The head of the department that heads the forest service is a trump appointment. So he is correct in stating this person has no idea what he is doing.

Needs the money for his legal defence.

CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES:
In a press conference just moments ago, authorities say now 23 people have been confirmed dead with more than 100 still missing in Northern California alone. In Southern California hundred of thousands have been evacuated and so far two people have been found trying to escape burned in their car. That number will probably rise as emergency crews can access the damaged areas. No sympathy, no concern to the hardworking responders or the lives lost, just ill-informed tweets of blame. #FuckTrump

First of all it's the federal governments job to manage the forested areas of California just as in the other 49 states! So he just found another cash cow for his taking.

Trump hates California because California is a leader in opposing him: environmental policies, voting, immigration, sanctuary cities and more.

How much does Trump hate California? Let us count the way:

He is the poster child for mismanaging money. Look at his personal finances.

He wouldn't say that if it was a red state. He is obviously having a hissy fit because of Tuesdays results.

Fan the flames in California. Drop tRump into the middle of the fire and let that fat burn.

Why is he allowed to get away with this bullshit?
Seriously. WHY?
His behavior is inappropriate, untoward, and wholly unacceptable.
He is demonstrably mentally unstable.
He's a motherfucking criminal.
Why are we continuing to put up with this piece of shit?

It would all be different if his investments or assets were being threatened.
