Trump was RIGHT! California will spend $500 MILLION this year to Thin its 33 million acres of forests to lessen the chance of wildfires - after former president was laughed at in 2018 for suggesting raking the woodland floor

California is adopting former Donald Trump's plan to thin out the state's 33 million acres of forests with controlled burns and raking the woodland floor - after state officials essentially laughed off the former president's idea a few years ago.

Trump had suggested in 2018 that the Golden State start sweeping its forest floors of debris that often aids in the spread of wildfires.

But by Aug. 2020, at the peak of the state's wildfire season, his suggestion became an ultimatum when he withheld wildfire financial aid on the basis of California's failure to clear its forests of dead trees, branches and leaves, Politico reported at the time.

Now, California is putting Trump's plan into practice statewide as groups of 12-person crews set about a $500 million effort to thin the state's forests with controlled burns and sweeping the forest floors of pines, redwoods and firs, according to a recent Bloomberg report.

'I see again the forest fires are starting,' Trump said at the 2020 rally in Pennsylvania. 'They’re starting again in California. I said, you gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests — there are many, many years of leaves and broken trees and they’re like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up (in flames).'

'Maybe we’re just going to have to make them pay for it because they don’t listen to us,' he added at the time.

"Cleaning the floors" as Trump suggested is not the same as thinning a forest. You're reaching. Shockingly.


Also you really use this site for your news? How do you deal with all the pop-ups and multiple ads. Horrible.

I will say this. Environmentalists have caused more damage with wildfires because they keep filing lawsuits to keep controlled burns and selective cutting.

And a special thank you to Bill Clinton for making "protected wilderness" areas where they end up being a tinder box just waiting on a match.

We were confronted by some while trying to do some clearing in AZ. I believe it was less than a year later there were fires threatening a bunch of homes. Of course so many people acted confused how that could ever happen

Colorado 20 years ago (when they weren't so stupid) was the same way.

TDS Alert

Can someone clue me in on exactly what qualifies for TDS?
Is it when someone can't stop posting about things Trump said and did and is still hanging on to his time in office, or just when anyone disagrees with him even occasionally?

Trump Derangement Syndrome

Originally it was coined by Dr. Charles Krauthammer to describe the insanity towards George Bush as Bush Derangement Syndrome. It's a condition that we often see from the left.
LOL. Act like Obama Derangement Syndrome isn't real.

Conservatives believe that liberals have good intentions but are misguided. Liberals believe that conservatives are outright evil. Prove me wrong.

This guy was right about so many things. He had the ability to think 2 steps ahead. That is real transformational leadership. But the buffoonery that was the Obama administration vexed the left into a Bolshevik Revolution style ideology.

I guess the forest will thin itself as large forest fires continue ravaging it.

Liberals have good intentions but they can never see their mistakes, they believe adding money to it will fix the problem.

Or that good intentions can somehow magically overcome stupid ideas.
Churchill has a great saying
“If you are 20 and aren’t a liberal, you have no heart. If you are 40 and not a conservative, you have no brain”
