[quote](FRESNO, Calif.) — Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told California voters Friday that he can solve their water crisis, declaring that: “There is no drought.” Speaking at a rally in Fresno, Calif., Trump accused state officials of denying water to Central Valley farmers so they can send it out to sea “to protect a certain kind of three-inch fish.” “We’re going to solve your water problem. You have a water problem that is so insane. It is so ridiculous where they’re taking the water and shoving it out to sea,” Trump said to cheers at a rally that drew thousands. Trump said he spent 30 minutes before the rally meeting with more than 50 farmers who complained to him about their struggles. “They don’t understand — nobody understands it,” he said, adding that, “There is no drought.”[/quote] I know Mr Trump likes to play fast and loose with a lot of facts, but...this is demonstrably false. There most certainly is a drought here. How can such lies get applause and support? From Californians, no less?!
