The president is trying to incite pogroms. He promises to protect those who participate.
On Truth Social, @realDonaldTrump writes:
“The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back.
You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us! President
DONALD J. TRUMP”

Wildfire isn’t erasing forests. We are. We’ve altered climate, fuels, vegetation, and fire regimes until fires push ecosystems across ecological thresholds. Forests become shrublands. Shrublands become annual grasslands. Diverse plant communities become near-monocultures.
