The Golden State has suffered greatly over the last couple of weeks. First came the deadly dance club shooting in Thousand Oaks, and right on the heels of that massacre the devastating wildfires broke out and quickly became the worst in California history. Now, as firefighters are finally beginning to get the upper hand, there are more that sixty known dead and nearly six hundred still missing. Thousands and homes and businesses are gone, burned to their foundations, as well as thousands and thousands of acres of forest.
The state and its citizens have suffered a prolonged catastrophe of biblical proportions. They need basics like water, food, clothing, medicine, and shelter. What they don't need is another onslaught of hot air. Yet according to a press release from the White House this morning, that is exactly what they are in for. Donald Trump and his entourage will jet into California tomorrow to survey the fire damage and distribute appropriate blame.
Trump made news when he blamed the fires - almost on day one - on poor forest management. He threatened to withhold funds from the state unless it began better land management practices - with presumably more logging and things that would benefit the timber industry. Now, to make sure that he has been heard on the subject, Trump will fly into California and deliver his dressing down of the state in person.
Assuming he can find someone to listen to his remarks. If Trump does come up with an audience, he may even throw out some paper towels along with his juvenile insults.
Then, with luck, he'll find someplace to play a round of golf before boarding Air Force One for a grueling cross-county flight back to the Swamp - where he will crawl back into bed, declare himself to be on "executive" time, and begin tweeting insults with wild abandon.
At that point California can finally begin the process of cleaning up.
