3. Trump is a dumbass who surrounds himself with dumbasses.

At one point, Zinke told the outlet it's "not time for finger-pointing" -- right before he pointed fingers at "radical environmentalists."

4. No more forest fires. But we all get respiratory illnesses that kill many of us.

Those dumbasses see trees as problems. I see trees as life preservers.

The Orange menace doesn't understand that some places that were involved in the fires were fields with just grasses and bushes.

7. Someone I know says they should be eliminated.

He's a hard-core Libertarian I've knocks heads with for years. He actually believes - and said - that forests "should all be paved over and privately owned." I suspect that's pretty close to the corporate GOP's wet dream, too, if they thought they could get away with it.
