‘Commiefornia’ Dems like Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass slammed for spurning Trump’s takeover of Palisades rebuild efforts

Enraged Palisades wildfire victims are slamming “Commiefornia” Democrats for dunking on President Trump’s executive order that would expedite the rebuilding process — and get them back home.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were ripped Tuesday for their lackluster efforts to get the devastated enclave get back on its feet — and for then having the gall to pooh-pooh Trump’s generous plan.

“Totally deflecting and not even sitting on the topic,” one Palisades resident fumed. “I don’t understand why the state would [oppose the aid], other than they want to oppose anything that this current administration does.”

“If the feds are coming in to help streamline things and make it better and easier for us, I’m all for it,” he added, saying that his neighbors are “almost hopeless” on being able to rebuild under the current process.

“The federal government is going to manage the process because California doesn’t seem to have the ability to keep track of its money and manage its money.”

Newsom caught most of the ire after The California Post broke the news Monday that Trump would sidestep state Democrats with an executive order that would fast-track the permit approval process for residents to rebuild the homes that were torched in last year’s inferno.

Wildfires destroyed an estimated 16,000 structures, but Los Angeles city and county officials have only issued 2,600 permits to rebuild so far, a sad figure Trump blamed on Newsom and Bass’s incompetence.

The governor whined on X that “an executive order to rebuild Mars would do just as useful” — an inane comment that only fueled the brewing frustration of the people the order would benefit.

“We all know what happens when federal funding is sent to commiefornia, it disappears,” one user commented under Newsom’s post.

“People who live in LA can see with our own eyes. You are a liar and a failure,” another wrote.

“[Trump] Please do not allow Newscum to be in control of any federal funds. He won’t even allow people to claim their tips on their state taxes,” said another.

Bass also caught plenty of flak after she told The California Post that Trump has “no authority over the local permitting process” and should instead “demand the insurance industry pay people for their losses so that survivors can afford to rebuild.”

“The President should handle his business, because we are handling ours,” Bass said.

Constituents made it clear they did not agree that Bass had a handle on the city, and aired out their grievances on a Tuesday X post where the mayor called on fellow Democrats to band together for the sake of public safety.

“LA is a lawless s…thole,” said one person on X.

“Can’t get houses rebuilt tho,” said another.

Several Palisades victims told The California Post Monday that relief ushered in by the federal government would be life-changing.

“We’re so desperate. We really need the help. We cannot do this on our own,” Jessica Rogers said with tears in her eyes.

“Our state’s not capable, our city’s not capable, this is not something that requires a village, it requires the nation. We need our federal government to come in.”

Trump’s order is designed to “preempt” the building permit process — and empower the federal government to maneuver around the needless obstacles imposed by Democratic leaders.

The order calls out the “nightmare” of delays and “bureaucratic malaise” at the California state and local levels — and it will almost certainly be challenged by Democrats in power in the Golden State, despite displaced residents literally crying out to be made whole again.

Less than 15% of all the homes destroyed by the fires have received necessary approvals to move forward, according to the Trump administration.
