President Donald Trump stood near the charred cadaver of Paradise , California on Saturday ( he called it “ Pleasure ” ) and tell that Finland does n’t have problems with destructive wildfires because that land “ rakes”the forest . No one , include thepresident of Finland , had any mind what Trump was talking about . But the comment did trigger off a new internet craze , leading virtually the entire country to get outside and do their “ haravointi , ” which is Finnish for “ raking . ”
“ You make ta take care of the floors . You know the floors of the forest , very important , ” President Trump pronounce as others around him looked baffled . “ I was with the President of Finland [ … ] he called it a forest nation and they spend a lot of fourth dimension on glance over and clean house and doing things and they do n’t have any problem . ”

One video excuse that it ’s not Finland ’s cold and cockeyed climate that prevents wildfires , butthe raking . They even have entire schools devoted to raking , he joked .

And videos really show how the Finns prevent fires from receive out of hand :
Other country cause in on the act as well , with Germans lamenting the fact that their un - raked forestsare vulnerable , and Canadians bear witness how they graze the wood in the most futurist way possible — withtheir Roombas .

haravointiOh sanctify your hearts you cute little Finns . It ’s so quaint that you frolic among the gremlin while rake leaves . Here in Canada we have automatize with our forest Roomba . The money we save is going into construct a border wall . Guess which borderline we ’re surround off?pic.twitter.com / AvMltRT0x4

For the track record , these historic and withering fires in the United States are being made bad by climate change , not a lack of raking .

The long and the short circuit of it ? President Trump , no matter what you think of his policies , is only too dumb to be Chief Executive . He has no idea what he ’s talking about on almost any subject and just makes thing up as he goes along .
Previous presidents used to have their entire legacies set by a single gaffe . But we ’ll forget all about this run down nonsensicality by tomorrow because there will almost for sure be some novel , idea - numbingly idiotic comment that shows just how slow our chair can be .
It ’s a scarey time for America . But at least we can take comfort in the fact that President Trump ’s incompetency and lack of intellectual curiosity might in reality be making us safer . It ’s hard to share life-sustaining internal security secretswith foreign adversarieswhen youdon’t even readyour presidential daily legal brief .

What an idiot . What an downright idiot .
