President Trump surveyed destruction in Pacific Palisades by air and on foot during his visit to Los Angeles County on Friday afternoon, but he did not visit the ravaged community of Altadena.

President Donald Trump toured the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades Friday and vowed to "open the coffers" of the federal government and waive federal permits to expedite the rebuilding process.

After a tour of areas damaged by the California wildfires, the president sparred with local leaders and blamed them for a wide variety of issues affecting the disaster response.
