Jimmy Kimmel isn’t able to welcome President Donald Trump, who will go to Los Angeles on Friday to see the harm left by a sequence of devastating wildfires.
“He’s right here guilty us for the fires in individual,” Kimmel stated. “It’s the primary time in historical past {that a} pure catastrophe shall be visited by an excellent larger pure catastrophe.”
He added that the president might need an ulterior motive for leaving Washington so early in his presidency: “to get away from Elon [Musk] for a few days.”
Trump and different Republicans are threatening to withhold catastrophe reduction assist from California except they get political concessions from the state.
“On one hand, you may assume, ‘Oh, wow, what a really — solely a despicable human being would use catastrophe reduction cash as a bargaining chip.’ However then again…” he stated. “There is no such thing as a different hand. It’s simply that hand. It’s simply that grubby, grabby little hand of his.”
