We’ve been lacking personnel. Take that up with who’s paid to hire them, get work done. As usual, this could stink from the head on down. Much should’ve been done that wasn’t. You can’t clear it all. He’s so way off on this one. CAsenators CAReps where are you?
Nothing adds up in the highest poverty level of any other state. This is a state where humans can poop on the street.
Just call it what it is. Trump is a liar, he lies about everything. There is no forest anywhere near Malibu, Westlake or Thousand Oaks to cut down and forestry in the Sierra Nevada do controlled burns and clear trees every year to thwart fires.
Synergy3k I’m betting they do.
Zohreen You doing ok?
'Erroneous claims'?! Call them what they are...LIES! Stop protecting the P.O.S.P.O.T.U.S. POSPOTUS
There was a fire in Trump Tower. It must be mismanaged by the owner.
Those of us who live here know better . We have seen measure after measure ignored or vilified as unimportant by an elite far more interested in increasing funding for pet projects. Excoriated by screaming environmentalists as interfering with nature. WE KNOW.
mostly brush in the very steep mountains
Why on earth won’t you just call them LIES
He hit his Peter Principle some time ago. He knows NOTHING about science - or anything useful really.
Cuz he was making something up to sound like he knew what he was talking about and to give media something else to FactCheck to keep them busy and off the MuellerIsComing talks!
“Lies”
As many previous occasions, the president having another brain fart moment.
Fing... tree huggers
Joe_Schmucc You can tell by the replies who actually lives in California.
Trump is fake news. He's clueless and dishonest.
Only brain dead rat pellet libs believe your propaganda. In your article you state...”Forest thinning would not have stopped the Camp or the Tubbs. Fueled by dry grass growing amid scattered pine and oak trees....” So “dry grass” doesn’t burn?! Yeah, right! CaliforniaWildfires
trump spews about fakenews while he rants faketruth. What a dolt
Trump behaves like a villain. Part of me wonders if he saying crazy things like this because he's jealous of the media attention given to the wildfires? He's that petty. No matter his reasons he's the most horrible leader of our country in my lifetime! CaliforniaWildfires
It’s really just ignorant blathering. Trump can’t offer insight or compassion to CA fire victims cuz state voted 2-1 Hillary in 2016, and he can’t get over it
'The liar lies again' is a much better headline
What does add up is that Brown vetoed a bill that would have mitigated a lot of the problem in 2016 because his sister set on the energy board.
please use the correct terms: don’t write “erroneous claims” when the correct term is “lies”. He’s a tremendous liar. TweetBetter
Too bad LATimes did not learn basic arithmetic until after BarackObama left office, because none of that corrupt, incompetent, anti Semitic, tool’s actions added up.
Ite the damn eco freaks in cali not trimming back the undergrowth and having proper forest management. Thats the cause.
You mean his uninformed lies?
Of course they don't. Trump was making it up and lying just like usual.
loveandsnuggles when does anything he says or does add up
🎶 tell me erroneous claims, tell me sweet little erroneous claims 🎶
Yes we know, global warming. Makes you wonder why all of the alarmists want to live on a coastline that al gore says should be under water. 🤔 btw whatever happened to the ice age and ozone we were all supposed to die from by now?
For those of us that live here in California know this already.
If the LA Times prints it! It is dubious at best! CA restrictions on Brush Control, on thinning of trees, on clearing forest floors cause fires to spread. Rules on Forest Management, in general, are controlled by radical environmentalist with no knowledge the their real hazards!
LA Times no longer adds up --- it's gone from low class to no class -- it used to be a pleasure and an honor to read it.
JUST SAY HE FUCKING LIES. DEAR COPY EDITOR, I WILL DO YOUR JOB: 'THIS TIME, DONALD TRUMP IS LYING ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA FIRES'
Can you credit the photog of this image? It is wonderful and that person deserves credit (and probably an award).
Spin it any way u want but the reports locally of lax control where it should be better have been consistent for years. CA has decided other initiatives were more important.
'Forest thinning would not have stopped the Camp or the Tubbs. Fueled by dry grass growing amid scattered pine and oak trees, the Camp tore across land thinned by flames just 10 years ago. The Tubbs burned grassy oak woodlands, not timber land.' Land mngmt includes grasslands!
Let's not pretend he is making sense?
Trump is the most uninformed, incurious president in history, another subject he knows nothing about. His animus to California is cast in cement. lnstead of offering help and support he spreads more disinformation.
Trump doesn't know...he doesn't know anything..he just says stuff, winging it all the way.
Latimes dnc incorporated
As many as 90 percent of wildland fires in the United States are caused by people, according to the U.S. Department of Interior. Some human-caused fires result from campfires left unattended, the burning of debris, negligently discarded cigarettes and intentional acts of arson.
Nothing he says adds up. We’d all be better of ignoring his driveling.
Zohreen Why they start human. Theres already 3 in jail for the latest ones and I hope more.
true, but we're a blue state, aren't we?
But our budget surplus
He’s an ass
They are lies. Call them what they are.
Do they ever add up?
They never do!!!
Says who?
