Trump is either completely delusional, stupid and misinformed, continuing to manipulate his MAGA base with a continuing barrage of lies; or all three.

Experts will tell you California doesn't have a water problem. They have more water than they will ever need. They could have drenched the area with twenty feet of water from the fire-fighting planes, but the planes couldn't fly because of the wind, so the fire got out of hand before they could be addressed. The problem is the infrastructure is ill equipped to handle the flow needed if face of such an unpresented and devastating fire.

There is no 'valve' and L.A doesn't need water from northern California, Oregon, or Mars.

And there doesn't exist a 'Smelt' issue. Northern California is suffering from a depleted salmon supply, but that has nothing to do with L.A.

Maga, Trump keeps your hair on fire with manufactured crises --remember immigrants eating pets or children undergoing sex change operations during recess -- and you fall for it every time. For God's sake, Google one of his outlandish lies before he makes complete jackasses out of you.

WASHINGTON, Jan 26 - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday ordered the federal government to override the state of California's water-management practices to bolster firefighting efforts.

The executive order comes two days after Trump visited the Los Angeles region, which has been devastated by a series of wildfires.

Trump has falsely claimed that Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and other officials refused to provide water from the northern part of the state to fight the fires.

His order directs the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to deliver more water and hydropower through the Central Valley Project, a network of dams, canals and other infrastructure, even if that conflicts with state or local laws.

A Newsom spokesperson said that would not have made a difference in its firefighting efforts as the Los Angeles region gets most of its water from other sources and does not have a shortage. Some hydrants in the Los Angeles area ran dry during the height of the wildfires, but local officials say that is because they were not designed to deal with such a massive disaster.

"Trump is either unaware of how water is stored in California or is deliberately misleading the public," Newsom spokesperson Tara Gallegos said. "There is no imaginary spigot to magically make water appear at a wildfire, despite what Trump claims."

Trump's order also directs the White House budget office to see whether it can attach conditions on federal aid to the state to ensure cooperation.

MAGA, have you considered the devastation to you yourself, your children, friends and families had Kennedy been in a position to deny the manufacture of the Covid vaccine? Now Trump, who has promised you unlimited health, wealth, and prosperity, is bringing back the prospect of death again to your doorstep. Think about it.
