires and the need for federal support.
The wildfires have caused widespread destruction and displacement, with thousands of people forced to evacuate their homes. The state has declared a state of emergency, and firefighters are working tirelessly to contain the blaze.
Despite the challenges, the LA County supervisor remains hopeful that Trump’s visit will help to bring about a positive outcome. The supervisor believes that the president-elect’s presence will help to raise awareness about the issue and bring much-needed support to the affected communities.
The invitation has sparked a mixed reaction, with some praising the supervisor’s efforts to reach out to the president-elect, while others have criticized the move as a publicity stunt. Regardless, the LA County supervisor’s letter has brought attention to the devastating impact of the wildfires and the need for federal support.
