President Trump was greeted by California Gov. Gavin Newsom with a firm handshake as he stepped off Air Force One in Los Angeles on Friday. This friendly gesture came after Trump criticized Newsom’s management of the crisis.

“I appreciate the governor coming out and meeting me,” Trump told reporters on the tarmac. “We want to get it fixed.”

“You got hit by a bomb,” Trump said — likening the scenes of wildfires to the devastation of World War II.

“Most importantly, thank you for being here,” Newsom told Trump. “We’re going to need your support. We’re going to need your help.”

“You were there for us during COVID”

Earlier that day, Trump implied that federal assistance for rebuilding would be reliant on state lawmakers mandating voter identification. Newsom did not openly respond to this statement in the presence of the media.
