In the wake of devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, President-elect Trump deflected blame from natural causes and instead targeted political rival Gavin Newsom, demonstrating his unwavering strategy of politicizing disasters.
The Los Angeles fires, which have claimed 11 lives and burned more than 36,000 acres, presented a grim backdrop for political unity that was absent as Trump focused on attacking his opponents rather than offering support.
Carmen Yulin Cruz reflected on Trump's behavior, noting that he has not changed since his previous confrontations, emphasizing his tendency to utilize crises as opportunities to undermine political foes instead of fostering a sense of cooperation.
Trump's adeptness at exploiting public unease is highlighted during crises such as these, as he taps into the widespread anxiety in Los Angeles rather than seeking to calmly address the challenges at hand.
