Trump's Old Tweet Bashing Funding for Smokey Bear Forest Fire Prevention PSAs Is Actually Perfect

[Initech]

I know, now, that rummaging through Donald Trump’s old tweets, while cathartic evidence of the president’s cellular level hypocrisy, just isn’t done anymore. We get it: He used to be a bloviating billionaire, now he’s a bloviating president, spewing the same sweet inanity, just in a different direction. But given Trump’s comments on the California wildfires, ranging from divisively political to simply dumb, this old Trump Smokey Bear tweet is, quite simply, perfect.

It’s the masterpiece of Old Trump Twitter©. Its defining work. The full circle. A faint reminder of a simpler time when you could just be genuinely appalled by the emerging President Trump, rather than authentically terrified by his policies, and scolded by those for not understanding what Real America™ thought or believed about him.

With this Smokey Bear tweet however, we can all move on together.

Smokey Bear was created by the U.S. Forest Service as an educational tool to help promote awareness and prevention of human-initiated forest fires. With slogans like “Smokey Says Care Will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires” and “Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires,” Smokey nuzzled his way into the American consciousness in 1944 and never left. The anthropomorphic black bear is the country’s longest-running public service advertising campaign. .

1. I guess he has always watched too much TV.

2. Still another ironic reversal by trump, who accuses others of lying, etc.

. . . so the quote may be better read as, 'who is paying for that tedious trump crap that is on all the time - enough all ready.'
