As wildfires continue to ravage Los Angeles, Trump's stance has gained traction with some Republicans, raising concerns about the government's response to the disaster. With the crisis deepening, Democrats are slamming Trump's threat as a politicization of disaster relief, highlighting the need for swift and unconditional aid to support wildfire victims and prevent further devastation. Key issues include disaster relief, wildfire aid, and government response.
