Donald Trump’s latest arch nemesis, CNN reporter Jim Acosta, retweeted an article on Sunday that is sure to enrage the president. No matter how many times Trump is caught in a lie, he never learns and his supporters just don’t seem to care.

On Saturday, Trump claimed that:
‘You’ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important. You look at other countries where they do it differently and it’s a whole different story…I was with the president of Finland and he said, ”We have a much different – we’re a forest nation.” He called it a forest nation, and they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things. And they don’t have any problem.’
In the article that Acosta retweeted from a Finnish news source, President Niinistö is quoted as saying:
‘I mentioned [to] him that Finland is a land covered by forests and we also have a good monitoring system and network, Niinistö we take care of our forests.’
Unlike Trump, the Finnish president understands that the human effect on climate change is important to prevent catastrophes like the fires in California, noting that they “produce black carbon” and “Finland is aiming to be at the forefront of cutting back on black carbon emissions.”
As for Trump, when asked if he had changed his mind about climate change being a “hoax,” he ridiculously replied that he did not because he has “a strong opinion, I want great climate.”
Twitter mocked Trump for his lies. Read some of their comments below:
