The wildfires sweeping through Southern California over the past few days have been nothing short of devastating and profoundly tragic. Upwards of 31 people have died as a result and more than 230 people still remain missing. With entire neighborhoods destroyed, hundreds of thousands of Californians have been forced to evacuate and the photos and video footage we’ve seen of the wreckage thus far have been shocking and grim. The city of Paradise in particular was completely destroyed.
Amidst the tragedy and ongoing flames, which firefighters are still battling to keep under control, President Trump over the weekend fired off a tweet that many were quick to categorize as tasteless, callous, and completely misinformed. In case you missed it, Trump’s tweet curiously placed blame on the wildfires on a mismanagement of funds while also threatening to stop funding to certain agencies.
