I read through the entire article and couldn't find a single quote that supports the provocative title. Can you identify the quote they are referring to where Evangelicals claim Trump will start the end of the world?

Well it is Newsweek. I thought it was a good article. And of course Trump isn't ringing in the end of days. Christians that believe that are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Glad to see you're not one of them.

The quotes seemed to be from reputable people and the journalist also appeared reputable. I am wondering if the editorial dept made the title, which if I was the journalist I would be very upset about since it makes her look like she works for the National Enquirer.

People are misunderstanding what Trump is saying when he says "there is no reason" for these wildfires in California. Ever since issuing the order that climate change is not to be referenced in government documents there is now "no reason" given in the briefings he is seeing for these wildfires.

But to pull funding from them (btw, lots of the forests are federal lands) is like pulling funding from the hurricane center for not stopping hurricanes.

The fires are human linked natural disasters -- dry conditions, winds, camp fires, electric failures ; just like climate change ... and these deadly hurricanes.

When a boat is sinking you try to pump water out, if that is not working, then you seal off the area that is flooding and hope that works. Trump is simply being transparent, we are moving from the "pumping water out" stage to the "sealing them off and cutting off payment" stage. All the while pretending that the ship is not sinking.
