If Obama or Bush tweeted this as president, would they get criticized?
That was a rhetorical question. Thank you.

On a broader note, it seems like Trump is more feisty and unhinged lately. Maybe it's because Dems beat that ass in the House, maybe it's because Whitaker is getting hugely criticized. Who knows.
but he's right?
I mean its pretty obvious the problem in California is extraordinary land mismanagement. They have far too much bureaucracy preventing controlled burns or brush removal. You can't throw a stick in the air in California- because you're not allowed to. And the fire fighting teams are sitting on their asses because of wage disputes, budget cuts, red tape, etc- and the shortage of manpower means that fighting active fires gets prioritized over doing more controlled burns, which means more wildfires in the future. And then there's the total lack of firebreaks.
The science hysteria crowd would point to minor increases in temperature or precipitation pattern changes that will indeed mean slightly increased chances of wildfires and then try to apply that future global warming to today's crisis brought on by forests being chock full of fuel.
