(Reuters) - With a tweet blaming California's wildfires on "gross mismanagement of the forests," President Donald Trump dismissed the role of climate change in the worsening blazes across the U.S. West - generating widespread derision in the Golden State.
Viewed on the surface as the latest shot by Republican Trump at a Democratic state that has repeatedly pushed against his administration's policies, the tweet nevertheless shone a spotlight on California's overgrown forests and their role in devastating fires.
