Fox News GOES NUTS as Trump BLOWS UP America

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom was captured on video laughing Wednesday while listening to President Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

During his speech, which lasted over an hour and saw him confuse Iceland with Greenland, Trump lavished praise on his own administration for the “help” it provided the city of Los Angeles last year, referring to his immigration raids that saw state leaders declare a state of emergency.

“We’re gonna help the people in California, we want to have no crime. I know Gavin was here – I used to get along so great with Gavin when I was president, Gavin’s a good guy,” Trump said, as C-SPAN footage showed Newsom listening near the back of the large auditorium.

“If he needed it, I would do it in a heartbeat, we did help them a lot in Los Angeles. If I were a Democrat governor, I would call up Trump, I’d say ‘come on in, make us look good,’ because we’re cutting crime down to nothing!”

Following Trump’s remarks about “cutting crime down to nothing,” Newsom could be seen cracking a large smile and laughing, shaking his head while standing near the back of the room.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is backing off plans to terminate disaster relief workers as a major winter storm bears down on much of the country.

Bloomberg News reviewed an internal email sent this week to some FEMA officials instructing them to “cease offboarding” some of FEMA’s Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery Employees (CORE) and promised updated guidance would follow, but the message did not explain the reasoning for the revised order.

"The pause comes as a winter storm is expected to bring heavy snow, ice and extreme cold across a wide swath of the U.S.," the outlet reported. "FEMA lost more than 3,700 employees — or about 14 percent of the agency — between January and November last year, according to newly released federal workforce data."

The Trump administration has cut into the federal workforce by culling temporary and probationary workers and encouraging veteran employees to leave with incentive packages.

The House passed a Homeland Security appropriations bill last week that urged FEMA to maintain sufficient staffing, including reservists and CORE workers, and Senate Democrats sent a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem asking her to pause the terminations while the full Senate considers the measure.

FEMA said in a statement that officials were following standard protocol and activating its national response center and dismissed reports of staffing cuts as “manufactured drama.”
