Monday on “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg went on a tear against President Donald Trump for his for his comments about the California wildfires.
Trump said on his California visit over the weekend, “I was with the president of Finland and he said we’re a forest nation. He called it a forest nation. And they spend a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things and they don’t have any problem and when it is, it’s a very small problem.”
“The tweet put out by the guy in the White House kind of freaked me out,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said. “He was blaming California for poor forest management and threatening to stop federal payments if they don’t fix it.”
“Now, this is a man who doesn’t believe in global warming, so let me put it this way, there hasn’t been any rain for a very long — we’re in a drought in California,” she added. “That’s why things are dry, see, and if there’s a spark or an ember, they travel and stuff burns. So, you see, it’s not that people aren’t doing their jobs, they’re doing their jobs as best they can, and people have died and lost their homes, and you’re blaming them? You’re blaming forest — what, what, what? What?”
