trump on his trip to fan the flames in California, made some alarmingly ignorant and stupid comments about forest fires — the key to preventing forest fires is to “rake the forest floors”.
You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently and it’s a whole different story
I was with the president of Finland and he said, ‘We have a much different—we're a forest nation.’ He called it a forest nation, and they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things and they don't have any problem.
And when it is, it’s a very small problem, so I know everybody is looking at it to that end and it’s going to work out, it’s going to work out well
California Governor-elect Gavin Newsom and California Gov. Jerry Brown managed to keep their poker faces while listening to the drivel from the self-described forest-fire-management stable genius.
Does make you wonder whether he comes up with this crap on his own or does he get help from the critters on Faux channel and the RW media?
Forrest trump made similar remarks in an interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace scheduled to air on Sunday.
“I was watching the firemen the other day and they were raking areas, they were raking areas where the fire was right over there. And they’re raking trees, little trees like this that are not trees, little bushes that you could see are totally dry. Weeds. And they’re raking them, they’re on fire. That should have been all raked out. You wouldn’t have the fires.”
This time, he got his ideas from a governor of an unspecified state, not Finland. He just makes s**t up.
The responses, as usual, are brutal and worth a good laugh.
So does the rest of the civilized world.
Yes, this daily dose of trump drivel is getting old; we wonder whether we should laugh or we should cry. But this episode helps expose the incompetence and callousness of trump and the GOP to the rest of the country. trump certainly has no fans in California, not even among the scorched GOP leaders there, after Orange county turned blue in this election cycle. Let’s keep up the pressure and help win the MS senate seat.
