President Trump tried to explain to reporters how poor forest management can lead to wildfires.
Said Trump: “When trees fall down after a short period of time — about 18 months — they become very dry. They become really like a matchstick.”
He added: “They just explode. They can explode. Also leaves. When you have years of leaves, dried leaves on the ground, it just sets it up. It’s really a fuel for a fire. So they have to do something about it.”
