Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1190995034163892226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gavin Newsom, with the smugness and gall of someone truly drunk on status, decided to respond.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You don\u2019t believe in climate change.

He is trying to score brownie points with the blue checkmarks on Twitter while people are losing their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of the hatred between Trump and Newsom, the governor should at least realize that Trump would be an unbelievable asset in containing the fires. With the power he holds, and more importantly, the federal money he can give to California, it would make extinguishing the fires much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, however, that would simply be too reasonable. Newsom would much rather take a shot at Trump over climate change instead of potentially saving the lives of his citizens. Virtue signaling is far easier than solving the problem ever could be.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> At least when Newsom is addressed by a family whose loved one is now a charred corpse, he can tell them it was all worth it because he got a mean zinger in on Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jdlasica\/9730642920\/in\/photolist-fPS68w-yvHc2A-KhWhwr-2469a4v-fPxh7V-28Sx8hf-LPeUPq-KhWhGM-2eFibP3-dn5Krs-9Dqfky-29Cm4hc-29Vbd4C-29Vbe2Q-29Cm6qv-2fRFH4B-62a53y-6xzqg7-LPeV2u-646RLZ-NT3Hkq-29Vb8V7-6BzHnc-KhWi6c-KhWiQi-51azgY-629X81-5r42m-5qDRj-92kAeo-4HDX6H-7X8hQA-dDxzLo-5oBJnR-5oG5Ff-5oBLtk-5oBEYg-5oBMUM-7ER1g-7LEVMk-7LEVXB-7LEVJe-28Sxef7-26bVLtj-28SxfX5-28Sxdjj-28Sxfgf-28SxfAo-26bVJx5-26bVJFG\">Photo by JD Lasica via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Nicholas Vetrisek There has been much back-and-forth between Governor Gavin Newsom and\u00a0 President Trump following the disastrous wildfires.
