CALIFORNIA—On January 25, President Trump accompanied by First Lady, Melania Trump, boarded Marine One to survey storm damage in North Carolina and the aftermath of rampant wildfires in southern California.


Governor Gavin Newsom greeted President and First Lady Melania Trump on the tarmac as they exited the plane at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

The President met with local leaders in both states assuring them of his support indicating that the Trump Administration will be waiving the normally required permits needed to begin the debris clean-up. Trump said, “That could take up to 10 years. We want to get it done in 10 days.”

Before sitting down with Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass, and others, Trump took an aerial tour and saw the ruins of the Pacific Palisades, Eaton, and Hughes fires, among others.

“You really can’t believe it, unless you see it,” Trump stated publicly.


While Trump was in California touring the aftermath of the fires, and meeting with some of the people who lost their homes, Pete Hegseth was confirmed as U.S. Secretary of Defense. Reporters following the President called out questions. One asked the President, what he thought about outgoing Senator, Mitch McConnell (R-KY) voting against confirming Hegseth.

Trump indicated that he had not heard that, but it didn’t matter. What mattress is that “We Won.” Hegseth brought in at least 50 votes to confirm the win.
