Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said Sunday she is in communication with the incoming Trump administration as local and state politicians have invited President-elect

President Trump is ripping California Gov. Gavin Newsom over mismanagement of the state leading up to the devastating wildfires and handling of sanctuary cities ahead of his visit to the Golden State.

Donald Trump departed the White House on Friday for his first trip since his inauguration, with an itinerary that includes a visit to Los Angeles to survey fire damage and get an update on the recovery efforts in the Pacific Palisades.

Millions of California residents were placed under a red flag warning through Thursday amid threats of further fires with looming winds in the forecast, according to multiple reports.

California is no longer the sole focus of Trump’s first presidential trip, which now includes stops in North Carolina and Nevada — on the same day.

Kimmel slammed Trump during his late night show, calling the incoming president 'disgusting and irresponsible' for his response to the wildfires.

At this point, it remains to be seen just how vulnerable Bass is due to her perceived failure to prepare and then respond to the fires.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said she would welcome President Donald Trump if he opted to visit the city amid the devastation of the wildfires. "I would say, Welcome to Los Angeles," she said. She added conversations would surround getting federal aid to those impacted by the fires.

President-elect Donald Trump will likely travel to California next week to view the aftermath of the devastating wildfires in greater Los Angeles.
