President-elect Donald Trump continued to weigh in on criticism for California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom for mismanagement leading to the ongoing deadly Los Angeles-area wildfires saying the "ultimate price is being paid" for an "incompetent governor."

"Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way," Trump wrote in a scathing Truth Social rebuke. "He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn't work!), but didn't care about the people of California."

Actions under the guise of environmentalism are costing Californian lives, homes, property, and wealth, according to Trump.

"Now the ultimate price is being paid," he continued. "I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this."

"On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!"

Trump's remarks were pointed at the governor alone, but James Woods also took Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley, inspired by diversity, equity, and inclusion, to task.

"This fire is not from 'climate change,' you ignorant a**hole," Woods wrote on X, blasting a climate change activist for propaganda and insensitivity. "It's because liberal idiots like you elect liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass."

"One doesn't understand the first thing about fire management, and the other can't fill the water reservoirs."
