Donald Trump, Finland, and Forest Floor Raking Comments
President Trump faced widespread mockery for suggesting that California should manage its forests by "raking" the floors, citing a conversation with the President of Finland. While the comments were ridiculed online, the United States Logger Association and local experts noted that controlled burns and brush clearing were standard practices in the past. The hosts argue that Trump's comments were taken out of context and that California's mismanagement of forest fuel is a legitimate concern.
