Shooting, Fires and 45’s Responses

This past week we had another mass shooting and two huge wildfires in California.  And of course 45 said some more insensitive (to put it mildly) remarks about soldiers with PTSD and about how California is responsible for the wildfire damage.    California Professional Firefighters have refuted his claim: “nearly 60 percent of California forests are under federal management, and another one-third under private control. It is the federal government that has chosen to divert resources away from forest management, not California.” (You can see their full statement here: http://www.cpf.org/go/cpf/news-and-events/news/cpf-president-brian-rice-responds-to-president-attack-on-ca-fire-response/)

One of my friends said she liked Trump’s honesty during his campaign.  When I mentioned that he had no diplomacy and I worried about how that would go over with other World Leaders, she said she didn’t care about diplomacy.  But this goes beyond diplomacy.  He lacks compassion and the ability to unify this country.  I pray that we can find a way to unify without him.
