Thank you for your comments regarding the President's tweet regarding our CA wildfires. As the wife of a firefighter, Mr. Trump's comments not only demean our heroes, but the families of firefighters as well. He forgets they have families that are at home waiting for their return

If YOU are talking on MSNBC, what YOU have to say DOESN'T matter.

So was Gov. BROWN BLAMING GLOBAL WARMING! IT THE FAULT OF DUMB ENVIRONMENTALIST SAVING BUGS & IDIOT POLITICIANS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO CLEAR BRUSH & FIRE HAZARDS!

Stupidity is always in fashion in CALIFORNIA!

I have woods behind my home populated by an old stand of oaks and hickory! I remove brush, dead limbs and debris! I murder carpenter 🐜 that attack my trees! If 🔥 came, it would cause minor damage & not hurt my 🌲 ! But, I am a conservative and not stupid like Libtards!

Trump once again makes a statement about something he has no clue about. Maybe Trump has a magic wand to make it rain in CA and to stop the Santa Ana winds.

'Ill Timed', do you mean that if he had said this at a later stage it would have been OK. This was not ill timed it was absolutely disgusting and came from a sick man with a sick mind. Stick him on the front line with a hose, Oh can't do that he has bone spurs, what an a'hole

Liar Liar Jerry Browns Pants are on Fire JerryBrownGov BREAKING:GOV BROWN SET CALIFORNIA ON FIRE 🔥 GOV BROWN SETS FIRE TO CALIFORNIA Gov. Brown vetoes Moorlach's wildfire-risk bill realDonaldTrump kimguilfoyle DonaldJTrumpJr

They're also ill timed, because Trump hasn't a clue about what he's talking about, as usual.

realDonaldTrump people are dying

Damn this country of wealth and technology that can not help anyone in need.

Unbelievable that he spends millions on so called ‘border security’ and sending 7.000 troops instead of sending 7.000 troops to CA to help the firefighters and folks. It’s time for reflection people!!

No problem, we understand completely. Apparently he thinks a wall will stop 50mph winds.

AudreyGarden As per usual Trump says the wrong thing at the wrong time. If you have 0 knowledge concerning what you want to say don’t say anything!!

summer7570 Wouldn't any time be 'ill timed' to say such bullshıt?

I hope our firefighters receive all the support that’s necessary. We pray for the safety of those impacted by this mass disaster.

Southern California is a natural desert that gets very little annual rainfall. If not for the importation of water very few people could survive. There's too many people in the state. It's noones fault. trump is making useless trouble and blaming heroes out of ignorance!

Nothing to see here folks. Move along. Just another Trump hater.

Trump is just a broken mind... Broken for 60 or more years. Everyone has seen it and after some effort could see that there was no helping this person. He has festered in our society for decades. An open wound...

Lets get to Truth, Truth of H. many fires in California are created, orchestrations by secret societies, as judgement based on actions of homo sapiens to date. California has mismanaged fiction, played on wrong side (LEFT) not RIGHT. SecretService realDonaldTrump HGOHD bbc

Trump is correct

Bless all those lives lost & those fighting to save & protect all in CA. CA is dry & Santa Ana winds are fierce making these fires unpredictable destructive & deadly. T ignores loss of life to push his heartless mostly incorrect forest fire theories. Sad yet predictable from T.

Will somebody pursue what Trump did during all of his down-time in Paris? Something is wrong with him, viz. his non-appearance at Arlington today - of all days.

Fuck ups that cost lives are never well timed.

CHUMP..........

Abhorrent

Piss poor fire mismanagement by moon beam

Ill-timed and completely removed from anything we might consider reality.

It was predictable.....the loss of life. It was preventable, but due to improper forest management, it got past the point of no return in CA. There is many other areas in the country that can learn from this lesson. example: You how dead the Mountain Forests are in Colorado?

Sorry he's inconsiderate

Twenty nine people in one small town GONE. The town is gone. The indifference of this pig in our White House, will kill us all.

Firefighters, climate scientist, slam Trump for 'shameful' and 'ill-informed' wildfire tweet'The president’s message attacking California and threatening to withhold aid to the victims of the cataclysmic fires is Ill-informed, ill-timed and demeaning to those who are suffering as well as the men and women on the front lines.' The very ppl who get paid to put out wildfires (firefighters) & the climate scientist is a hack. It’s like asking a fisherman to give an opinion on fishing, or banker on banking. 🙄 How about find ppl ‘neutral’ with no financial benefit (or explicit bias) to offer an opinion? LeslieMarshall I like opinions from subject matter experts.

Trump draws ire from firefighters, celebrities for tweet about California firesCalifornia firefighters' union leader said President Trump owes the communities and first responders an apology for blaming the state's deadly wildfires on 'poor' forest management. get over it Cut the brush and climate change won't incinerate homes and people. Just a thought. I guess he should also claim Hurricanes in Florida that cause home and business damage are caused by carelessly building practices in land that should never be built upon. these areas required huge investment of taxpayer dollars no more including Trump hotels.

President Trump's tweet on California wildfires angers firefighters, celebritiesCNN News, delivered. Select from our newsletters below and enter your email to subscribe. A visual example of our President in his campaign slogan 'America First' ~~ He doesn't care because California will never vote for him. Yeah, but, why didn’t you clear your Fire roads years ago when the idea was supported? Why didn’t you manage your forests and clear out the dead wood back then? It’s a little thing called woodland management....

After bashing California fire management days ago, Trump calls firefighters and FEMA 'amazing''The California Fire Fighters, FEMA and First Responders are amazing and very brave.' Early onset Alzheimer’s...wouldn’t be surprised if we have a “Weekend at Bernie’s” type situation in the Whitehouse! CORRECTION: 'FOREST' management, not 'FIRE' management. Many years ago, when California banned many of the types of logging, deforestation, and forestry management techniques, this is what you get. FEMA is not at the fires. The displaced people from these fires are fending for themselves.
