    California Burns: Trump Blames... and fiddles like Nero
    Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
    Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;
    But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:

    go with the flow the river knows . . .

    Frank

    I do not know, therefore everything is in pencil.

      So Trump has visited the fire-ravaged town Paradise in California, whereupon...

      1. He got the name of the town he was in wrong, multiple times, calling it "Pleasure".
      2. He said that in Finland they don't have such fires because they rake the leaves on the forest floor. This has caused the Finnish President to deny that forests in Finland are raked, and people to post fake pictures of them raking/vacuuming leaves in Finnish forests to mock Trump.
      3. He lied that the President of Finland told him this is what they do in Finland. This has caused the Finnish President to say he never spoke to Trump about the subject.

      This is not the first time Trump has made a fool of himself visiting a disaster zone. In Puerto Rico he threw a bunch of supermarket paper towels at people and then bragged afterward about what amazing paper towels they were. In North Carolina he got obsessed with a boat that had come unmoored and then washed up on someone's lawn to the point where Stephen Colbert made a book mocking Trump for his comments:

      "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
      "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
      "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

        Blames falling leaves and denies that climate change is responsible. "Climate change is making conditions more favourable for wildfires in the American west. Of the 20 largest wildfires in California’s recorded history, 15 have occurred since 2000, at a time when forests have become drier and warmer".

          It is a myth that Nero fiddled while Rome burned just like your comparison is.

            Not only that, but potentially destructive fires are part of living in California like potentially destructive earthquakes are.
            "The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."
