At some point Donald Trump came up with the idea that he had an impact on one of the largest economies in the world. No, this is not a story about tariffs and international relationships.
The large economy that trumps trump is California, since the president said he wanted the state to change its electoral laws in exchange for disaster assistance while the state continues to fight for forest fires.
Senator Adam Schiff had a very direct message to Trump and spokesman Mike Johnson, after Johnson proposed, to determine conditions for disaster relief in forest fires:
This is simply shameful. The Americans are doing badly at the moment. When his state was hit by Katrina, I fought for help for Katrina. A year later I traveled there with a congress delegation to see how recovery progresses and to address the question of how slowly it goes and how we have to give it more urgency.
I didn't think about it for a moment, okay, this is a red state, maybe we shouldn't help, or maybe we should make it to an independent political goal. I find it shameful what he says and let me say the following: As a Californian, we have given more for the reconstruction of other countries than any other state in the Union.
You don't want to go this way. None of us want to go this way. And I am glad that the president went to California. I urged him to go to California. He did it. I had the feeling that it moved him when he saw the extent of the devastation. I think he was touched, but we should not try to connect independent political issues with people's suffering.
