Trump is a jackass, but jumping on him talking about exploding trees when that actually happens is also being a jackass.

Well, eucalyptus trees can explode due in a wildfire due to the oil in them, which is part of the problem in California, but it's a pretty non-specific statement to say "trees explode."
They could also put a concentrated effort on getting rid of the eucalyptus trees or removing the brush from large portions of land, instead of just clearing a path of everything.
