So your solution to unsatisfactory forest fire prevention and management (which at least somewhat battles/contains it, not to mention the fires that have been stopped before it got to that point) is to remove funding? Won’t that lead to even worse management?

The solution is to elect competent people to do the job. That obligation falls on Californians. So easy to blame everything on Trump when we sit around elect incompetent representatives over and over and assign blame because we are too lazy to keep ourselves informed.

I don’t know how that all works but I was referring to the fact that he said that since they’re not doing a satisfactory job that his solution was to take away funding altogether which is stupid and doesn’t make sense. Didn’t blame him for the current fires or their containment.

All the money there getting and they don't appropriate properly and take care of our state and our people. That is the fault of the state and the bureaucrats and the people who won't vote in responsible people to look out for the needs of California.

Then what is the point of threatening to take away funding? Why not actually just be a part of the solution himself?

Because crazy environmentalists prevent proper upkeep of forests. Jerry Brown confirmed Trump's statement. You can't have it both ways: protect every animal and protect every forest. YOUR GOVERNOR AGREED WITH TRUMP!

This brought tears to my eyes. I feel so sad for our beautiful state, its friendly lovely people and the battering we are getting from The Haters who are bashing us while our citizens suffer such hardship, loss of life and homes. We truly are the Divided States of America.

I fear mr Trump seems not the cause but a symptom of the division. It’s strange to see the US so openly falling apart and this disease is spreading everywhere. I hope we can reunite through the undertow of friendship, neighborship, families, education.. good luck CA

Thank you so much for your kind wishes! I am praying for my dear Aunt and her husband who lost their home and their entire historic village is gone. This is a time Americans should come together as one people

Perhaps if you would regulate the corporations who cause these fires, we wouldn't have them. Sparks off PG&E equipment caused the #CampFire & #ThomasFire etc. You're the #worstdumbestpresidentever.

Make America rake again!

Did my raking Saturday.

Mr. President, you seem to be misinformed about the catastrophic “Camp Fire” in California. For starters, these “forest fires” in California did not take place in forests, and therefore cannot be characterized as such.

Additionally, there actually are a few good reasons for these fires that have nothing to do with “forest management,” including both global warming and environmental factors, which impact the intensities and speed of the fires.

You also seem to be placing the blame on California for not properly managing their forests, but the U.S. government actually owns the majority of the forests in California. If anyone is to blame for the mismanagement of the California forests, it would be the U.S. government.
