Letters to the Editor: Can Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump actually get along? Looks like it

LA Times  

To the editor: It was very interesting to see the interaction between Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Trump after the president’s visit on Friday to see the Palisades fire damage.

To the editor: A huge thank-you to Rep. Brad Sherman for standing up to Trump at the meeting held in response to the horrific fires experienced by the residents of Pacific Palisades and Altadena.
