I agree with almost everything you've said. At a time like this, it is despicable that a president in-waiting is still sowing division and spreading misinformation instead of rallying and supporting the state gov and its residents.
I find it esp repulsive that Trump is making false claims again about how there isn't enough water (to put out the fires). While there really is no water available at some fire hydrants, it wasn't because there was no water feeding the hydrants. The electrical company has turned off the power as a means to prevent transmission lines from sparking new fires, and that unfortunately caused the pumps feeding water to the fire hydrants to have no power. But the casual observer wouldn't know that -- all they see is no water coming out from the hydrants, and then it makes Trump's BS claim more credible.
At the same time, the LA mayor's prior absence and inability to answer the hard questions are only adding more ammunition for Trump to use.
I also find it wild that when people point out these facts (as reported by different news media), many idiot Trump supporters would instantly go on to say something along the lines of "these leftard media outlets are not to be trusted", or that they are reporting fake news. It's rich that these people would believe any and everything that Trump spews from his mouth instead news reported by actual news outlets...
