Trump was right about “raking” Finnish forests
Whooowheeeee! Trump was finally right about something !! Mark your calendar! Wake the kids! Phone the neighbors! Open the champale."A broken clock is right twice a day." obsolete aphorism tenured before the digital age
"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

Let CA burn.
I don't see HM's posts, I'm afraid, but I haven't the slightest doubt that he is angling for a contract with the Finish Government to go round their forests with a dustpan and brush. If there is grass up there he may polish it too - and if the caribou haven't all died off from (of course non-existent) global warming, he can bury their crap too! Free enterprise will see the world right yet!

Why the people of Finland are trolling Trump by raking the ...
You gotta rake it till you make it. After President Donald Trump suggested Finland has few wildfires because the nation spends a lot of time “raking and cleaning” forest floors, many were ...

But confused or not, Finns took to social media — vacuum at hand — to prove their dedication to their newfound civic duty.
Under the hashtag #haravointi (“raking”), some Finns spent this weekend grabbing their gardening tools — with the more creative types picking up their vacuums and Roomba devices — and visiting the woods to document their public service.
Just this afternoon I was busy meeting my raking quota,” one tweet reads.
“Taking pride in a good day’s work maintaining the forest,” says another.
The Finns might not have been serious, but the US president seemed to be. During his visit to Northern California Saturday, Trump told reporters that America should follow the lead of Scandinavian nations like Finland, which “spend a lot of time” on forest preservation.
“I was with the President of Finland and he said, ... ‘we are a forest nation’ — he called it a forest nation,” Trump said. “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. So I know everybody’s looking at that to that end.”
Trump briefly met with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto on November 11, when they were both in Paris for Armistice Day events. After Trump made his remarks in California, Niinisto told Finnish media that he briefly chatted with the president about forest management — but needless to say, raking did not come up.
“We take care of our forests” is all Niinisto recalled telling Trump.
