“I’ve been telling them this now for three years, but they don’t want to listen,” Trump said. “ ’The environment, the environment,’ but they have massive fires again.”
Trump has criticized the Golden State for its wildfires in the past. In November 2018, Trump blamed the state for its “gross mismanagement of the forests” and threatened to pull back on federal aid.
“There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor,” Trump tweeted. “Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!”
Of the 33 million acres of forest in California, 57 percent is managed by the federal government, 40 percent by private landowners, including families, and three percent by the state, according to the University of California’s Forest Research and Outreach center"
The state manages a whopping 3% of the forest.
