I think this means he has seen a video of a dry Christmas tree burning. I have seen parrots that were more articulate.

I mean, I know trump is just an idiot repeating things he's been told or has heard somewhere on repeat but there is something credible to that idea.

It's the one downside in my opinion to protected areas and parks. No one is allowed to do anything in them that is seen as unnatural. I wouldn't suggest logging a park but selectively removing and cleaning up debris / dead trees should definitely be a thing.

They are a giant fire hazard.

A natural forest has regular fires to clear out the underbrush and dead debris. Parks never allow fires to occur and that dead debris builds up to a point that if a fire did happen, absolutely nothing would survive the heat whereas smaller more regular fires would allow for some of the older and stronger trees to survive and repopulate, depending on the forest ecosystem.

This is nonsense. Parks do prescribed burning all the damned time. That's the entire point of the USFS. They make sure fire clearings are all in the correct places and do their best to prevent large fires from breaking out.

Clearing out "debris" is an impossibility. Where would you put it? There's far, far too much land for that to be realistic. You'd need teams of millions of people and the logistics of such a thing would be insane.

Not only that but it would be an ecological disaster. All sorts of plants and animals rely on that debris to live. "The forest" isn't just the trees.

Can't have forest fires, if you have no forests. tapstemple.meme

As someone not from the US. Keep the memes coming. They're hilarious. And by that I mean I hope both Trump and Biden make it to the election just for the lulz 😂.
