He's blaming it all on Joe Biden and the Democrats. The thing is, anyone with at least half a functioning brain knows that Democrats have been controlling all of our metropolitan cities for the past 50 years. In all of that time there has been no prolonged protests or rioting in ANY major city. The ONLY X factor in that equation is Trump. Every president from Ford to Obama had it under control. Trump has worked from day one to divide our country and it worked. Now he's trying to blame Democrats for the outcome of his efforts. That's typical of a pathological narcissist, but what's the excuse for all of the people who support his sociopathic behavior? Although they may not want to admit it, these people have unresolved mental health issues that need to be addressed. This PSA should be taken seriously.
Tough argument to defend- as mentioned by others-there have been plenty of riots since the Ford admin. Plus- the protests(and then riots) are protesting local police and authorities(who are mainly long-term democrats) not Trump. From my view- the press and the Democrats seem to sow more division with their focus on identity politics and on people's differences.

Forest fires are part of the natural life cycle of those forests-always have been. Human encroachment, limits on lumbering, poor forest management and too many communities trying to have Northeast/midwest lawns have led to a perfect storm. BTW- I have been to Switzerland where they rake the forests(a very Swiss thing to do!). The forests(and everything else) is so pristine it looks like a Model RR layout
