Trump offers Brazil help with Amazon fires

President Donald Trump offered Friday to help Brazil contain forest fires raging in the Amazon rain forest, putting him at odds with a key ally going into the weekend's G7 meeting.

"Just spoke with President @JairBolsonaro of Brazil. Our future Trade prospects are very exciting and our relationship is strong, perhaps stronger than ever before. I told him if the United States can help with the Amazon Rainforest fires, we stand by ready to assist!" Trump tweeted Friday evening. Bolsonaro retweeted Trump on Friday.

Bolsonaro — a right-wing populist who has repeatedly moved to undermine his country's environmental protections — has advocated reclaiming the Amazon to exploit its natural resources. He has blamed without evidence advocacy groups of starting the fires to soil his name. Macron said on Twitter that he wanted to discuss the fires during this weekend's G7 summit in France. Brazil is not a member of the exclusive group, and Bolsonaro said onOur house is burning. Literally. The Amazon rain forest - the lungs which produces 20% of our planet’s oxygen - is on fire. It is an international crisis.

Donald the Menace is such a thorn in the flesh to so many leaders the would rather cut off their nose to spite their face rather than accept much needed help from the USA. Unfortunate because the rainforest is important to the planet. We must elect someone with diplomacy in 2020.

Two Facists just yukking it up while the Rain Forest burns and 20% of the world's oxygen production is lost and the fires caused smoke that darkened the sky over cities and added to the pollution in the sky. Vote for God's sake, straight Democratic No exceptions!!

Finally but will he follow through given the urgency of this?

Rakes ordered from China are on the way!

Just like the help he gave to Puerto Rico...remember that help ?

Firefighter in chief ! He offered help when NotreDame was in flames. The problem is he starts many fires!

Doesn't Trump realize he's offering the arsonist help in putting out fires he lit in the first place?

Does he have enough pee pee?

The best thing would be if Trump stepped down, that would save the world

'Forest' fires?

R-A-K-E!!!!

Did Trump offer to help contain the California fires?

Yes, by cutting down every last tree in the rain forest, he’ll ensure that none of them catch fire ever again.

With a rake

Ha! Ha! But no thanks!

President Trump offers to help Brazil contain forest fires raging in the Amazon rain forest, by sending them rakes for the forest floor.

To bad he didn't seem to be able to handle one in his own country.

They don't want the fire contained. And he knows it.

With a rake?

Does realDonaldTrump actually know where the Amazon is located? I'm talking about the rain forest, not the shopping website.

Send Trump there with a rake

🇺🇸

He didnt just tell them to start sweeping?

Is he sending his cabinet to rake / sweep the forest floor?

Get those rakes ready!

Is he going to rake?

Is he going to send them a rake?

Oh Lordy, he’s gonna tell them about raking the forest, isn’t he?

Finally, something I approve of something Trump is doing. I won’t hold out hope that he isn’t going to somehow do something shady. Like, he wants to look good but after tries to quietly rescind the offer.

Is he going to send rakes?

History repeating itself again.

REALY WITH THE MEXICAN WALL!

lots of rakes will be required!

He offers to help Brazil with their fires but berates California when they have fires.

Did he offer rakes?

MAGA Moron

Did he offer rakes?

I want the fire out like nothing else (except maybe Trump impeached), but I would never want to be beholden to Trump

I don’t think that’s in the Brazilian trumpf plan

A la Puerto Rico style?

Rakes, or pour Greenland onto it.

God, please make this happen.

Is he going to send brooms to sweep the forest floor?

But hell w/Ca, this guy is a 🤡 Cult45

Oh is going to send people over there to rake the forests

Amusing

Arsonist offers to help the Amazon...

Trump will send Americans to rake the Amazon Rain Forest?

Nothing a few rakes wont fix....

Rakes

Nero fiddling.

But no help with water for Flint and Newark. Sad.

Is he bringing his rake?
