Trump says the president of Finland said they prevent wild fires by raking leaves. The president of Finland has confirmed that he never said anything about “raking leaves” to prevent fires.
Is Trump lying or delusional? Answer: both.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/finland-president-sauli-niinisto-denies-telling-donald-trump-the-country-rakes-forests/
Governor Jerry Brown pointed out that far more FEDERAL land was burned in the recent fires after Trump slashed forest management budgets and that California has EXPANDED its forestry program.
About 60% of California forest land is managed by Trump’s federal government. About 33% is in private hands and only about 7% of forest land in California is managed by the state.
So if Trump wants to blame government policy (ignoring climate change), he is admitting the failure of HIS administration in forestry management.
