Rick Caruso says Trump and Newsom need to put beef aside for L.A. firefighting

Rick Caruso calls President Trump and Governor of California Gavin Newsom to put aside their political pettiness and come together to help those suffering from the Los Angeles wildfires.

The billionaire developer was a guest on “TMZ Live” on Thursday and we asked him how Newsom should handle Trump's upcoming visit given that the two politicians absolutely loathe each other.

Rick says Trump and Newsom need to remember that they are both public servants, and the crisis in LA requires them to work together and find common ground to help the thousands of Angelenos who have lost their homes and jobs.

Caruso is one of this city's business titans, and he tells us that LA needs both men to help with the massive rebuilding… and adds that Trump and Newsom should be on their guard, no one wants to hear about their political grievances or Differences in this matter hear situation.

Trump has already threatened to withhold federal aid from California, so things are definitely tense ahead of Friday's visit.

Rick says Trump and Newsom need to remember that they are public servants and he hopes they “rise above things and do the right thing.”

Newsom and LA mayor Karen Bass are both exposed to severe criticism for the wildfire response, and there's a movement in town to recall Bass…so we asked Rick if he would consider running for office again. He lost to Bass in the 2022 mayoral election.
