Firefighters slam Trump’s illogical tweet about out-of-control California fires

As thousands of firefighters battled uncontrolled flames in both Northern and Southern California on Saturday, President Trump tweeted out an ill-informed, distorted message about the cause of these deadly autumn infernos.

But the firefighting community quickly rebutted the president’s claims, wherein he blamed “gross mismanagement of the forests,” while also threatening to cut federal support to fire management efforts.

There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!
