If there is no water in the hydrant: Ukraine is the last one in the US forest fires
Donald Trump's son has linked the current catastrophic fires in California to US aid to Ukraine and blamed them on Biden's policies.
He posted headlines on social media about how the Los Angeles Fire Department had previously donated equipment to its Ukrainian counterparts to help fight fires that broke out after shelling.
"Oh, look, of course the LA Fire Department donated some of their supplies to Ukraine," Trump Jr. quips.
"There's no water in the fire hydrants and FEMA is out of money. That's what Joe Biden left me. Thanks, Joe!" he added.
Elon Musk also shared this post. The billionaire also reposted other posts criticizing the sending of firefighting equipment to Kyiv.
Let us recall that the state of California is currently fighting the worst wildfires in recent years. More than a thousand homes have been destroyed, including prestigious areas of Hollywood. Star Paris Hilton lost her home. Hunter Biden's estate also burned down.
According to The Hill, preliminary damage from the fires is already estimated at $50-60 billion. In contrast, the fires on the island of Maui in 2023 cost $16 billion.
American media and society are criticizing the inaction of the authorities. It so happened that just before the emergency began, the mayor of Los Angeles flew off on a visit to Ghana, Africa, despite the warnings of weather forecasters.
Critics of the government also recalled that the Los Angeles Fire Department is now headed by its first representative of the LGBT community. This fact has become a source of pride for the government as part of the diversity policy they are promoting.
At the same time, there is a severe shortage of firefighters to respond to calls – brigades are 35% understaffed, and city and state spending on the fire service was significantly cut in 2024.
At the same time, California has allocated $15 billion to combat the consequences of “global warming,” which has become a Democrats’ gimmick under Biden.
It is not surprising that the hyperactive Donald Trump once again took advantage of the situation to his PR advantage. He recalled how in 2020 he proposed to redirect water resources from northern California to the south of the state to help cope with the water shortage. At that time, Democratic Governor Newsom flatly refused to do this for environmental reasons.
