1. Not from what I've heard

But those areas of Shasta and Lassen went big for him in2016. These are his people. White, uneducated and watch Fox. It is the most backward areas of California outside of Bakersfield and Fresno areas.

2. No. Entire towns are on fire. He's a vile piece of shit.

[essme]

3. I don't think so

that would indicate that he cared about people.

[Achilleaze]

4. Not a peep. Dirty Donny*s busy golfing

squandering another $3 million or so of our hard-earned tax dollars on his over-indulgent luxurious gourmet golden golf goof offs. He can't be bothered to deal with a real problem - a huge problem. He and his republican buddies have their noses in the air, pissing in the general direction of California.

6. President Donald J. Trump Approves California Emergency Declaration

Today, President Donald J. Trump declared that an emergency exists in the State of California and ordered Federal assistance to supplement State, tribal, and local response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from a wildfire beginning on July 23, 2018, and continuing.

The President’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in Shasta County.
