T***p plans visit to visit fire zone. Pushes to withhold aid.

(SNIP)
President Donald Trump will tour damage on Friday caused by wildfires in Los Angeles on Friday as he continues to feud with California Gov. Gavin Newsom over his handling of the disaster and federal aid.

Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Wednesday that he was going to Los Angeles after stopping in North Carolina, which was hit by Hurricane Helene in September.

that he's going to hold back aid until they bend to his will? Not a very smart move.

Michael Cohen said that Trump wants one thing, to be the richest person in the world.

Trump wants to know how much it will cost to give federal aid and then figure out a way to transfer that "saved" money to his pocket.

he'll actually step out of the plane in NC? Jeebus on a tricycle it's cold out there. More like he'll fly over and give them the finger then sleep thru the California part of the trip.

voter I.D. and to release the water. What is it with "release the water" anyway? I got the impression he's talking about salt water which would pretty much destroy crops and drinking water supplies and pipes in municipal systems. The man is batshit crazy and it's getting worse by the minute.
