Trump last weighed in on the devastating fires in California in the middle of August, when another round of blazes was burning north of the Bay Area. "I said, you gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests -- there are many, many years of leaves and broken trees and they're like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up." Since then, federal fire management grants have been made available to affected states, but Trump himself hasn't weighed in on the more recent fires, which have spread to Washington and Oregon. He sent several tweets and retweets on Thursday morning but none about the fires. More than 2.5 million acres have burned in California, a historic figure.
