SaysWho? Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 http://www.ktvu.com/news/president-trump-talks-wildfires-california-get-your-act-together- Quote "California is a mess. We're giving billions and billions of dollars for forest fires in California. There's no reason for those fires to be like they are. They're leaving them dirty. It's a disgraceful thing. Oak trees are sitting there rotting and dry. And instead of cleaning it up, they don't touch them. They leave them. And we end up with these massive fires that we're paying hundreds of billions of dollars for to fix and the destruction is incredible. So I think California ought to get their act together and clean up their forests and manage their forests because its disgraceful. What's happening should never happen. I go all over the country and I meet with governors and the first thing they say is there's no reason for forest fires in California that in California. So I say to the governor or whoever is going to be the governor of California, you better get your act together. Because California, we're just not going to continue to pay the kind of money we're paying because of fires. It should never be to the extent. They were telling me in a couple of states. I won't even mention their name. It's like a flash, some grass will burn, it will be over in minutes. They'll lose two acres - three acres. At the most. They won't even lose that. And here we are with thousands of acres and billions and billions of dollars every year - it's the same thing every year. And they don't want to clean up their forest because they have environmental problems in cleaning it up. It should be the opposite. Cause you will lose your forest, you'll lose it. But it's costing our country hundreds of billions of dollars because of incompetence in California. So, I'm speaking now for the people of California. They don't want to see this happen. They're getting destroyed and it's hurting our budgets, it's hurting our country - and they just better get their act together." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 All part of the Trump narrative. None of this is related to global warming; it's just liberal incompetence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 “So, I’m speaking now for the people of California” As a native Californian, I can very much assure you that is not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Maybe he should focus on putting out his own dumpster fires and keeping them out before commenting how others need to get their act together to prevent and fight fires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Well that's one way to help incumbent Republican Congressmen up for reelection How much money does California contribute to the federal budget?

The def star Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Trump speaks for himself not for California. I get wild fires suck but his ideas to fix the simple problem of wild fires suck even more. I bet he wants to just cut down all the trees and put up Trump Hotels. No more fires.

No such thing in California, after it rains the chaparral basically grows then dries out and it's all over the place. There are defensive fires and preventive measures but if a fire breaks out it's basically like lighting a match in a room full of natural gas.

The maintenance fires can't happen because the state keeps allowing houses to be built in the middle of these places that need the occasional maintenance fire to avoid becoming cinderboxes.
