>President Donald Trump said those who lost their homes in the Los Angeles County fires should be entitled to a ten to fifteen percent bonus on their house, declaring it is not their fault their homes burned down. >Trump shared his idea at a roundtable with officials in Los Angeles County as fires have destroyed over 16,000 structures and claimed 28 lives in Southern California in recent weeks. >“And I would do one other thing: I’d give them a ten percent, fifteen percent bonus on their house because they went through hell, and they should be allowed to build … give them a little bit lot line bonus, give them a bonus on size, maybe a little bonus on height,” Trump said. >“You know, some of them had houses where they were restricted. They have to have an eight-foot ceiling; you let them have a 10-foot ceiling. Let them build a nice house, a nicer house than they had before,” Trump added. >Trump’s suggestion, which he predicted would be “very well-received,” garnered enthusiasm as the room broke out in applause. >“They deserve it because you know what: It’s not their fault that this fire took place. This fire took place — [it] could’ve been stopped … It’s not the homeowner’s fault, and I think they should be entitled to a bonus on their house,” Trump said. . .
