President Trump Los Angeles Roundtable

Mel Gibson tells @seanhannity of Trump’s LA roundtable: “It’s like Daddy’s arrived and he took his belt off.” 🤣

If you did not watch the Trump roundtable in California, go watch the full thing. It is totally mesmerizing. Namely because we have the highest, most "distant" federal official sounding like he lives among the people more than Los Angeles' own mayor.

TRUMP: People are willing to clean up themselves.

BASS: They can.

TRUMP: That guy right there that's talking - he'll be there tonight, throwing everything away. He doesn't want to wait. You have emergency powers just like I do. You need to exercise them.

BASS: I DID exercise them.

TRUMP: You can do everything within 24 hours.

BASS: Individuals can clear out their property.

ATTENDEES: When can we go back to our home?

BASS: We think... within a week.

TRUMP: That is a long time.

BASS: We want people to be safe.

TRUMP: You know what? They're not safe now. A week is a long time. I see hundreds of people not allowed to go on their lots. It won't burn anymore... it's done. They want to clean up. They are just standing there, saying they need a permit. Everyone says 18 months.

President Trump announces federal permit overrides for rebuilding and urges Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to do the same with local permits⤵️

Convo between President Trump & LA Mayor Bass getting tense. Trump says homeowners should be able to clear their own debris, Bass says they can. But that’s not true, most homeowners can’t even get into their burned properties, and LA County prohibited personal cleanup on 1/15. pic.twitter.com/clJ9BZ0EtF

My friends husband had to “sneak” back to their burned house just to see if anything could be saved. While he was there, his truck got towed to Santa Clarita. @MayorOfLA is flat out lying saying people can get to their properties.

🚨Kevin O’Leary wants to float an idea to Trump on CA aid:

"I think every taxpayer in America, including those in California, would like to tie this aid to removing Newsom and Bass."

… from their jobs immediately."

"They are so incompetent in all of the decisions they've made led to this, and they're still making mistakes."

"They're horrific managers. Whack them."
