UPDATED: Donald Trump told reporters that the devastation from the Palisades fire was “really not believable,” having viewed the destruction from the air before taking a walking tour down Fiske Street.

Earlier, Trump was greeted by California Governor Gavin Newsom as he arrived this afternoon at LAX for a tour of wildfire devastation, with the two political rivals exchanging friendly greetings and vowing that they would work together. “We’re looking to get something completed, and the way you get it completed is to work together,” the president told reporters.

He said that the state would “need a lot of federal help,” and then said to Newsom, standing by his side, “unless you don’t need any.” “We’re going to need a lot of federal help,” Newsom said.

Earlier today, Trump said that he wanted to place conditions on federal aid to California for recovery efforts. One is tied to Trump’s claim — denied by Newsom — that the governor had failed to release water flow from northern to southern California.
