Trump Tells California 'There Is No Drought'

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told California voters Friday that he can solve their water crisis, declaring, "There is no drought."

Speaking at a rally in Fresno, Calif., Trump accused state officials of denying water to Central Valley farmers so they can send it out to sea "to protect a certain kind of three-inch fish

Goddamn this guy hasn't a goddamn clue. The most extreme drought in califorina recorded history isn't a drought? He doesn't know what he is talking about and needs the services of a meteorologist. jesus fuck.

Trump is a super used car salesman. He will say whatever it takes to make the sale. And he does not give a damn as to what the actual truth is. Once you have bought it, you own it, and he won't give a damn about what he said before.

 

[ClosedCaption]

I mean, can we be serious here? If he said this, would this not be an example of Trump saying anything to close? I mean, no drought exists and he'll now fix the weather? Or stop protecting a fish and it'll rain?

Elect him and coal mining will boom? Elect him and he'll bring jobs back to America but he can't bring his own Jobs back from China and Mexico?

Hell build a super huge beautiful wall (maybe with his name on it) because he'll make Mexico pay for it? Somehow?

This is the Art of the deal. Some people like being fooled and just enjoy the ride.

To Funny:

Left wing nut jobs cant even look at the historical record to see that this is well within natural variation and not unusual.. The failure to plan and left wing stupidity is what is causing the water shortages. Trump is right on all points...

The man said there is no drought. That is a lie by any standards.

Why you refuse to acknowledge reality and instead go for whatever he says is true, doesn't make sense.

Trump's religious advisor claims he can stop Tsunamis. Trump just needs to find one who can end droughts.

And that bozo is running for President on the Republican ticket....what a sad reflection of the decayed, corrupted-by-money state of our democracy....and the dumbed-down racist anti-science ignorance of portions of the American electorate who apparently believe that an ignorant, bombastic, blovating, anti-science, anti-environmental, global warming denying, lying, fascist blowhard would make a good President.

In the real world, Trump and his racist shithead followers are going to lead the Repukes to a crushing defeat in November.....hopefully costing them control of Congress.

Even the Associated Press can spot a liar.

(excerpts)
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told California voters Friday that he can solve their water crisis, declaring, "There is no drought." California is, in fact, in midst of a drought. Last year capped the state's driest four-year period in its history, with record low rainfall and snow. Speaking at a rally in Fresno, Calif., Trump accused state officials of denying water to Central Valley farmers so they can send it out to sea "to protect a certain kind of three-inch fish." "We're going to solve your water problem. You have a water problem that is so insane. It is so ridiculous where they're taking the water and shoving it out to sea," Trump said at a rally that drew thousands. Trump appeared to be referring to disputes over water that runs from the Sacramento River to the San Francisco Bay and then to the ocean. Some farmers want more of that flow captured and diverted to them.

Politically influential rural water districts and well-off corporate farmers in and around California's Central Valley have been pushing back against longstanding federal laws protecting endangered fish and other species, saying federal efforts to make sure endangered native fish have enough water is short-changing farmers of the water they want and need for crops. Water authorities say they can't do it because of the water rights of those upstream of the farmers, and because of the minimum-water allowances needed by endangered species in the bay and by wildlife in general. The three-inch Delta smelt is a native California fish on the brink of extinction. The smelt has become an emblem in the state's battles over environmental laws and water distribution.
The comments came a day after Trump outlined an energy policy plan that relies heavily on expanding U.S. fossil fuel exploration and reducing environmental regulations.

He doesn't need to end droughts, since Trump used his power of declaration to do away with droughts all together.

Now expect RW'ER to make threads questioning the definition of "droughts"

If Jerry Brown had not stopped the California water project in the 1970s, we would have stored enough water in wet years to get through drought periods. The population has more than doubled with no increase in water storage and transport infrastructure.

Instead, he supports a $68b train to nowhere out in the valley... Much bigger opportunity for graft.

The delusional dimwit Trump tells California: "There is no drought"...

The United States Geological Survey says:

California Drought Facts

* California's currently in its fifth year of severe drought.

* California's 2015 and 2014 Water Years, which ended September 30, 2015 were the warmest years on record.

* 2014 was the third driest year on record.

* On January 17, 2014 California State Governor, Jerry Brown, declared a drought state of emergency.

Snowpack Status

* Although water year 2016's snowpack started off at 136 percent of normal as measured on December 30, 2015, as of March 1, 2016, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) measured the statewide snowpack to be at 83 percent of normal for this date, the result of moderate precipitation and relatively warm temperatures.

* On April 1, 2015, DWR measured the statewide water content of Sierra snowpack at five percent of average for April 1st. These levels are lower than any year in records going back to 1950. The April 1st snowpack measurement is crucial because this is when the snowpack is normally at its peak and begins to melt into streams and reservoirs. Snowpack, through runoff, provides about one-third of the water used by California's cities and farms.

How much rain do deserts get?

The Wall will stop the drought and keep Mexico from stealing our water.

That's funny. A drought and you got water. How does that happen?

How much blood does your brain get, JustCrazy? You are obviously experiencing a prolonged and severe shortage!

California receives over 22 inches of rain per year on average....which is about the same as Alaska and Nebraska, and just a bit less than Oregon, Kansas and Minnesota.....it is way more than the average rainfall in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.

Are ALL of those states also "deserts" In your private little addlepated delusional world?
