Californians wonder why Trump isnt tweeting about the fatal wildfires

Source: MSN/Washington Post

“Where’s the president?” asks the editorial board of the San Fransisco Chronicle, as California burns.

Well, it knows where President Trump literally is: the White House usually, if not one of his resorts.

The newspaper board means where is he on Twitter — or as the board says, “How many times has Trump tweeted about the fires since they were whipped by winds into life-threatening force early Monday: zero.”

Zero, true, as of early Sunday evening. As the Chronicle notes, Trump did speak once, offline, about the fires. A few days ago, he promised to “stand with” Californians and said he’s in touch with the governor — and then welcomed the Pittsburgh Penguins to the White House and turned to other matters.

All, every, any registurd republiturd hates progressives and liberals. California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington all are blue states. Trump is a republiturd. He says, let them burn.

he doesn't give a shit, about them fires in California, of about Puerto Rico, Virgin Island--------------he is a total fascist narcissistic asshole, ...............so he doesn't think about the 45 deaths by fire, or the 5,000 structures destroyed or the 100,000 in the northern part of state of California, nope he goes and does this....................golfing with his buddy Graham on the back nine having a drink, partying on fucking over 22 million on health care................care, he doesn't care, he doesn't even know how to spell C. A. R. E.

And then to top off another day of his bullshit he continues his attack on the first amendment:

California doesn't count and neither does Puerto Rico. They don't support him and that's all that count's for the narcissist.

rather than having to deal with their problems. Trump is all about himself. When he finally goes down, he will be kicking and screaming all the way, because than It will be about him.

can make the wildfires about him. That's why we need to have a "We Love Trump" museum in every state. That way, it's something that can be threatened by natural disasters, and the rest of the public might get saved, even accidentally while Trump saves what he truly loves: Something that glorifies him.

Please do my state a favor and do NOT come here. You will only poison our blue soil/ashes with your insults. You will only come here to kill more Americans by aiming at Blue Voters' heads when you throw fire extinguishers at us. You will only come to sell more of your cheaply made $40 MAGA hats while your trophy wife has to stay inside your limo for fear of the smoky air ruining her eye make up. Please stay as far away as possibly. You will only add more hot air and suck the remaining oxygen out of our breathing space. In other words....FUCK OFF!

As is often pointed out, we are the world's 6th largest economy - and Jerry Brown, DiFi, Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom can take care of us very well without your big orange butt hogging attention and doing nothing.

You need us a helluva lot than we need you, so go away and cheat on your golf courses.

And that's why California doesn't get any help from Trumpy, who feels quite comfortable with making his perceived enemies suffer and die.
