President Donald Trump used remarks on 22 August to sharply criticise California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, repeatedly calling both officials "incompetent." Trump said he "knows Gavin very well" and claimed the governor "doesn't get the job done," while describing Los Angeles as "horribly run." The president accused state and city authorities of blocking wildfire victims from rebuilding their homes, asserting that federal crews had cleared debris within 30 days but that California had yet to issue the necessary permits. He also questioned Los Angeles' readiness to host matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, citing the city’s alleged permitting delays and broader management problems.
TRUMP: People want to rebuild, but @MayorOfLA and @GavinNewsom are incompetent. Gavin’s got a good line of bullshit but doesn’t get it done. Feds cleared the hardest part in 30 days. State still won’t give permits. Now they want to drop low income housing in the Palisades. https://t.co/bACxi4zX5V
