President Trump landed in Los Angeles on Friday to survey the devastation from the firestorms that swept through the county.

The president will depart on Air Force One for L.A. this afternoon for a brief trip that may or may not include his old foe, Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The president has had harsh words for state and local leaders in California amid the deadly blazes. He recently suggested that federal aid could come with strings.

Prior to arriving in California Friday, Trump told reporters in North Carolina that the Federal Government would not provide aid to Los Angeles recovery efforts unless new voter ID laws were passed and changes were made to the state's water management system.
