The media says Trump shouldn't make disaster aid to California continent on reforms. But why should the American people subsidize a state whose Gov. @GavinNewsom & @MayorOfLA de-funded firefighters & drained a reservoir that would have saved a neighborhood? It's a moral hazard.

California is the richest state with the highest taxes and yet it cut funding for firefighting, which led directly to L.A.'s catastrophic fires. Why? Because Newsom & Bass diverted billions from preventing and fighting catastrophic fires to migrants, homeless, and climate.

The statement criticizes California's spending and leadership, suggesting hypocrisy in requesting federal aid while allegedly mismanaging state funds. It uses strong language, implying narcissism and irresponsibility among California's leaders.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement uses strong, critical language that could be seen as harmful or inflammatory, potentially violating the principle of doing no harm. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not respect the dignity of California's leaders, using terms like 'narcissism' which could be considered disrespectful. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive dialogue, instead opting for personal attacks on California's leaders. [-1]
