Trump offered assistance.

If he offered assistance, there's no evidence of that in the article you linked. Thanks a bunch.

Another fail. This doesn't address the point you originally replied to, which was HighStepper's comment was that there was not a Trump offer of assistance that was rejected by Newsom because of lobbying by environmental groups.

When Democrats are in charge and something goes wrong they always blame someone else.
"It was the fire depts fault, it was climate change, it was the water pressure, blah, blah, blah."

Remember about a decade ago when the governor of Michigan(who was a Republican) was blamed by Democrats for the lead in Flint's water? The lead pipes were installed during WWI before the governor was even born.

Remember a few years ago when that ice storm hit Texas and the power went out, the Democrats tried to blame Sen Ted Cruz(R) because he was on vacation in Mexico? A US Senator has little control over the power grid.

In this case the fires were the direct cause of letting crazy people and illegals out on the streets to start them, then not having the resources to put them out.

They don't know who or how the fire was started so making statements of how or who started the fire is bullshit.  They may never know.  My concern is nothing was done to lessen the fire load and we see the result.  Democrats can say nothing could be done because of the high winds.  Well they did nothing so did officials know there would be high winds and nothing could be done to stop the wide spread destruction so why bother?  Why spend money on something you can't stop?  I wonder which city is next?
