President Trump Says Finland 'Rakes' Its Forests As Routines For Wildfire Management | TIME

Trump was talking about this on Joe Rogan. We should be doing this in California

[mrbump]

Rakes! Of course! Thank god we have this genius for a president. Make America Rake Again!

[wtt]

That man to the right in all black looks like WTF is he talking about? Lol 😂😂😂

[t.m.]

WTF is he talking about!! Oh god please make it stop!!

[trevortrevortsr]

Has he any idea how small the population of Finland is and how huge their forests are?

[smandin]

That lady was nodding her head like she believes his BS. 2 guys were like WTF?! Lol

[d.rabbitwhite]

No Idea of what FOREST is.
I remember that I honestly thought George W was the lowest the states could go.
Really surprised he is still fouling the position

[palexanderrice]

wait, you mean that a socialistic societies has money for people to “rake” their forest. imagine what our states could do if the government didn’t cut funding from national parks

[lazyskull]

Do you know how fucking long that would take to rake all the forests across California? I mean, on average how long does it take for people to rake their backyard? An hour or more? Now try an entire state.

[dcoughla]

Invite President Alexander Stubb of Finland to the White House, President Trump. I’m sure you’d get on well. He would be a useful ally in helping to end the Russia/Ukraine war.

[Mark-mlnv]

Some people who think that is a good idea. Calculate the area of either Finland or California forest and work out how many millions of years it will take to rake the forest. OMG.

[weatherpunk]

I am laughing as I heard this. How are the people standing next to him able to hold a straight face

[josephdale]

He who laughs last, has the last laugh.

[Leonlove]

Trump finland didnt say that finland president didnt say rake forest floors empty

[WormsHere]

Trump is doing his usual gibberish speech. Most people who hear him almost always say “WTF did he say?”. Fact is, nobody really knows what he says.

[nonchalanthippo]

I don't really like Trump but he is right on this. We need to clean up the forest floor again. It's literally a fire starter. Especially for the idiots that keep starting them.

[newhope]

Can you say, Fire Break? I knew you could.

[riikkapitkanen]

This was many years ago. Finland, as many comedy shows in America reacted immediately. Oh yeah, let's rake America great again...
Has he got wiser since then? Well, let's Georgia tell us about that. 2020 begging them to find "some votes", 2024 mocking their governor for not to manage to bring enough public to his weird shool gym performance...😎

[reg]

Finland’s latitude is that of Alaska, not California. Night and Day. Literally. Not worth comparing.

[riikkapitkanen]

Why don't we let the old timer rake his private golf course green in Florida. It is obvious that he is at the end of his law-braking twisted "career".
