Most of that is federal land. Of course, California should have known better than to let Trump manage those forests.

He’s never been in a forest, but only because of all those goddamn trees in the way.

“Trees” are those things that his golf ball bounces off of.

[This is what he probably thinks a forest looks like.](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fs.hdnux.com%2Fphotos%2F01%2F10%2F14%2F03%2F18923725%2F3%2FrawImage.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sfgate.com%2Fliving-in-sf%2Farticle%2FPulgas-Water-Temple-Hetch-Hetchy-water-Crystal-14992239.php&tbnid=4SM2DD_mR--uJM&vet=12ahUKEwicp6TGg-7rAhV_AjQIHUhGC7AQMygHegUIARCgAQ..i&docid=4vxXaQ48ixUxvM&w=2048&h=1367&q=image%20sunol%20water%20temple&safe=active&ved=2ahUKEwicp6TGg-7rAhV_AjQIHUhGC7AQMygHegUIARCgAQ)

He said that the head of a forest nation said that California is not doing forest management properly. Of course, he couldn’t name that leader. It’s probably Putin.

And he’s also ignoring that the majority of the forest management is performed by the federal government, not by CA, because most of those resources are federal property.

Trump, the Education President. The same one who ran a scam university, paid someone to take his SATs and put an anti-education person in charge of the Dept. of Education.

Well, duh, if you teach children not to be racists, where does the next generation of Republicans come from, huh? This is just part of that 17-dimensional chess that Trump plays.

Paraphrasing from _1984_:

"“He gazed up at the enormous face and tiny hands. Four years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the straw-colored hairpiece. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two Diet Coke-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”
