Democrats, with their friends at KING 5, are setting the stage to blame Donald Trump for Washington wildfires. They hope you don’t realize that it’s Democrats in Olympia that will be to blame for a difficult Washington wildfire season.

As soon as the wildfire season rolls around, you can practically set your watch by the left-wing media’s desperate attempt to find a way to blame anyone but the actual people in charge. And this time, their target is, of course, President Donald Trump. KING 5, always ready to carry water for their friends in Olympia, just ran a piece practically setting the table for the blame game.

Their new boogeyman is the Trump administration’s layoffs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service. The layoffs supposedly making our wildfire season “more challenging,” though they don’t offer any specific challenges faced in Washington yet.

“For the last two years, we have seen concerning snowpack across the state. In 2023, that was driven by the hot May we saw that impacted the water supply in the state,” Caroline Mellor, Statewide Drought Lead with the Washington Department of Ecology, told KING 5.
