Hes talking about the mile wide Columbia river, which meanders through Canada, Washington and Northern Oregon. It's basically on the border of Washington and Oregon. At no point does it even get close to touching California, much less LA, which is in southern California.
To do this would be one the most gigantic and intense infrastructure projects our country has ever undertaken, which would take decade's at an unimaginable cost. Not to mention the drastic shift in the ecosystem of 3 states as that river is "drained" south instead of to the ocean.
He lists this as "a big valve you just turn." Absolute moron.
He's got to be the most extreme example of Dunning-Kruger effect out there.
Thinks he's a certified genius, meanwhile all his handlers have to break down concepts for him in such simplistic terms, he ends up literally thinking injecting bleach or putting powerful UV light inside the body are the solutions to COVID, or raking a forest is an actual solution to preventing widespread wildfires.
Even stupider than that he calls it a fucking faucet.
“And Canada will pay for it!”
Canada here. Sorry bruh, but we are all tapped out.
S’okay - if he says it’s going to happen, you can pretty much bet it won’t happen
I think that's also pretty much universally true with all our politicians
Sort of true - trump takes it to a whole new level though.
You give him way too much credit. I doubt he even knows the Columbia River exists. He just says random shit.
