Trump on the California Wildfires

Due to the recent wildfires that struck California, many residents were forced to quickly evacuate and find shelter under overwhelming circumstances. Many houses were burnt down and people lost almost everything. While it is not clear what started the fires, we do know it was a result of forest fires; which can easily spread and ignite in the matter of minutes. In response to these tragic fires, Donald Trump had some interesting thoughts which he took to twitter to express. He tweeted "There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. 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!" After that one, he also tweeted "With proper Forest Management, we can stop the devastation constantly going on in California. Get Smart!" Trump believes these forest fires are a result of employees not doing their job and mismanagement. He received lots of backlash, even from celebrity's such as Katy Perry.
