Has President Trump, who has made more untrue statements than any president in modern history, been caught making another one? The leader of Finland says yes.

President Sauli Niinistö of Finland told Ilta-Sanomat, the country’s second-largest newspaper, that he’d ever told Trump that the small Nordic nation relies upon “raking” its forests to prevent wildfires — even though Trump promoted the dubious conservation method during a visit to flame-ravaged California yesterday.

“You look at other countries where they do it differently, and it’s a whole different story,” Trump said Saturday, standing alongside Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom of California among the charred ruins of the Skyway Villa Mobile Home and RV Park in the town of Paradise.

“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,” Trump continued. “And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don’t have any problem. And when it is, it’s a very small problem. So I know everybody’s looking at that to that end. And it’s going to work out, it’s going to work out well.”

Niinistö said that he never discussed raking with Trump during their brief meeting in Paris last weekend, where the leaders attended various commemorations marking the centennial of the armistice that ended World War I.

“I mentioned to him that Finland is a land covered by forests and we also have a good monitoring system and network,” Niinistö said.

Finns have been posting pictures of themselves online raking local forests, joking about “raking America great again”.

I’m in Finland now. I came to rake the forests. The Fins are the best but their “floors” r so leafy. But thank God the universities are free, producing a country full of educated rakers, many with raking doctorates. Proud to be in a country so rake conscious. https://t.co/vkaps9pzKB

shoutout to the delightful, simple people of Finland, out raking their forests today, as is the way of their land

I perhaps wouldn't compare Finland and California climate-wise…
And besides, 80% of the country is classified as forest land. We don't exactly manicure all of it. https://t.co/fthi7FUw0N

"I grew up in Finland.

a) it rains all year round.

b) we have a lengthy and cold winter.

c) Finland is a sparsely populated country with just over 5mil ppl, with land size ~3/4 of CA and most of it forests and lakes.

d) no friggin body is raking the forests." @mallahadley pic.twitter.com/1c3nApN4W0

I lived in Finland. It is brutal. Right after finishing shoveling the forests, it is already raking season. That's why they drink! https://t.co/6audtaDz02

The Camp Fire in Northern California, the deadliest and most devastating wildfire in the state’s history, has resulted in at least 76 deaths and nearly 1,300 people missing.

The fire, which is 55 percent contained, has destroyed nearly 10,000 homes and set ablaze 233 square miles.

While in California, Trump was reluctant to blame the effects of rising global temperatures for a series of increasingly devastating wildfires.

Asked by reporters whether his visit to the fire zone had altered his opinions on climate change, Trump replied: “No. No. I have a strong opinion: I want great climate. We’re going to have that, and we’re going to have forests that are very safe.”
