The President of the United States (POTUS) Donald Trump on Sunday has threatened to withhold federal aid from California after California's Democratic Governor criticised Trump over his environmental policies. The wildfires which spread in Northern California's wine country forced nearly 2,000 natives to flee their homes, 20,000 without electricity, along with evacuation of nearly 40,000 residents. The blazes which consumed about 100,000 acres and destroyed an unknown number of structures had begun near the base of a high-voltage transmission tower and was damaged.
In a series of tweets, POTUS Trump blamed Governor Gavin Newsom
Newsom hit back at Trump in simply 12 words
Member of the United States Congress Ted Lieu echoed similar sentiments
US Senator Kamala Harris too chimed in
