In reply to the discussion: Trump tweets 'gross mismanagement of forests' is to blame for California wildfires [View all]Takket
(23,472 posts)41. I can't believe anything he would say would make me think "this is dispicable, even for him."
But here we are............ his response to Americans burning to death it to threaten to pull funding, WHICH HE ALREADY CUT, for the service that manages California forests.
Literally
Americans are burning to DEATH. Not trying to be dramatic.... that is what is happening. and he wants to cut funding to the service that helps protect them. That's like saying Chicago should disband its police department because it costs too much and people still get murdered.
