trump actually told Chris Wallace that the fires in Cali were ‘because nobody went out & raked up all the little dried trees.’
I seriously don’t know how he walks & breathes at the same time!0 idea about anything! I am embarrassed for all of us every day!

Take fossil fuel money with one hand and tweet blame with the other.

6. The phrase "little dried trees" by itself says how much he doesn't know.

Do any smoke jumpers who voted for this moron or his GOP apologists know just how little Trump & Co. think about them and the complex, dangerous, and critical work that they do?

7. Improper leaf raking???

Where does he get these ideas? I know he cannot fully commit to Climate Change, the hoax driven by the Chinese. But really, other than your own Crazy Uncle, who would say this? On National TV with Wallace standing in attention?

I did find it interesting that Wallace himself started to quickly steer the Donald away from the ' fireman were raking the little burning bushes, the leaves that should have been cleared before.'

A national embarrassment!

10. His knowledge of the outdoors is limited to golf courses and seeing Central Park from a high-rise

I'm genuinely curious what is the furthest he has ever been from a motorized transportation device a) in his life, and b) in the last half of his life.

11. Another example of his profound ignorance.

He has people to do that sort of thing at places like Mar-a-Lago, which means he knows nothing at all about routine yard or lawn maintenance, but considering he probably never camped out growing up, or even made a day trip to a tall grass park, he has zero familiarity with much of anything outside of a high rise in NYC.

It’s as simple as sending a few people out with some rakes and chainsaws in the very small forested area of California. It would take a day, tops!
