Trees can explode actually 😅 Eucalyptus and Aspen trees are know to explode during bush fires.

They don't explode unbidden like you might assume given Trump's comment. He seems to do this a lot; he talks about something real, in a way that demonstrates he's garbage at communicating anything even remotely technical.

The real solutions is of course tending our forests to ensure there's not enough combustible material to cause dangerous fires. More resources for the forest service is essential. It makes me wonder if these gaffs are far more effective at directing our attention away from the substance of the problem with Trump

FYI there's a typo in your Wikipedia link.
