Is this before or after we rake the forests?

Acyn @Acyn 5h
Trump: We can actually dampen our forests with water that costs us nothing that will come pouring down. If you had dampened floors, you wouldn’t have forest fires




Jesse Ferguson @JesseFFerguson 4h
Trump has official gone from 'Rake the Forests' to 'Dampen the Floors' as his solution to extreme heat from climate change.

rain, I think they call it. We don't get any of it here as a rule between April and November, and that's if we're not in a drought year. So, Donnie - what do we use to dampen the forests?

...Presidential Rain Act.

It does that for you if you're a star.

Are orders of magnitude worse than ANYTHING President Biden has exhibited.

Yet somehow Biden's age (just 3 years older than Trump) are deemed a bigger risk on the Oval Office?

the biggest problem with Biden's age is she's black.

So don't rake. Never rake.
Indeed, if you just let forests be forests it will rain a lot more on forests.
The best and cheapest co2 collection is done in unraked forests.

One would think the stable genius would not have to be told any of that. It's as if he's a clown.

when is the last time tfg visited a park, walked a dirt path, a beach, a streamside or experienced any other natural setting?

Have his gouty toes ever felt sand or grass or anything other than shoes and socks?

Has he ever caught the wild scent of spruce or pine or a new-mown meadow after a fresh rain?

Have his ungloved fingers ever got so cold they hurt or he sweat from actual exertion rather than arrhythmia?

I'm going out on a limb here and gonna say nope and never — nothing other than viewing an external world from the inside of a car, plane, a building, a golf cart on a comfortable day and always surrounded by his yes-men, keen to jump at every bark.

that is also FREE? Like rain? Has Donnie Dumbshit figured out how to control rain?

WTF is he talking about? This idea sounds as smart as injecting bleach into the body to cure Covid. Just how stupid do you have to be to support this moron?
