President Donald Trump went off the rails when asked about California wildfires during his first full day in office. He claims city officials are diverting "limitless" water to the ocean through a "massive valve."
Don’t worry. I hear Trump is transferring funds to unimportant things like the Center for Disease Control and WIC in order to start his new Federal Forest Raking Program.
Alright, then how about you go rake the leaves of the national forest and parks behind my house? You got this. Should be pretty easy from what you’re saying.
What do you get out of this? Are you some kind of abused dog that accepts negative attention likes its positive attention because it’s never received positive attention? Go to therapy, please, for yourself if no one else.
Citing a conversation with his Finnish counterpart, Mr Trump said they spend “a lot of time on raking and cleaning”.
But President Sauli Niinisto told a Finnish daily he could not remember talking about raking when the two met.
Firefighters in California are currently battling the deadliest blaze in the state’s history.
Surveying the damage on Saturday, Mr Trump revisited his claim that poor forest management was to blame.
“You look at other countries where they do it differently, and it’s a whole different story,” he said.
“I was with the president of Finland, and he said: ‘We have a much different [sic]…, we’re a forest nation.’ And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem,” he added.
It’s not President Trump’s fault that LA sucks at raking their leaves.
Don’t worry. I hear Trump is transferring funds to unimportant things like the Center for Disease Control and WIC in order to start his new Federal Forest Raking Program.
This is satire, right?
Yes, it’s just not that good of a satire.
You’re just mad you didn’t get it. Sad!

The OP was hilarity, and then the idiots responding made me laugh out loud. Bravo.
So many people can’t sense sarcasm.

Parent commenter left off the /s.
You’re like the only one that understood. Oh well lmao
I got it… 🤷♂️
Whenever you omit a /s you take a risk.
Especially given Lemmy’s substantial nuerodivergent population clear markers of sarcasm are always a good idea.
He’s alluding to a previous comment during Trump’s first term during earlier California wildfires about how Finland raked their forests.
