US President Donald Trump gives Fox News a strange interview.
There he speaks of "forest cities" in Europe.
In an interview with Fox News, US President Donald Trump * spoke about the forest fires in the country.
He made a strange comparison with Europe and especially with Austria.
There was then a lot of ridicule about the statements of the American president.
Washington
- US President
Donald Trump
likes to look for creative excuses and comparisons when it comes to problems in his own country.
One of his biggest problems at the moment is likely to be the massive
forest fires
on the American
west coast
, which were primarily triggered by dry storms.
When there were fires two years ago, he advised the forest authorities
to look
to
Finland
.
They would better "rake and rake" there and thus
keep the
risk of
forest fires
low.
He received a lot of ridicule for this statement.
One might think now that he would have learned from the mistake then.
But far from it.
Again a comparison with
Europe is
stimulating
especially the network community for creative posts about him.
In an interview, Donald Trump makes a strange comparison with Europe and Austria
A few days ago, Trump - who already attracted attention as an actor * before his time as president, was invited to a telephone interview on
Fox News
.
One of the topics was the devastating
forest fires
in the
USA
.
At some point he started saying that
Europe was
a great role model
when it came
to fighting
forest fires
.
Because people would live there in
“forest cities”
.
Austria in
particular
took
Trump
out of it.
"They live in the forest there," he continued.
And there are also many more "explosive trees" there than in the
USA
.
Above all, the people of
Europe
would
"thin out the fuel".
He means among other things the leaves on the ground but also fallen
trees
.
If they were left for more than 18 months, they would burn like "matches".
"They get rid of the stuff," says
Trump
at the end of the strange interview.
Trump says people in countries like Austria "live in the forest" and have "forest cities."
He says in these areas they "have more explosive trees" than California, but don't have the same kind of fire problems.
He says this is because they "thin the fuel."

In Austria people laugh at Trump's statements about "exploding trees"
Users and newspapers make fun of the
dangerous
"exploding trees"
in the Alpine country in
particular
.
The
Kronen Zeitung publishes
an interview with Vienna's second mayor Birgit Hebein, who
talks
about newly planted
trees
in the
city area
.
At the end she adds: “Don't worry, they won't explode!” There are also numerous ironic comments on the green threat on the Internet.
One user wrote on
: “Yes, explosive trees have traumatized me all my life.
You never know when it'll crash next.
And last week someone came and said he had patented a groundbreaking invention.
He called it "wheel".
I'm scared. ”

Trump is not only concerned about the forest fires.
A story-telling book recently came out with interesting details about his marriage.
In the book by journalist Bob Woodward, he writes about a strange relationship between Trump and North Korea's ruler Kim Jong Un.
Trump also wanted to make himself a weekly guest on a TV talk show on Fox News, but the presenter rudely rejected him.
The corona numbers in Austria are currently increasing enormously.
Chancellor Kurz has now tightened the corona measures in Austria.
