Trump Thinks US Wildfires Started As Trees ‘Just Explode’ & People Are Trying to Find Logic


US President Donald Trump often says things that confuse people and make them wonder if he really knows nothing or just pretends to be kinda dumb this way. His recent comment proved that he has no idea how forest fires work.

In a new, illogical and unscientific claim, he said that ‘trees just explode’. When he was asked questions related to the US wildfires as to how they started, his reply shocked people across the globe.

He further supported his argument by saying that wildfires are caused by poor forest maintenance which makes them more combustible. He said, "There has to be strong forest management. With regard to the forests, when trees fall down after a short period of time, about 18 months, they become very dry. They become really like a match stick.  They just explode."

Forest fires across California, Oregon, and Washington burnt over five million acres this year and forced thousands of people to leave their homes.

The towns have been completely ruined by infernos and have pumped out noxious fumes that have polluted the air for days blocking the Sun and making it extremely difficult to breathe.

Trump said, "It will start getting cooler. You just watch.”

Wade Crowfoot, the head of the California Natural Resources Agency replied saying, “I wish science agreed with you.”

“I don't think science knows, actually," Trump said.

"We may be experiencing an irreversible ecological tipping point ... #heatwaves and fires like what we are seeing in #California, #Oregon & #Washington will continue to worsen as long as humanity continues to burn fossil fuels." https://t.co/sRJLAMOisi #ClimateChange #USWildfires
