Have there been expressions of sadness? Of empathy? Has he offered a full federal response to assist the states that are battling these fires?<\/p>\n<p>If he has, then it got past me.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, I know the states of Oregon, Washington and California all are governed by <em>Democrats<\/em>. Donald Trump once referred to Washington Gov. Jay Inslee as a &#8220;snake&#8221; back when Washington was ground zero of the growing coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>He chastised California officials for allegedly failing to enact sound fire-management strategies when that state erupted a year ago from wildfires.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and let&#8217;s not forget the invective Trump has hurled at Oregon Gov. Kate Brown over the Black Lives Matter protests in Portland that have turned violent.<\/p>\n<p>So now the states are on fire. Flames have incinerated entire neighborhoods in the southern Oregon town of Phoenix. Firefighters are pushed to the limits of their endurance throughout California.<\/p>\n<p>Where is the president of the United States? Hello, Mr. President?
