Story
Trump Proposes Water Plan for California, Threatens Gov. Newsom with Aid Cuts over Delta Smelt
Oct 13, 2024, 01:48 AM
Former President Donald Trump, speaking in California, proposed a detailed plan to address the state's water crisis by rerouting water from the Klamath River that is currently being released into the Pacific Ocean back into the cities. He asserted that California's water shortage is artificial and promised, 'California, you're going to have so much water, you're not going to know what the hell to do with it.' Trump criticized environmental policies aimed at protecting the Delta smelt, a fish species he claims is 'doing extremely badly,' arguing that water is being diverted unnecessarily to save it. He threatened to withhold federal aid for fighting forest fires unless Governor Gavin Newsom complies with his plan, stating, 'We'll say, Gavin, if you don't do it, we're not giving you any of that fire money that we send you all the time for all the forest fires that you have. It's not hard to do.'
