    “Just move your forests to the ocean…”

    I am seriously starting to think Trump has never seen a forested area in his life. What a fucking dumbass.

        That’s been a long running line of propaganda from the lumber industry. “old growth forests are messy and us lumber companies will clean them up!”

          Which is funny because if you’ve ever been to an area that’s recently been logged (or “thinned” as they like to spin it), the ground is completely covered by a thick layer of all the branches they’ve trimmed off. Nope, no fire hazard there…

      The guy who told us to inject disinfectant during the height of the pandemic is dumbass?

      Or the guy that rambles like an incoherent 4th grader winging an oral report in front of his class:

      “Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

      Yes. This guy is a fucking moron.

      Trees are just those things you clear out to make way for hotels and golf courses, they grow like weeds.
