Donald Trump has truly lost his mind about California water... [1]

There has to be a reservation for Trump in a mental institution somewhere. He only supercedes his cruelty and ignorance with his insanity.
He found a way to break his stupidity record. He reposted it an hour later, just in case anybody missed it the first time. I don't even know where to begin.
During the California wildfires, Trump kept talking about there being a faucet that Gavin Newsom could turn on and the wonderful water from Northern California would flow to Southern California.
He says he's sent military personnel into California. The only thing I can find on the military today is that Trump banned transgenders from the armed services. I'll just have to check in the morning.
So, now it is Tuesday morning, and main stream media are wondering what the hell he's talking about.
Newsweek didn't get a comment from the White House outside of business hours and Newsom's office referred them to a statement from the California Dept. of Water Resources denying Trump's claims:
"The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. Water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful."
The post came a day after Trump issued an executive order directing a half dozen federal agencies...to figure out how to deliver more water to Southern California and the Central Valley.
Trump didn't turn on the Federal water pumps, they were going to do that anyway.
He had to send the "military" to turn on the spigot. If Gavin could have done it, why didn't you just send one guy? I'm sure it would have cost a lot less, and you do want to cut down on government spending.
The problem is that Trump doesn't understand how weather or nature works.
He doesn't know that snow doesn't melt in the winter, but he can fix that by using "Emergency Powers."
If you were a military commander and somebody told you to open a non-existent fire hydrant, you'd be calling for the men dressed in white. Totally bonkers.
The military has "TURNED ON THE WATER." When do we get an explanation? Well, the California Dept. of Water Resources came up with the only possibility.
"Pacific Northwest." Must be that mountain water thing again. Send in troops with flamethrowers to melt it?
"...and beyond." Sounds like Buzz Lightyear.
"Fake Environment argument." Saw that one coming. Trump does not believe climate change is a real thing. It's a scam to redistribute wealth. Ripping off law-abiding citizens. Those day's are "OVER." Aren't you supposed to say "get over it," like each time there's a mass shooting?
"Enjoy the water, California!!!" That's the Donald we know and don't love. Three explanation marks. He always does one or three. Never two.
When we ever find out what water you're talking about, maybe we will enjoy it. In the meantime, here's the picture I didn't want to use as the main.
