Trump Just Doesn't Care About Calfornia

On October 9, 2017, a wildfire spread throughout Northern California. The wildfire has led to the death of forty-two people with many more people missing. Up to 8,400 structures are gone in Northern California. But what was Donald Trump doing as the wildfire raged across Northern California? Well, one thing for sure, he's mind wasn't on the California wildfire. As the California wildfire occurred, Trump was busy celebrating the condition of the stock market and like always, talking bad about the media through the use of his twitter account. It wan't until Wednesday, that Trump decided to speak up about the wildfire. On his twitter account, Trump posted, "Our hearts are with all affected by the wildfires in California." So many days have passed since the start of the wildfire and this is when Trump decides to talk about the wildfire. Trump, as far as I can see, only posted something about the wildfire so that people won't look bad at him for not doing something about such a tragedy.

The students who were entangled in the event were escorts to the nurse immediately after it was bought to attention.
