The Founding Fathers clearly never predicted that a sociopathic mega clown, born on third base, with the IQ of a dead squirrel, would hijack the country. And the world. Epic irresponsibility is the order of the day for the Banana-Republican-in-Chief. Unfortunately, the world has its limits as to how much rank stupidity can be accommodated. Having spent all of 2017 inflating the bubble, Donny has spent all of 2018 imploding it. I give him an A+ on the Kamikaze scale:
Fiscally suicidal tax cut, deregulated corruption, delusional trade war, now add forest management to Trump's list of stupid fucking ideas. Over the weekend he was "helping" California deal with unprecedented wildfires by threatening to withdraw Federal funding. One more source of plundering for his offshore bank accounts. There is literally no limit to how fucking stupid this guy is.
"At least 25 people have been killed in the most destructive blazes in California history."
Speaking of poor forest management. Trump is an expert on the topic:
"America's soybean farmers are hanging onto their crops in an attempt to wait out President Trump's trade war with China, more than doubling U.S. soybean inventories"
Unlike corn, soybeans don't store well, so farmers are risking their livelihoods for an economic detente that isn't guaranteed."
Hanging on to excess inventory into a weakening global economy, on the bet that prices will eventually increase. What could go wrong?

As I write:
"Conserving oil is no longer an economic imperative for the U.S., the Trump administration declares in a major new policy statement"
"Now THIS is proper forest management"
