"At the moment, President Donald Trump is attempting to manage the revelation that he intentionally downplayed the COVID-19 pandemic, which has now killed upward of 191,000 Americans. That effort has apparently left little room on his mental plate for the dozens of fires currently ravaging California, Oregon, and Washington."

"While the president signed a disaster declaration for California back in August, he has yet to do so for Oregon, which is in the throes of a catastrophe. The last time he dispatched a tweet about wildfires was on August 6."

"Concentrating on an environmental crisis in the West isn’t politically expedient for a president preoccupied with reelection and little else. “The Electoral College allows—indeed, encourages—Trump to ignore California’s wildfire crisis because he knows he cannot win the state,” he wrote. “He doesn’t even pretend to govern the entire country, just red states and swing states. Those suffering in blue states mean nothing to him.”

Trump loves to tweet on the slightest of events happening in Portland, but here we have a natural disaster hitting the State of Oregon and crickets. The last time he reacted, in August, he blamed California for their own difficulties

I thought President's represented all Americans, that they were expected to address catastrophes when they effected Americans no matter where they occurred, at the very least show some degree of empathy.

You can bet your ass if it was an equivalent hurricane hitting Florida or a rash of tornadoes striking Iowa, Trump would be all over it tossing out paper towels and touring with Melania in her high heels

There are several different fires, the biggest stemming from fireworks at a gender revelation party, however, if you are implying the they don't pick up their forest argument Trump has bought into, it is irrelevant, point being that Trump has pretty much ignored what is a catastrophe and one would have to guess because it doesn't benefit him politically

California and Oregon is a blue states. Rest assured they have been in constant contact with the WH about handouts, even before the fires broke out.

It is THE argument.

CA forest management is a recipe for these fires. Happens every year about this time.

Well in the right wing blogsphere it is certainly a Democrat, Quanon has already been caught spreading stories on line that Antifa is starting the fires (https://www.kctv5.com/news/us_world...cle_745d8297-133a-5a64-a644-e71d00c8c267.html), which means pretty soon they will start appearing here as fact

Irrelevant, "rest assured" doesn't explain why Trump hasn't even mention a syllable regarding a major catastrophe effecting a large segment of America in nearly a month, as I said, you can bet your ass if it was an equivalent hurricane hitting Florida or a rash of tornadoes striking Iowa, Trump would be all over it tossing out paper towels and touring with Melania in her high heels

If true, close to a month later when he blamed them for their own catastrophe, not even tweet in the meantime, and Biden has expressed empathy on social media and in tweets, and he didn't blame anyone, imagine that

And by the way, the personal stuff only makes you look like a loser, remember, it is an anonymous vehicle you are posting on

Yeah, we got it, they are suppose to go into the forest every year and rake in between the trees

And it has happened every year, but not at the escalating level that it has in the last decade, this year being the worse, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is a reason why all the overgrowth is so dry and easy kindle for sperading fires
