Newsom asks tRump to tour L.A.wildfire damage

and not politicize tragedy.

(SNIP)
President-elect Donald Trump has not responded to Gov. Gavin Newsom's invitation to tour California's fire damage, Newsom said Saturday afternoon.

Newsom sent a letter on Friday inviting the incoming president to California to meet with fire victims, survey the devastation in Los Angeles County and join him in thanking first responders. The invitation, which the governor’s office said was emailed to Trump’s team, marked a slight change in tone in the political battle between Newsom and Trump, with Newsom imploring Trump not to politicize the tragedy.

It's a waste of time dealing with him and distracts from more urgent concerns.

But good move by Newsom. A prelude to playing offense and telling Trump to start acting like a President.

Which is why I'll be shocked if he shows up there. They rarely let him out in public, and, we're mostly getting social media spew and still photographs. I don't think his handlers are interested in another batshit-crazy press conference, like the last one.
