Rake news! Twitter TROLLS Trump with hundreds of memes after he claims California could avoid wildfires by 'raking forest floor like they do in Finland' (20 Pics)

Donald Trump is being mocked on Twitter after advising officials devastated by California wildfires to be like Finland and do ‘more raking and cleaning.' 

Trump made the remark about the fires that have left at least 79 people dead and more than 1,200 others missing, as he surveyed still smoldering remains in Northern California Saturday. 

The president cited purported comments from the president of Finland on how the Nordic nation deals with its forests: 'Other countries do it differently, it’s a whole different story.'

The president said they engage in 'raking and cleaning things and they don't have any problem'. 

But Twitter users, especially in Finland, were quick to disabuse him of the idea they spent their free time raking national forests in a flurry of memes under the hashtag #RakeNews a twist on his often-used defensive words 'fake news'.
