Trump Slams Newsom and LA Mayor Bass Over Fire Victims Rebuilding, FIFA World Cup, Homelessness Spending, and DeSantis Debate

President Donald Trump has publicly criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for their handling of various state and city issues. Trump described Newsom as "an incompetent guy with a good line of bullsh*t" who "doesn't get the job done," and labeled Mayor Bass as incompetent as well. He specifically condemned their response to the rebuilding efforts for fire victims in Los Angeles, stating that the city is "horribly run" and that permits for those who lost their homes have been delayed. Trump also referenced the upcoming FIFA World Cup preparations in Los Angeles, implying mismanagement by local leadership. Meanwhile, Governor Newsom has expressed frustration as a taxpayer over billions of dollars being ineffectively spent on homelessness in California. Additionally, there are reports of Newsom employing a large team and PR firm to manage his social media presence. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has agreed to a debate rematch with Newsom but predicted that Newsom would not participate, suggesting he has settled into trolling Trump. Trump has also urged Newsom to fully restore water services amid ongoing issues.
