As raging wildfires devour the lives, homes and dreams of Californians in an unprecedented scale, one voice has been conspicuously mute through day after day of crisis: President Trump.
This is not a man who is reticent to let Americans know what is foremost on his mind. He is also someone who should have learned by now — after devastating hurricanes and the Las Vegas massacre — that Americans expect their president to step forward with empathy and resolve in moments of national trauma.
Yet Trump has offered no more than a few perfunctory words about the Wine Country fires that have left at least 40 dead, consumed thousands of structures and stretched the physical and mental mettle of the dedicated firefighters and medical professionals to the edge of exhaustion.
So how can it be that the loss of 40 human beings on American soil did not merit a single tweet? The most forgiving interpretation would be that Trump, along with the cable networks that seem to attract his laser focus and have not made this a huge story, have a case of disaster fatigue. Perhaps the problem is that he hasn’t been blasted for his underwhelming response: There is no surer way to provoke him to his phone. The most cynical speculation would be that he could not care less about a state that despises him like no other.
Devastated California awaits your leadership, Mr. President. Tweet up, if you care.

Now they want him to tweet.
And only 30 days ago they were going to secede.
L
He's in Washington, D.C. Where's your communist POS Governor Moonbeam?
And only 30 days ago they were going to secede.
^^^^ THAT ^^^^
IF they were US citizens he might comment.
No one gives a shi...er...Obama about Mexifornia any more.
Suck it up and wait for the big one, buttwipes.
I thought californians wanted President Trump to jump off a cliff and also thought they wanted to secede. Also, they said they could go it alone. Am I missing something here???
Well where is the Governor? I am sure Trump has sent in all the Federal assistance he can. They have had fores in Cali before.
I believe that the SF Chronicle has already declared Mr Trump illegitimate as President based upon their various caveats about the 2016 election. So is this a bit of “what have you done for me lately?”
You insult him at every turn and you now want him to help you? Oh, the arrogance!
The Californians don’t want him anyway.
Send some B-52s with napalm.
I thought ya’ll hated him and you want to secede from the Union.
You say now you want his attention? Wait your turn. Besides every libtard out there is so brilliant that help is not needed, right?
“The most cynical speculation would be that he could not care less about a state that despises him like no other”.
Call me cynical! You folks seem to be happy with your ways and don’t give a hoot about following US laws. You love going it alone.
Why should LIEberal Californian’s care what President Trump says or not? According to them he’s not their president anyway. They want Ca to secede so take care of the disaster with their President Moonbeam in Sacto.
The SF Crapicle would be blasting PRESIDENT Trump for “playing politics” if he showed up to “empathize” in California. The commies at the Crapicle are evil and hateful maggots. We don’t elect presidents to go out and publicly “empathize” every time there is a disaster. Geez. Morons.
Perhaps a tweet like “I am deeply sorry for the victims of the government of California. Perhaps if they valued human life and property over the Kangaroo Rat’s habitat they’d let people go in and clean out deadwood like they used to.”
He is also someone who should have learned by now

Our esteemed governor- hizzoror gay ass Jerry Brown is busy signing new laws that would improperly imprison California residents for calling a tranny a dude and a dyke a girl
