As wildfires ravage southern California, President-elect Donald Trump has attacked Democratic officials, continuing a pattern of spreading misinformation amid disasters.


The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's history of spreading misinformation, particularly focusing on his reactions to various disasters and crises. It highlights how Trump has consistently downplayed or misrepresented facts during events like the 2017 Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, where he falsely claimed the death toll was much lower than reported, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he suggested unproven treatments like hydroxychloroquine and bleach injections. The piece also touches on his tendency to blame others or external factors for failures, such as his comments on the response to wildfires in California, attributing them to poor forest management rather than acknowledging climate change. This pattern of behavior has contributed to a broader narrative of Trump's presidency being marked by a significant amount of misinformation, which has had real-world consequences in terms of public health, safety, and trust in government.
