Trump hasn't put out the LA fires yet? What is that 'incompetent pol' waiting for? Opinion [View all]

Rex Huppke, USA TODAY

Apparently Donald Trump knows how to put out the fires still raging in and around Los Angeles. But he won’t tell us, because he’s too busy calling California’s leaders “incompetent” and being almost uniquely useless.

In a Sunday social media post, the wildly unhelpful president-elect wrote:

“The fires are still raging in L.A. The incompetent pols have no idea how to put them out. Thousands of magnificent houses are gone, and many more will soon be lost. There is death all over the place. This is one of the worst catastrophes in the history of our Country. They just can’t put out the fires. What’s wrong with them?”

Yes, what is wrong with them? And why do they not know exactly how to contain and extinguish the unprecedented and deadly fires that Trump himself apparently knows exactly how to handle?

He'd huff and puff and blow it out.
