California wildfires: Katy Perry slams Donald Trump for threatening to withhold funds amidst tragedy

California is being razed by three huge wildfires at the same time and thousands of residents have been evacuated
UPDATED NOV 11, 2018

Singer Katy Perry has spoken out against President Donald Trump after he threatened to withhold the federal payments from the state's "poor" forest management skills for the ongoing California wildfires. The furious singer said in a tweet on November 10: "This is an absolutely heartless response. There aren’t even politics involved. Just good American families losing their homes as you tweet, evacuating into shelters." 

Trump tweeted at 2 am threatening to withhold funds to the state of California over what he said was a "gross mismanagement" of its forests. The tweet comes at a time when the state is being razed by three huge wildfires at the same time.
