President Trump COVID-19 response was awful but Biden/Harris would be worse on COVID-19 response and I just think his elegant one-liners on California today was just perfect.
The nation is not a position at this time to help them with this issue. They ignored President Trump as he begged them for years and told them how fix it and they did very little.
The American taxpayers and President Trump need to ignore California every single time that it asks for help.
They are the 5th largest economy so they have a fortune to pay for it all anyway. California claims they are nation-state so they should practice what they preach and pay for all their own problems.

What NONSENSE given that when Russia had wildfires in Siberia, Vlad's BFF Donny offered American aid, NO questions asked. I guess it should come as no surprise Trump would help Russia while telling Americans to pound sand, there's little doubt where his true loyalties lie, that would be his own interests and whatever it is Putin holds over his head and it was made evident there's something when they stood side by side in Helsinki.

That's silly. Trump and many of his fellow Republicans have lots of investment in California. They are not going to risk devaluing their nest eggs.
I've called it a year ago and I'm calling it now - Trump is not going to mess with CA. No matter how often he said he'd do it; in front of his clueless base.

He's right. Californians were forced to pay for a fire fee from 2013 to 2017. The state took in about $80 million a year from that fee. In 2017 it was suspended, and fire prevention programs now come from proceeds of a cap and trade program. That program brought in $600 million to $850 million per quarter, for the last three years.

How would Biden be worse on COVID-19 response? Please give an example of what Biden could do (not necessarily would do) that is worse than Trump's response?
I didn't know one-liners were an enviable trait in presidents. If so, I suppose Henny Youngman would have been the greatest president ever. Look him up, he was before my time. But, apparently he is considered "King of the One-Liners."

So it’s okay then if California stops sending money to DC and instead uses it for their own stuff?
Are the FEDs properly maintaining their land in CA? They own over 50% of the forests there, compared to the state of CA, which owns 4%. Perhaps the FEDs owe CA for cleaning up fires on their lands?

I agree he won’t mess with California, not too much anyway. As you point out lots of investment and California provides a lot of great things for the country. That being said, they need to pull their heads out of their asses. Trump is right that they have needed to take a different approach to managing forests for decades now. They have let the environmentalists dictate too much what happens. This is true not only with forests but with public and private projects as well. They need more balance in the state. And yes, they need to stop allowing illegals from other countries to roam freely. Lastly, Public construction projects need to stop using Chinese steel. Look at the debacle that happened with the Oakland bay bridge. I thought they were liberals and cared about American jobs? Of course they don’t.
