Digs


Dan Johnson, BBC North America Correspondent

President Trump went to Paradise yesterday and saw the devastation there. BBC One's main late evening news bulletin reported his visit, and reporter Dan Johnson added the customary BBC digs at the U.S. leader:
The president has shown Paradise, like so many other places, that his words can be divisive and controversial before they are unifying and supportive... 
This is what the President saw. It's a scene that sticks with you, but he seems unshaken in his scepticism about climate change.  
He talked about wildfire protection, saying that other countries got it right. He talked about Finland. But what he didn't mention, of course, is that Finland is a fair few degrees cooler than California.
