California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amount of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire spreading!

More complete bullshit from the Commander In Chief..............in the midst of a tragedy which has thus far taken 9 lives and left thousands homeless.
I don't know if his idiotic tweets about the California fires are a result of total apathy and ignorance on the subject matter, or because he's too blindly competitive to process simple facts and basic concepts at an elementary level, or because he just doesn't mind lying about changing climate spurring the increase in number and voracity of wildfires because he thinks it will score him political points.
Whichever the case, that official statement would be pathetic and low from any elected representative, much less from the President of the United States who swore to represent all the citizens of this country, not just those in his base..
Anyway, tree clearing has been done for ages, fresh water isn't being diverted into the Pacific, and there is plenty of water to fight fires -- that's not the problem.
