As California GovernorGavin Newsomsees it , rebuilding Los Angeles post - wildfires will need a " Marshall Plan " level of commitment to the region . Speaking withJacob SoboroffonNBC News’Meet the Presson Sunday morning , Gov. Newsom noted that the destruction in areas like Pacific Palisades and Altadena has ensue in the worst natural disaster in U.S. history when it come to the scale , scope , and toll associated so far . " We ’re just starting to lay out . I think of , we ’re still campaign these fires , so we ’re already talking to city leader . We ’re already talk to civic loss leader .

" President of the United States , Donald Trump , to his credit , was helpful in get the Olympics to the United States of America , to get it down here in L.A. We thank him for that .

Though Trump has n’t responded to his invitation to chit-chat the site and witness the relief efforts , Gov. Newsom has been hearing the funding threats being confound out there by those who would elevate holy nether region if it was being done to their states ( like Texas and that king grid that seems to be operate by three meth’d - out hamster on a treadmill that seems to go down if someone sneezes too firmly ) . " So that ’s his vogue , " he added . " And we take it seriously to the extent that in the past , it ’s taken a minuscule mo more time . I ’ve been pretty expressive about that in the linguistic context of someone threatening our first responders in terms of supporting the immediacy of their needs or recovery . "
