Trump reignites wildfire management feud with Newsom

President-elect Donald Trump has reignited a longstanding feud with California Governor Gavin Newsom over wildfire management, criticizing the governor in a post on Truth Social. Trump claimed that the ongoing fires in Southern California are due to poor management, a point of contention between the two leaders dating back to 2018.

In his Wednesday morning post, Trump accused Newsom of rejecting a water resource declaration that would have directed millions of gallons southward to combat the fires. However, the governor’s office refuted this claim in a tweet, stating, "No such document ever existed," and called Trump’s assertion "pure fiction." As of Wednesday afternoon, Trump and his team have not provided any proof this document exists.
