Rake America Great Again!

“We’ve got to take care of the floors. The floors of the forest,” Trump said in Paradise, CA.




“We’ve got to take care of the floors, you know the floors of the forest, very important,” he continued. “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’re a forest nation, he called it a forest nation, and they spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things. They don’t have any problem, and what it is, it’s a very small problem.”



Average relative humidity in Helsinki. 🤦‍♀️

Wonder why, even after everyone told him to go for the 'relaxed fit', he went with the 'boot cut' pants?

and people hired to "rake" the forests we have in America at $15 an hour. Did Trump think of that?

Probably not.

The humidity during Santa Anas is in the single digits...Finland has humidity that is 80% +, not 6%, and they don't have hot, dry Santa Ana winds blowing from the East (deserts).

if his life depended on it. Did he pass out rakes to devastated Californians like his goddamn paper towels to Puerto Ricans after Hurricane Maria?
