During his inaugural address, President Trump criticized the government for failing to protect citizens during crises, citing the devastating fires in Southern California and Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.
Trump stated, "We can't let this happen. Everyone is unable to do anything about it. That's going to change," emphasizing a commitment to address the mishandling of crises.
He remarked on the sheer scale of the destruction, noting that the combined fires have burned nearly 38,000 acres and claimed at least 27 lives, highlighting the government's inadequacies.
In response, California's Gov. Newsom's team highlighted Trump's lack of acknowledgment for firefighters battling the blazes, showcasing the disconnect between federal and state leadership during the crisis.
