   (The Center Square) - California Gov. Gavin Newsom is visiting President   
   Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. to seek wildfire relief funding just   
   after the state legislature passed bills to fund lawsuits against the   
   Trump administration and deportation defense of illegal immigrants in a   
   Newsom-called “Trump-proofing” special session.   
      
   Trump has said he supports placing conditions on California wildfire aid,   
   including the adoption of voter identification laws and better water   
   management, and announced that he is seeking a federal investigation into   
   the state’s high speed rail program.   
      
   “I want to see two things in Los Angeles. Voter ID, so that the people   
   have a chance to vote, and I want to see the water be released and come   
   down into Los Angeles and throughout the state,” said Trump while visiting   
   North Carolina communities devastated by Hurricane Helene on his way to   
   Southern California.   
      
   In response to the coastal Southern California city of Huntington Beach   
   adopting a voter ID requirement for local elections, the California   
   legislature passed a ban on voter ID. While courts upheld Huntington   
   Beach’s law before the new state law took effect, the state has appealed   
   the ruling under the new law.   
      
   Speaking at the White House from the Oval Office, Trump also called for an   
   investigation into the state’s high speed rail program, which is now   
   estimated to cost over $100 billion to complete and was noted as being   
   significantly behind schedule in a new state report.   
      
   “The train that’s being built between Los Angeles and San Francisco is the   
   worst-managed project I think I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some of the   
   worst,” said Trump. “It’s impossible that something could cost that much.”   
      
   Newsom signed a $2.5 billion aid package for the Los Angeles area fires,   
   which are estimated to have caused hundreds of billions of dollars in   
   damage, making the fires the costliest natural disaster in American   
   history. Further federal aid could assist with accelerating the removal of   
   debris and rebuilding in the communities ravaged by the wildfires.   
      
   “This morning, I met with both Democratic and Republican members of   
   Congress to secure expedited disaster aid to recover and rebuild from the   
   Los Angeles firestorms,” said Newsom in a statement. “Our nation is better   
   off when we hold together and support our fellow Americans in times of   
   crisis.   
      
   Before Newsom’s trip, the California Assembly passed $50 million in   
   funding during a Newsom-called “Trump-proofing” special session for   
   lawsuits against the Trump administration and legal aid that largely could   
   go to deportation defense for illegal immigrants, highlighting the tense   
   relationship between the governor and the president.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and   
   eradicated.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
