Today in a rally in Fresno, California, Donald Trump made a few comments about water. They were all inanities, parroting old Republican mis-statements and misrepresentations about the causes of California’s water challenges. Apparently, he was fed these lines and comments in a meeting with some representatives from the agricultural sector right before his Fresno rally.
Below is a partial transcript made from the parts of his Fresno speech related to water. [Apologies for any errors transcribing his speech. It was painful to listen to and his style and grammar are pretty non-linear.] The gist of Trump’s mostly content-less statements is:
(1) There apparently isn’t a California drought (though, look here).
(2) The entire water problem is the fault of environmentalists and California’s senators who “shove” all the water out to sea to protect “a three-inch fish” (referring to the endangered Delta Smelt).
(3) And when he “wins” he’s going to come back to California and “start opening up the water.”
Who knew California’s water problems were actually so easy to solve?
Here are the highlights of Trump’s disjointed, factually wrong, and weirdly self-congratulatory comments. (See below for context. The full speech can be found here, with a short clip related to water here.)
