Donald Trump is an incompetent person. He’s a dumb man. He’s a racist dumb incompetent man. While the wildfires in California continued to rage over the weekend, “President” Trump decided that the smart thing to do was not offer help, was not send some kind thoughts and prayers. No, the best course of action was to spew out more of his idiotic vitriol.
The obvious ignorance of everything in this tweet is astounding. So astounding that CNN decided that they would allow meteorologist Tom Sater to use his weather green screen to both hand hold and admonish the white supremacist in chief. Asked about this response by the Pasadena Fire Department, to Trump’s dumb claims, Sater showed pictures of the fire and explained a few things.
Sater: Okay, you know I enjoy being in the weather department because it's neutral, you know—with the exception of climate change issues—but you know staying out of the political arena; but this is wrong on so many levels there, right. This has nothing to do with forest management. I mean look, we're not looking at dense forest here—especially down in Malibu. But forest management has nothing to do with mountain winds coming down the passes at 70 miles per hour, or humidity levels—in one hour—dropping Thursday, from 35% down into the single digits drier than most deserts. But again, if you think about it, to say remedy now or will take your funds, he's already taken some of their funds. But I read a tweet that followed that makes good sense. It said it's like taking funds from the National Hurricane Center until you stop all these hurricanes! I mean it's the same notion but more importantly people died in their homes.
Sater goes on to lay out the devastation and the remarkable work being done by first responders and fire fighters to try and contain the natural disaster.
