1. People are losing their homes, their lives, running in fear from an inferno, and he cares about the "failed numbers"

I would love for some brave reporter to ask him what his plan for water and fire management is

it's not uncommon for fires not to be contained at all for days or even weeks depending on the location. Not that long ago, here in AZ we had a wildfire that was at 0% containment for around two months.

CNN will probably ignore his tweet and comment on how presidential he behaved today at the funeral.

11. Are you talking about the Wallow complex?

The Wallow was epic (and not in a good way). Lots of fuel, lots of wind, and very austere terrain make fighting these things terribly complex and manpower-intensive. Sadly the terrain is similar in CA and the winds are the driving force.

He won the election by making up shit and getting voters that "did their own research"

It's going to be 4 ugly years of this bullshit.

And Trump is trying to hamstring it

They want to neutralize Newsom before 2028 and what better opportunity than a natural disaster

California(which he hates bigly) burning right before he takes office is the luck of the Trump

10. He has a 'numbers' fixation.

He constantly talks 'numbers' because I think he believes it makes him sound knowledgeable--as though he gets it.

Not to mention his abject stupidity. And, the fact that his shit is contagious is beyond horrifying.
