Trump wages war on California insurance giants over wildfire payouts while teasing probe: ‘Horrendous companies’
Share this @internewscast.com

President Trump has criticized State Farm and other insurance companies, accusing them of failing to support Southern California residents affected by last year’s wildfires.

In a pointed message posted on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump took aim at State Farm, describing it and similar companies as “horrendous” for allegedly neglecting homeowners who had consistently paid their insurance premiums over the years.

“Many people have been paying these companies large premiums for years, only to discover that when disaster struck, these horrendous companies were nowhere to be found!” Trump expressed in his post.

He announced that Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin has been assigned to compile a report identifying which insurance companies responded “swiftly, courageously, and bravely” to meet their legal responsibilities, and which companies failed to do so.

“Some of the names in the report surprise me, but in today’s world, nothing really surprises me anymore!” Trump noted.

He also stated that the government is “actively investigating this issue as we speak.”

“State Farm, and others, should get their act together, and treat people fairly,” he wrote.

The Post contacted State Farm for comment.

His post comes amid his ongoing feud with California state leadership, particularly Gov. Gavin Newsom, whom he has repeatedly blamed for the fires’ destructive impact.

In January, Trump issued an executive order aimed at fast-tracking LA’s rebuilding a year after the wildfires.

Trump pointed the finger at Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass for the slow rebuilding of homes ravaged by the Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires, two of the most destructive in city history.

The president has cliamed state environmental policies, like water restrictions to protect the endangered delta smelt, made firefighting harder, while failed permitting and local bureaucracy slowed rebuilding.
