    Talk about governing by tantrum. This should get a quick rebuke from Republicans in Congress, but we will see if they grow a spine so quickly.

    On a side note, the tweet had to be rewritten because Trump doesn't even know how to spell forest.

    Good catch on the typo! Why give them more money to mismanage? Even California's own legislature recognizes that forest mismanagement is the tragedy's major cause.

    They banned cutting down dead trees and control burning to save a snail and an owl. Now they're all dead.

    Democrats = hands off the forest and let it burn.

    The left keeps telling us how rich and prosperous CA is, they even have money to spend on health insurance for illegals, so why do they need more? With all that money, maybe CA should focus on fixing the problems suffered by citizens who pay taxes rather than illegal who aren't. And it's too bad an $80 billion dollar bullet trains to no where that's 13 years behind schedule and which no one will use can't put out fires. CA chose where to spend their money and it wasn't on the people in danger of fires.

    Note: No article about CA would be complete without mentioning how they want to raise taxes and fees - this article didn't disappoint.

    I don't think it is unreasonable for the federal government to want to have some say in California's forest management practices, if we're going to be expected to foot the bill for their neglect of forest management.

    Next time Texas catches fire after they cut their forest fire-fighting budget 80% they can do without federal dollars and just piss on it till it goes out.

    It will be fun to watch.

    If Texas is still practicing responsible forest management, your comparison is invalid.

    YUP! So the federal government(TRUMP) thinks American citizens who lost everything in the fires, which THEY did NOT cause, should suffer....

    Gee, I thought he said ALL LIVES were precious.....guess he lied !!!!!! ( I am so not shocked)

    One consolation...maybe some of them are Trump supporters :) :) :) :)

    That is the democrats who don't want to maintain the forest.

    Gazis justify this kind of activity in their private circles as burning out the evil white people. Pg&e is a scapegoat they want to bankrupt and take over on the cheap.

    If CA used the FEMA funds for the wildfire victims, why are they still living in parking lots in tents?

    Answer: CA is not using the FEMA money to help the victims. They spent it elsewhere.

    And I am all for preserving wildlife. Why can't they check the dead tree for owls, snails, and squirrels before removing it?

    Your posts are always good for a chuckle. I guess these people did not realize that they lived near trees and decided not to buy fire insurance. Democrats have again shown that they cannot see the forest through the trees!

    The whole FEMA/Cali thing is ludicrous.

    Trump must've thought he was spelling his own name?

    Why is Trump killing Americans in California through negligence and incompetence ? You know, in the 57% of the forests in CA that are managed by the feds.

    Like federal workers, Trump thinks that since Californians are Democrats, that is doesn't matter if some Americans die

    I agree, they should respond in turn by ending all remittances to the federal government. I’m sure the red states would pick up the slack.

    That map looks similar to which states voted for trump.

    They know, they have been told this — shown evidence and governmental maps — but they are intellectually bankrupt so they will just keep lying because that’s all they have left.
