F47 wants two things --California's Water + California's Voters

From F47's remarks on arrival in Fletcher, NC
01/25/2025

..."we’re going to do a good job in California. That is a disaster like — I don’t know if we’ve ever seen anything like it, frankly. They say “the biggest in the history of California.”

"And I guess I’m going to meet with some government officials, but, I mean, much more importantly — and in California, just to revert to it for a second, millions of gallons of water are waiting to be poured down through already the half pipes that are already built. I mean, they’ve been up for 40 years. And about 20 years ago, they turned off the water. And it’s the water that comes from the Pacific Northwest — some of it comes out of Canada — and it flows there, and it probably has flowed there for a million years. And they turned it off, and they route out to the Pacific.

And in the meantime, you don’t have water in the hydrants. You don’t have water in the sprinkler systems. It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.

And everyone’s trying to figure out: Why aren’t they turning it back? They say it’s the delta smelt — it’s a fish — but I find that hard to believe. But we’ll —"

" figure it out. And without — and without doing that, you’re going to continue to have problems."

" I want to see two things in Los Angeles: Voter ID, so that the people have a chance to vote, and I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state. Those are the two things.

After that, I will be the greatest president that California have ever — has ever seen. "

"I want the water to come down and come down to Los Angeles and also go out to all the farmland that’s barren and dry.

You know, they have land that they say is the equivalent of the land in Iowa, which is about as good as there is anywhere on Earth. The problem is it’s artificial, because they artificially stop the water from going on to the land.

So, I want two things. I want voter ID for the people of California, and they all want it. Right now, you have no — you don’t have voter ID. People want to have voter identification. You want to have proof of citizenship. Ideally, you have one-day voting, but I just want voter ID as a start. And I want the water to be released, and they’re going to get a lot of help from the U.S."

He learned nothing from the last go 'round! Yet his MAGA cultists swoon over every lie he utters.
