President Trump went off on California Governor Gavin Newsom and Democrats over the ‘missing’ FireAid money.
Celebrities held a benefit concert and raised $100 million for California wildfire victims.
The “FireAid” money raised has gone to 188 non profits instead of payments to the victims.
“During the concert, host and actor Miles Teller told viewers “all the money raised will go directly to people who need it now and long-term efforts to build it back.”” Fox News reported.
Most of the non-profits that received “FireAid” money have not responded to Fox News’ request for comment.
President Trump called the $100 million is ‘missing’ “FireAid” money a “Democrat inspired scam.”
“FIREAID” IS A TOTAL DISASTER. LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER DEMOCRAT INSPIRED SCAM. 100 MILLION DOLLARS IS MISSING. WAS SUPPOSED TO TO GO TO THE LOS ANGELES FIRE VICTIMS, FIRES THAT, WITH PROPER MANAGEMENT, WOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN HAPPENED. GOVERNOR NEWSCUM REFUSED TO RELEASE BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT WOULD HAVE MADE! I HAVE SINCE OVERRULED HIM, AND IT IS NOW RELEASED. All FEDERAL HOUSING PERMITS HAVE ALSO BEEN APPROVED, THE CITY IS YEARS LATE. GET THE FIRE VICTIMS THEIR APPROVALS TO REBUILD, AND DO IT NOW!
The wildfires ravaged Southern California and destroyed thousands of homes in the Pacific Palisades and other cities more than six months ago yet less than 100 building permits have been issued.
It looks like nothing has been done over the last several months.

Earlier this month Newsom announced $101 million in funding for new ‘multifamily rental housing’ as a solution for housing displaced residents in the area. It almost seems like this was the goal all along.
With @California_HCD, we’re delivering $101M to help rapidly rebuild affordable, multifamily rental housing for Angelenos displaced by the January wildfires.
We’re ensuring that everyone affected by this tragedy has a safe and affordable place to come home to. pic.twitter.com/EyLAxmk518
