My God.. I had no idea it was this bad..

It's worse than bad.. Northern California fires have completely destroyed thousands of homes and
so many have yet to find places to begin their lives again.

The photos on the link below show devastating shots of the destroyed homes..
It's almost hard to believe, how terrible the situation still is..

Perhaps Donald Trump should take his fat ass on the road to visit the devastated areas, and hold a press conference
in order to give out some rakes to the survivors..

2. Trump went there after the fire. Stood next to Gavin Newsom, who is really6'3". Much shorter.

Going there won’t help anything, it’s just a photo op for him. Sending money would help but we all know what trump thinks is more important.

She kept trying to find her pup and was lucky to make the last caravan out. It is frightening how quick the fire came.

4. He came. He said truly weird things about it being our fault. He left.

He doesn't give a rat's ass and never will.

Also, in case you have not noticed yet, he loves to demonize California. We send the feds more money than we ever get back -- and we have poor and homeless and sick people too. Yet by Trump's own repeated tweets, he would strip us of all federal funding if he could -- and he keeps trying.
