LOS ANGELES, California — As fire-wrecked Los Angeles braces for a visit by President Donald Trump, many are worrying the mercurial Republican will yank the federal support the city needs to get back on its feet.
Trump is due in the shell-shocked city for a few hours on Friday afternoon, where he will be able to see for himself the devastation wrought by the deadly fires — damage whose repair will cost billions of dollars.Former president Joe Biden was quick to pledge whatever was needed to deal with the disaster in the waning days of his administration.
But, the person said, the demography of the disaster — which affected some very wealthy people as well as those of more modest means — gives hope that Trump won't be able to abandon the region.'Trump may think of Altadena as a bunch of low-life Democrats, but Pacific Palisades is a different story,' the source said.'That's the first zip code where he and other Republicans go to when they want to raise money in Los Angeles.
