‘The View’s Ana Navarro Says Trump’s “Woefully Inappropriate” Response To L.A. Wildfires Proves He “Has Not Changed” And “Will Not Change”

Ana Navarro thinks Donald Trump‘s reaction to the Los Angeles wildfires is just a warning of what’s to come when he takes office in a week. On today’s episode of The View, Navarro tore into Trump for blaming Gov. Gavin Newsom for the fires instead of showing his support for residents of the state who’ve been affected by the disaster.

Trump, who will be inaugurated for his second term on Jan. 20, has criticized California leaders like Newsom for their “incompetent” response to the fires; Newsom told Meet the Press that he invited Trump to come to California himself, but Trump did not respond to his offer.

Navarro was appalled by the incoming president’s antics and told viewers that if they expected a new Trump this time around, they were in for a rude awakening.

“I think what this has shown us is, for people who thought that Donald Trump has changed, he has not changed, OK?” she began. “He is the same immature, insensitive, inappropriate oaf that he’s always been.”

She then suggested, “What he should be doing right now is putting out tweets saying, ‘I thank the heroic first responders, I thank the countries of Canada and Mexico and all the others who’ve helped, I thank the surrounding states that have sent help. I have talked to Gov. Newsom, I have talked to Mayor Karen Bass, I have told them that my administration in seven days will be ready to supply everything and anything that California needs. Californians, my thoughts are with you.'”

Navarro exclaimed, “Those are the things you have to say!” then, in a line that would surely tick off Trump, she added, “If you need help with figuring it out, go look at everything that Joe Biden has said for the last four years after a natural disaster.”

The co-host, who is a longtime Florida resident, said she has seen “so many hurricanes” in her time there, and insisted that anyone who has suffered through a natural disaster wants to “see your federal government, your state government, your city government working seamlessly with each other,” which she said she saw between Biden, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava after the Surfside condo collapse of 2021.

Navarro then brought it all back to Trump, proclaiming again that he will be the same man in 2025 as he was in 2016.

“He has not changed. He will not change,” she declared. “All of those people thinking he has, I don’t know what you’re smoking. I’d like some of it, please.”
