Trump on Calif. Wildfires: ‘Everyone Has Seen the Light and I Don’t Think We Will Have This Again to This Extent’

RUSH EXCERPT:

REPORTER: "Is there any way to prevent this from happening again, Mr. President?"
TRUMP: "We have been talking about that on the ride over. I think we’re all on the same path. We have to do management, maintenance, and we will be working also with environmental groups. I think everyone has seen the light and I don’t think we will have this again to this extent. We’ll have to work quickly, but a lot of people are very much — there has been a lot of study going on in the last little while and I will say I think you’re going to have, hopefully, this will be the last of these, because this was a really, really bad one. Earn I know Gavin is committed, we’re all committed, to getting all of this cleaned out. We have to take care of the floors of the forest, it is very important. In our countries they do it definitely and it is a different story. I was with the president of Finland, and he said we’re 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 is very small. So I know everybody is looking at that. To that end, and it will work out, it will work out well. Right now we want to take care of the people so badly hurting. The families where they have lost — a lot of people have been lost, I guess we don’t know what the final number is? We won’t knee for awhile. There is areas we can’t even get to yet. But we have incredible people doing the job. So we will get that better than anybody else could do it. And we want to thank you all for coming and being here and showing because I think supreme to see this to understand it. And Mr. Congressman, Kevin, and everybody, you have two of our great members of Congress. Whatever is necessary. I want to thank you very much, Brock, thank you very much, we’ll get it taken care of, thank you. Do you anything to say, Gavin?"
