On social media, President-elect Donald Trump amplified a claim that California Gov. Gavin Newsom slashed the state's fire budget by $100 million just months before the outbreak of the recent wildfires. Newsom dismissed the claim as "a ridiculous lie," saying that under his leadership, the state has "nearly doubled" its fire protection budget. Actually, both things are true.

Newsom claimed California would have a surplus -- though he still planned to raid the "rainy day" fund, and warned of Trump's spending cuts.
