Boom.

California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom thanked President Donald Trump on Thursday for securing a FEMA grant for Newsom's state as multiple wildfires continued to rage.

It wasn't long, however, until the bad blood between the two reignited, thanks to Donald Trump's Twitter feed. Again falsely claiming that California's wildfires were due to a lack of maintenance, Trump threatened to revoke federal aid from California in an unhinged Twitter thread.


But Governor Newsom wasted no time in clapping back at Trump—using his spotty record on climate change to do so.

In recent years, Trump repeatedly dismissed climate change as a hoax invented by the Chinese. He acknowledged the existence of climate change ahead of his campaign for the 2016 presidential election.

Routinely, Trump blames even non-forest fires in California on a lack of comprehensive forest management, neglecting that a majority of forests in California are managed at the federal level.

Newsom wasn't the only one to call out the President's rant against California.

Numerous scientists have acknowledged climate change as a factor in the growing number of deadly wildfires in the state, yet Trump has repeatedly worked to roll back pollution and other environmental regulations in the state.

“We’re waging war against the most destructive fires in our state’s history, and Trump is conducting a full-on assault against the antidote," Newsom said of the President's efforts.

Trump Was Asked If He'll 'Pull' Mark Robinson Endorsement After Scandal—And His Response Is Peak Trump

Former President Donald Trump was criticized for playing dumb when asked if he'll "pull" his endorsement of North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson in the wake of revelations about Robinson's racial and sexual comments.

Robinson—who polls show trails behind Democratic nominee Josh Stein, the current Attorney General—pledged last week to stay in the governor's race despite a CNN report alleging he made explicit racial and sexual comments on an online message board, stating he won’t be pushed out by "salacious tabloid lies."

Texas Democrat Lays Out How Trump & Vance Would React If They 'Met Jesus Today'—And Yep, That Tracks

Texas State Democratic Representative James Talarico laid out in a powerful speech how former President Donald Trump, his running mate J.D. Vance, and Christian nationalists are the antithesis of Jesus Christ—and pointed out how they'd likely react if they were to meet him today.

Despite his adultery, dishonesty, criminal behavior, and other personal shortcomings, Trump claims to be a Christian and has actively sought the support of the evangelical community. He has delivered on his pledges to appoint conservative Christian judges to senior positions, a move that has been instrumental in restricting women’s reproductive rights and solidifying his base.
