We KNOW that Trump and his admin has it in for California….
But with the forest fire claiming 9 lives and millions of dollars of property?
He is threatening to WITHDRAW Federal aid?
(The aid and assistance will be forthcoming)
The man TRUELY is NOT the President of the whole United States….
WE know he’ll back away from these stupid and ill placed comments…
But WTF IS this guy the President?
President Trump early Saturday blamed the fast-growing California wildfires on “gross mismanagement” of the state’s forests, threatening to withdraw federal funding.
“There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor,” Trump tweeted from Paris early Saturday morning. “Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!”
Trump’s first comments about the massive wildfires came hours after he declared a state of emergency for California, allowing federal assistance to supplement local response as three major wildfires burn across the state.
State officials late Friday announced that at least nine people have died in a deadly Northern California blaze, dubbed the Camp Fire. The flames incinerated most of Paradise, Calif., destroying 6,453 homes and another 260 commercial structures, according to The Associated Press…..

The death toll has climbed to 23….
Well, that was quick.
Perhaps due to a rather scorching blowback (to use some suitable metaphors) from the head of the California firefighters’ association, these are two of the President’s tweets today:

I just approved an expedited request for a Major Disaster Declaration for the State of California. Wanted to respond quickly in order to alleviate some of the incredible suffering going on. I am with you all the way. God Bless all of the victims and families affected.

Hates California; it’s cold and it’s damp….
(That’s why the lady is tramp.
Seems like there ain’t to many Republican votes left in the state….
His beating the state up in public seems to have , as usual with him, made things WORST for Republicans….
They should keep carrying the water for Trump…
They’ll ALL go down with the ship….
And they KNOW better…
The 2017 GOP tax bill’s elimination of the state & local tax deduction on Schedule A of the Federal 1040 certainly did the Republicans no good in California, New York or New Jersey — certainly not in the suburbs.
THAT WAS pointed out here and other places
But there ain’t many GOP votes in those places….
That simple…..
Not sure why James feels the need to ridicule your comment. NJ went from 5 Republicans in the US House to one – and it would not have happened if not for the tax bill. My district (Lance-R) was one of the districts that flipped.
Hello Z….
Nice to hear from ya….
I wasn’t knocking DSD…
I was agreeing with him….
The tax cut/giveaway has turned out to be a failure for GOPer’s in Cali and Jersey and elsewhere….
Trump’s ‘Blue funk’ is of his OWN making?
A win by electoral maneuvering does NOT help you or your party make gains across the country…
It seems to keep you attached JUST TO your base?
