Trump spouts water fiction and blames immigrants for the fires [1]

I'm trying really hard not to get upset at what Trump says and does. I don't want him to be controlling me. I don't want to give him a platform for his bigotry and stupidity. But I feel the need to report at times.
Trump repeats the insane claim that there are millions of gallons of water ready to go flowing into Southern California from Northern California, if only Newsom would turn on the spigot. It's winter, Donald, snow doesn't melt that fast. Let's do some calculation. Millions of gallons a day for 8 years? Where would they put it? There also has to be the means to get the water onto the fire. All caps really doesn't help get your message across.
Trump is predictable in his stupidity. Once was not enough. Maybe he thinks his people can't read the first one. His followers could be that illiterate. So far, nobody's asked him from where the water is to be released. I've just been assuming he's talking about the melting snow pack. He also seems to have left the all caps lock on for 8 hours. At least he said Newsom instead of Newscum.
It's this last one that got me really upset. It's not a repost. But I don't think Donald created it. But he certainly agrees with it.
Now the scapegoating starts. It's an immigrant that started the fires. And the logic goes downhill from there. Illegal immigrants are the cause of all our ills. Not just one or two, but all of them. That's called scapegoating. It's how Hitler got rid of the Jews. You're no better than Hitler, Donald. If you can't see it, then you know nothing of history. But we already knew that. You just make up history as you go along. Alternative history as well as alternative facts.
Get a grip, Donald. We expect a President to act like one. You obviously haven't learned from all the ones you've criticized.
If you keep up with this, the snubbing you got at Jimmy Carter's funeral is just the start. Lower your flags at Mar-a-Lago, for God's sake. Raise them up on your inauguration, if you must. But at least follow Mike Johnson and lower them out of respect the next day. I don't expect anything from Greg Abbott.
In the meantime, if you haven't got something nice to say, don't say it at all. Act like the President you're pretending to be.
