AFP, WASHINGTONUS President Donald Trump on Sunday once again threatened to withhold federal aid from California after its Democratic governor criticized his environmental policies. Taking a line of attack he first used last year when fires killed 86 people in northern California, Trump blamed California Governor Gavin Newsom, saying he had done “a terrible job of forest management.”“Every year, as the fire’s [sic] rage & California burns, it is the same thing-and then he comes to the Federal Government for $$$ help. Get your act together Governor,” Trump wrote on Twitter. Newsom, responding on Twitter, brushed off Trump’s criticism in a terse 12 words: “You don’t believe in climate change. “Last night they approved seven additional emergency grants in record time,” Newsom told the Times.
