Sir could you narrow it down a little?
Wut?
Wtf is that even supposed to mean? Is there a giant faucet in Redding or somewhere that a couple of majors “turned on” to send all the water here to LA County?
No, so what’s he babbling about?
Also it’s not a Fake Environmental argument that the Pacific Northwest west of the Cascades gets more rain than LA County, it’s just reality. LA is in a desert; western Washington and Oregon are not in a desert.
So far I’m still getting water from the tap so I guess he hasn’t sent it all to Malibu yet.
That man must be the best tragicomedy show, ever!
The CA Water Resources Board says different.
Too bad there aren’t agencies and such to consult about what’s actually happening, but instead we have to listen to Donnie’s fourth grade speculations.
Of course he’s turning the water on with the implicit understanding that he can turn it off again. If California fails to be sufficiently compliant and grateful, he will withhold it like some vengeful, orange god.
Trump could well go down in history as the last of the Mediaeval Aristotelian alchemists, for whom there were four elements making up everything: earth, fire, air and water, and whose greatest quest was for a way to turn base metal (eg lead) into gold.
Which is another way of saying that no decision he makes can possibly have any adverse consequences, putting him a mere one small step away from saying that the Law of Conservation of Matter-Energy is fake news.
Thus, he arguably elevates himself to the status of the only other entity with the ability to create something out of nothing, namely God Almighty. Himself. And all by himself; or should that be Himself?
I think it possible he thinks the recent success in fighting those fires has something to his presidency, when it really has more to do with the dogged efforts of firefighters doing exactly what they were doing before, and some helpful rain.
…Wait. Another possibility is that he is taking credit for the rain.
Mad King Donald, Vengeful Orange God.
You just know that he really wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Trump. He’s going to try to find some way of installing gold-coloured letters visible from space, spelling his name.
I’m reading that Google is going to rename the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” for US users of Google Maps. I presume that everywhere else it will remain Gulf of Mexico?
Is that real, or is it The Onion?
Of course, he already did that during his first term – the second coming, the chosen one, God…
Sort of hard to tell these days, isn’t it?
Still Gulf of Mexico on my phone.
What I have read about google maps is that for users in the US, it will be named Gulf of America. In the rest of the world, it will say “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”. There is apparently some precedence for that. The example given is the Persian Gulf, which will appear to users in Arabic countries as “Arabian Gulf (Persion Gulf)”. Or something like that.
There is some UN agency keeping a database of internationally recognised names, and that will presumably keep on saying Persian Gulf and Gulf of Mexico. No prizes for guessing how Trump will feel about the latter.
WTF does DJT even mean, he “turned on the water”? It’s a finite resource. In drought years there ISN’T any water. Pictures, or it didn’t happen.
*Sorry, I entered my username wrongly.
For all we know, maybe Trump is talking about some soldier in California who turned on a faucet to wash his hands. (I’ve yet to figure out how the “Emergency Powers” fit in this interpretation.)
