Trump told reporters Saturday while visiting the ruins of the Northern California town where a fire killed at least 76 people that wildfires weren’t a problem in Finland because crews “spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things” to clear forest floors.
Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said in an interview published Sunday in the Ilta-Sanomat newspaper that he spoke briefly with Trump about forest management on Nov. 11, when they both were in Paris for Armistice Day events.
Niinisto said their conversation focused on the California wildfires and the surveillance system Finland uses to monitor forests for fires. He remembered telling Trump “We take care of our forests,” but couldn’t recall raking coming up.
The U.S. leader’s comment generated amusement on social media in Finland, which manages its vast forests with scientific seriousness.
Forests cover over 70 percent of Finland’s 338,000 square kilometers. The Nordic country with a population of 5.5 million is home to some of the world’s biggest paper and pulp companies.
Trump has this little monkey
that sits on his shoulder and he’s ALWAYS whispering in Trump’s ears.
The monkey’s name is Stephen Miller.
Somebody did and I would love to know who for sure. hahahahahahaha They give him something like that like it was a sucker he can worry with and suck on and chew over so he at least has something.
I think it’s hilarious that other world leaders feel compelled to contradict him when he drags them into one of his delusions.
Few people can remember things like Donald does…thank god!
Well , Mr Professional Dickhead IS a liar .
Anybody else shocked by this revelation? I thought not.
