“President-elect Donald Trump offered fresh criticism early Sunday of the officials in charge of fighting the Los Angeles wildfires, calling them ‘incompetent’ and asking why the blazes were not yet extinguished,” the New York Times reports.

Said Trump: “The fires are still raging in L.A. The incompetent pols have no idea how to put them out.”
