The death toll continues to rise in California. Seventy-one people are now confirmed dead, more than a thousand remain unaccounted for.  While hosting Donald Trump today in Paradise, Governor Jerry Brown said this is “the worst tragedy California has ever faced.”

As Trump toured the Skyway Villa Mobile Home and RV Park his comments caused controversy. Just as he did in the days after the fire began, he again blamed forest management:

“I’m committed to make sure that we get all of this cleaned out and protected. You know have to take care of the floors, you know the floors of the forest. It’s very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently and it’s a whole different story.  I was with the President of Finland and he said… we are a forest nation. He called it a forest nation and they spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things and they don’t have any problem. And when it is it’s a very small problem. So I know everyone is looking to that end and it’s going to work out well.”

Those comments sparked the hashtag #RakeAmericaGreatAgain.

It also looks like the fires haven’t changed Trump’s mind on climate change.
