Trump Continues To Politicise Wildfire Disaster With Blast At 'Incompetent' Officials

Donald Trump lashed out at “incompetent” politicians on the ground in California who are dealing with massive, deadly wildfires, even as the president-elect has yet to take up an invitation to survey the damage himself.

As of Monday, the disaster has killed at least 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes, with another round of extreme wind expected to bring more destruction.

Trump has so far not publicly responded to Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom urging the incoming president to tour the devastation.
