Trump just makes shit up. Then denies it. After he gets caught. On tape.

You libtards are pathetic. Trump wasn't quoting what the Finish president said, just relaying some of their conversation. You understand how speech works, don't you?

"I was with the president of Finland, and he said, ‘We have a much different — we’re a forest nation.’ He called it a forest nation,” Trump continued. “And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem."

"raking and cleaning and doing things" he was just getting the message across that the Fins are active about their forest management.

“I mentioned [to] him that Finland is a land covered by forests and we also have a good monitoring system and network,” Niinistö said, adding that he recalled telling Trump: “We take care of our forests.”

Darn you got me...

He lies then denies. I am not more concerned with the term he used....I am more concerned that he flat out lies and denies it after being caught. DAILY.

You should be too. Small lies, big lies....LIES. ALL THE TIME. Dude just lies. A LOT.

So what if he lies? You lie. I lie. Everybody lies. Remember when your parents would lie and say things like if you don't come inside when it gets dark the boogyman will get you?

What you should be concerned about is why is he lying? So what if he said the Finnish president said something about rakes. The point he was making was still valid and it was said with the best intentions. He wants California to commit to managing its forests so people don't have to die agonizing deaths and lose everything they own.

You ARE more concerned with "Rakes" than the real issue which is exactly what the Media has programed you to think about. It's pathetic and it makes you an NPC.

LOL- You sound like a programmed bot.
"The point he was making was still valid and it was said with the best intentions."

BLAH BLAH BLAH

MAGA!!!!

Interpretation:
LOL- You used logic like a robot
"The point he was making was still valid and it was said with the best intentions."

ME NO UNDERSTAND LOGICAL ARGUMENTS

I THINK I LANDED A BURN BUT I'M JUST MAKING MYSELF LOOK STUPID!!!!

Gosh, you're an idiot.

Gosh, you're an idiot

Says the guy who accuses others of being foreign without any evidence. You are about as idiotic as it gets on this site bar laonsite, so I'd cool it, toots.

You should cool it. And while your at it, try learning which British slang we do not use in the US.

Also, while your head seems to function best as a buttplug, doesn't mean that you should leave it up Trump's arse permanently. That guys's anus is already distended enough from Putin putting his pent up there, and lately, the Saudi Prince's. He farts enough as is.

Aye?

You sound triggered. Seek mental help.

No u.

This is just the misquoting and exaggerating that happens all the time on imgflip, usually by the right.

Trump over the weekend blamed the fires, which are the most destructive in the state's history, on "gross mismanagement" of the forests.

Fire officials and lawmakers were quick to point out that nearly 60 percent of California's forests are under federal oversight.

The areas most damaged by California's ongoing wildfires have been those managed by the federal government. Last year in the state, 742,050 acres of federal land managed by the U.S. Forest Service burned compared to around 505,956 acres of state-managed land.

The Trump administration has also proposed slashing tens of millions of dollars from the federal agencies that oversee the California forests, McClatchy DC reported.

Npc's... Yal really are incapable of thinking for yourselves.

Yes, the Federal Government own/protects/oversees the land. Guess who actually does the management of the forests? People that live in California!

The Fed's only real interaction is supplying the money and laying down the laws. It's up to the people they hire to manage the operation to enforce everything. They are doing a shitty job, Obviously, so the bosses-bosses-boss, Trump, is saying get your shit together. Hopefully everyone gets fired and he has competent people put in.

As the latest string of California wildfires continue to burn and devastate the state, Queen Elizabeth has issued an official response to the tragedy.

Via Buckingham Palace, the Queen released the following statement:

Prince Philip and I offer our deepest sympathies to the people of California, who continue to suffer from the devastating fires across the state.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the victims, and to all those who have lost their homes and livelihoods. I pay tribute to the courage and dedication of the US emergency services and the volunteers that have provided support.
- Elizabeth R
While the statement itself appears to be directed at the victims of the fires, the release is officially titled: "A message from The Queen to The President of The United States of America." This is significant, given Donald Trump's own, starkly different, response to the tragedy currently affecting thousands on the United States' west coast.

In a series of controversial tweets last Saturday, November 11, Trump blamed California forest management officials for the deadly wildfires and threatened to cut federal aid to the state to combat the issue.

"There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor," Trump tweeted. "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!"

How dare you...

Hah! Oh I dare.

What's the deal with these rake memes? Did the fires spread because Californians were too lazy to rake their leaves or something? Did Trump say something about that?

"Trump told reporters Saturday while visiting the ruins of the Northern California town where a fire killed at least 76 people that wildfires weren’t a problem in Finland because crews “spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things” to clear forest floors."

Is that taken in complete context?

Seems legit.

California chose not to do a damn thing about fire prevention and the past two years have had the two worst wildfires in American history.

F**k it, what state wants to spend tax dollars paying people to Prevent wildfires when they could instead collect federal money totaling billions of dollars every year to Fight wildfires?

California puts its wallet before its people. They can eat Trumps dick for allowing 70+ people to burn to death. /spit

Whoops, excuse me.

Not legit tho. The Fins don't rake the forest floor. It's called an eco system, california has bin in a drought due to climate change. I live in BC, a lumber province, it's where the US buys its lumber from, and all my life fire are getting more frequent and larger and there are alot of factors involved and climate change is one. Raking the forest floor is not one of them, laughable.

Did you know high powered lasers can control the weather by ionizing air molecules which then give water vapor molecules a place to cling to by means of electrical charge which will then cause the water vapor to fall back to earth from its own weight in the form of rain or fog? Firing these lasers at clouds before they congregate into storms could in theory cause droughts to regions that are dependent on rainfall to provide moisture.

Did you know the US has had such technology since the 1960's? Do you think the US is the only country with this knowledge or technology? Can you think of any countries that would have malicious intentions towards the US that would like an inexpensive way to attack the US that was virtually untraceable?

Hold on, I need my tin foil hat. F**k, I used it to bake a potato, I'll get back to you.

lol I saw that coming a mile a way, check the comment I was writing to you while you wrote this one.

No one needs to sew those eyes shut, they're already closed.

nice!

And do you actually believe California would sacrafice lives, livelyhood, and environment for tax dollars, you really have found a shortcut to thinking.

I absolutely do believe California politicians would sacrifice people for dollars. Are you that naive to think otherwise? You know why wars are fought, don't you?

"I absolutely do believe California politicians would sacrifice people for dollars. Are you that naive to think otherwise?"

Like in Flint Michigan?

"Speaking of prison when are they gonna LOCK HER UP?"

Let's see, when does the senate get confirmed? It's coming soon.

LOCK *HER* UP! LOL

Like in Flint Michigan.

The deep state works in both political parties. Trump had an easier time taking over the Republicans because the most politically powerful deep state puppets were democrats and there wasn't a strong Republican candidate to contend with Trump for the presidential nomination.

You were probably too busy watching msnbc and cnn to see how much fire he came under by the Republican deep state puppets like the Bush's.

Republicans got lucky. Since Trump and the Military hijacked that party they all got to cut deals to keep themselves out of prison in exchange for 100% cooperation in their votes. Hopefully not all of them get off.

Speaking of prison when are they gonna LOCK HER UP?

LOL

Yeah, he said he talked to the Fins last week in France about the fires, Finland which is a forest nation, and he said "the Fins take care of their forest floors by raking and stuff" which is why they have less forest fires, to whit the Finish president today said, and I'm paraphrasing ,"what the f**k?". They do have a very different climate than Cali, and they are very scientific about their forest management. This while he was walking thru Cali yesterday talking to the press. His words, saw the video. We're talking millions of acres here. Shit you not.

Raking may not be the solution for California but activate management is, which is probably what the president was trying to allude to.

California decided that burning thousands of acres a year was bad for the environment. The Camp Fire has burned millions of acres in one year. It would have literally taken a hundred years for the controlled burns to do as much damage to the environment as the 2018 wildfires.

Thing is, it costs a lot of tax dollars to take care of the forest to prevent wildfires. The California government has figured out that not only can they save money by neglecting forest maintenance, but they can take in Billions of dollars of Federal Aid to pay off their civil servants annual salaries by allowing wildfires and crying out "help me" to the Federal Government.

President Trump should have the California governor executed fo his negligence and corruption. 70+ people burned to death because of this fire. Thousands more are unaccounted for.

Trumps ability to contain his true feelings about this situation show just how stable of a human being he is. Californians ought to assassinate their pos government officials for this.

Ok, you read your bullshit, I was raised and grew up in a forrest province, known loggers and millworkers and wardens and tree planters my whole life, no one person is to blame for something as catastrophic as that. Foest fires are good for the environment believe it or not as thats how pine cones etc germinate at high heat, part of mother natures irony. Control burns and forest management are important but with climate change, droughts, pine beetles and human f**k ups are factors in fire storms now. To lay blame on someone not only is ignorant but shows your lack of research and denial. Nobody is blaming trump for the fires but blaming him for his ignorance and denial and tone deaf tweets. Rake the forest floors, holy f**k, have you seen a forest? Walked thru one? I have. They're beautiful, amazing and full of life. Rake, f**k.

I know California's Governor isn't the sole person to blame, believe me. I could take it to the next level but you wouldn't be able to comprehend it and would tell me to grab my tin foil hat.

I think the Governor should be executed because he's a weak pos that sold out his state and its people. He could have stopped the legislation that made it possible for this million acre fire but he chose not to out of greed. He's the leader of the most populous and wealthy state in the US and he's been corrupted to his core.

He had the final say that led to 70 people burning to death, quite possibly the most painful way to die. He's incompetent at best but in truth corrupt and should be punished for the blood on his hands and made into an example of for future treasonous individuals that aim for government power solely for the purpose of making themselves rich and powerful.

By that rationale, your pos president should be executed for allowing the hundreds of deaths due to gun violence.

Dude, you're too stupid to talk to me. I bet you think Sayoc is a republican and the bombs were real. I bet you think the synagogue shooter was a republican. I bet you think the CIA isn't responsible for either of those.

I bet you don't even understand why mass shootings happen. I bet you don't understand why the past two years have had the largest wildfires in California's history.

There are actual Traitors in our government that sell the US and its people for personal profit. California's governor is one of them. Most deserve GITMO but due to the destructive nature of that guy's crimes he should be burned at the stake.

Don't think for a second that burping propaganda you watched on the msm flies with me. Give me one shred of evidence that Trump has committed treason. Go ahead. Show me. I'm waiting.

There's nothing, npc.

Except, now, Gov. Moon Beam said they are going to ease restrictions on timber cutting. So, ahh, in other words, forest management...
