Meyers: Trump Would Rather Lie About ‘Raking’ in Finland than Admit Climate Change Is Deadly

RUSH EXCERPT:

MEYERS: “Keeps happening. Trump makes up something insane about another country. And then the president of that country has to come out and say it’s not true. We’re like a week away from the president of Romania calling a press conference to say I did not tell President Trump that vampires are real. And again, just as the Germans laughed at us, and the Swedes made fun of us, the Finnish people are now mocking Trump’s comments on social media. Like this woman who tweeted just an ordinary day in the Finnish forest with a picture of herself vacuuming the ground outside. I mean, that’s — that’s pretty good. That’s very good. Can we see — can we see a real quick, the German reaction to that? There you go. They like it. Trump has to concoct fantastical lies like this because they reinforce his diluted worldview. And they’re easier to swallow than reality. And in this case, the reality is that man-made climate change is making these fires more frequent and extreme. But Trump would rather make up an insane fantasy about firefighters raking forest floors than admit that climate change is having deadly real-world consequences.”
