“1st thought: These fires are absolutely tragic. God bless all. 2nd thought: Wow. If Chelsea Handler is tweeting about her hatred of POTUS during this critical time, she’s sicker than I thought. Sad.”
“Chelsea Handler now says that Trump caused the California wildfires. Well he must be one powerful wizard if he can summon cat 5 hurricanes and cause massive wildfires…To have both fire and wind stats maxed out shows he must be at a really high level!” one Twitter user wrote.

“Even in times of tragedy and loss, Chelsea Handler has time to continue her anti-Trump agenda. Beyond pathetic,” another person tweeted.
“Sweetie just think for a sec, what does a fire has to do with the president of the USA?” another social media wrote.
