President Trump was in California Friday to inspect the damage from the fires, and he didn’t hold back in slamming public officials, including the woke Mayor of Los Angeles over basic failures and subsequent bureaucratic nonsense.
During a press conference, Trump blasted Karen Bass, asserting that residents who have lost their homes in Pacific Palisades should not have to wait for government permits and assistance to clean up their lots and start again.
When residents complained that they have been prevented from getting started cleaning up, Bass said “The number one thing that we are going to do immediately, and you will see this happen, is to clear out the debris…we are going to move as fast as we can. But we want you to be safe. We want you to be back in your homes immediately.”
Trump interjected, “But the people are willing to clean out their own debris. It doesn’t cost a lot,” adding “You should let them do it. Because by the time you hire contractors, it’s going to be two years.”
“People are willing to get a dumpster and do it themselves and clean it out,” Trump continued, urging “There’s not that much left. It’s all incinerated, and you know, it’s just going to take a long time if you do [it].”
Trump further emphasised that people don’t “want to wait around for seven months till the city hires some demolition contract that’s going to charge $25,000.”
