Hollywood blasts Trump over 'demented' tweet about California wildfires

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Numerous celebrities slammed President Trump on social media after he blamed the fast-growing wildfires in California on mismanagement by state officials and threatened to withdraw federal funding.

"There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor," Trump said on Twitter early Saturday morning.

"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!” he continued.

Shortly after his remarks, Katy Perry, Sarah Silverman, Ava DuVernay and other Hollywood stars took to Twitter to rail against the president.

“This is an absolutely heartless response,” Perry said on Twitter. “There aren’t even politics involved. Just good American families losing their homes as you tweet, evacuating into shelters.”

4. I actually think it's a good thing he cannot help himself.

He should lose votes not only from Republicans who lost their homes, but from firefighters, not just in California, but all over the country. It was really an insulting thing he said.

5. He definitely did not write that follow up tweet. Written by a professional

who fortunately was able to snatch his twitter machine. Can see him pouting in the background. POS. One runs out of invectives.

6. But they're not beautiful, tough, patriots

like the people who attend his rallys, or the folks in Houston and S.C. unlike those helpless crybabies in Puerto Rico.
