They don't send millions out. And rivers are supposed to flow to the ocean. You want to damn every water source? I see you don't care about Ca fishing industry that rely on that natural flow. Trump is no longer president!! In reply to Saul Travers.

Trump signed this mighty memo: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/02/26/2020-04089/developing-and-delivering-more-water-supplies-to-california Then he came to Bakersfield to bloviate about it. He said, "But we got over the fact that I said, "Boy, that's a beautiful area, but why is everything else barren?" And it's because of water. You send millions and millions of gallons out.

The state could do this with a flick of the governor's hand. And we hope that he's going to do it because it makes so much sense." So where's all the water he promised?
