Trump's California Dreamin' [1]

California's Central Valley farmers are angry at Donald Trump because he's caused enough water to be released from reservoirs to flood their fields. They didn't need it now. They'll need it in the summer.

Of course, Donald might just think that the water is going to Southern California. That's probably the problem. He still thinks he can do something about the fires, when it was never just about the water.

So, once again he had to pat himself on the back for creating a new problem.

"The water is flowing in California." Yes, we know that, Donald. That's how they take showers and water the plants. Oh, you think it's new water do you?

"halfpipes." They're called canals. Like the one you're trying to take over in Panama, although two different purposes are served.

This time he does know the water is going to the Central Valley farmers, who are going to get flooded and lose their crops. But he still thinks that this water is going to get to Los Angeles, too. It's not. There's no connection at all.

Okay, he's a stupid as I thought he was. "Too bad they didn't do this during my first term --- there would have been no fires!" He still has this sense that he is a water god. He still thinks he can have an effect on the fires. This water is simply not going to Los Angeles.

He thanks the military. The military that California said never arrived. Then he thanks the Army Corps of Engineers. Aren't they the military, too?

"SPEED in getting this emergency DONE!" Sounds like you were creating an emergency, not fixing one. Shouldn't it be like, emergency ended? Emergency solved?

Trump definitely has got water on the brain. Could be that RFK Jr. has passed on that brain worm to him. RFK Jr. never said that he actually got rid of it. Trump and he have been so close together, it could have happened. It certainly could explain a number of things.

I hope he's done talking about the damn California water. What I'd like to hear him talking about now is sending in FEMA and massive aid grants. That's what California needs, not his silly water games.
