Only Three Months Ago Trump Blasted Calif. for its Dangerous Forest and Water Policies
Once again, we see that Donald Trump was right about a danger that Americans face, this time it was the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
It turns out, that just three months ago, Trump was warning America that California was living on borrowed time where it concerns wildfires. Trump issued his warning during an appearance on the Joe Rogan show.
“Los Angeles, you can’t get proper amounts of water and it’s unbelievably expensive, and you might have a house in Beverly Hills, and they’re actually thinking about rationing water. Can you believe it?” Trump told Rogan.
Rogan replied that he would believe it because he used to live there.
TRUMP: I was, I was in the farm country with some of the congressmen. We’re driving up a highway and I say, “How come all this land is so barren?” It’s farmland and it looked terrible. It was just brown and bad. I said, “But there’s always that little corner that’s so green and beautiful.” They said, “We have no water.” I said, “Do you have a drought?” “No, we don’t have a drought.” I said, “Why don’t you have no water?” Because the water isn’t allowed to flow down. It’s got a natural flow from Canada all the way up north of water, more water than they could ever use. And in order to protect a tiny little fish, the water up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of water gets poured…
TRUMP: You could have all of the water you need, all of that land would have more water. The whole thing could be like that little patch. Literally, literally I’d say—I was with Devin Nunes, a congressman and other congressmen, we were going up. I was visiting them because they asked me to go up and visit their territory and I did. But I kept saying, “Look at this land. It’s beautiful, but it’s so dry.” And I thought they were going through like a desert like a drought. They said, “No, we have water, but it gets—” So I looked into it.
ROGAN: What is the fish?
TRUMP: And I got it done. I got it done. I could have water for all of that land, water for your forests. you know, Your forests are dry as a bone, okay?
ROGAN: Yeah. Dangerous.
TRUMP: That water could be routed. you know, You could have everything. Not only dangerous, billions of dollars a year they spend on forest fires. And you know, there’s a case with the environment. They’re not allowed to rake their forests because you’re not allowed to touch it. When a tree falls down, after 18 months it becomes very dry. It’s like you know, real firewood. It’s bad.
Trump has been warning about this for a long time.
And once again he was right.
Worse, this mess has been left to Trump as he once again enters the White House. He took to his Truth Social account to blast California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way. He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn’t work!), but didn’t care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid. I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this. On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!” Trump posted.
