Why is Trump blaming the LA fires on Newsom’s water policies?

Mark Gold, water scarcity director for the Natural Resources Defense Council and a board member of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, said Trump’s comments do not reflect California’s complex water supply systems and just fan flames of political discontent. 

“Tying Bay-Delta management into devastating wildfires that have cost people’s lives and homes is nothing short of irresponsible, and it’s happening at a time when the Metropolitan Water District has the most water stored in its system in the history of the agency,” he said. “It’s not a matter of having enough water coming from Northern California to put out a fire. It’s about the continued devastating impacts of a changing climate.”

  1. When you blame climate change, it means the other guy is right and you don't want to admit it.
    Did your fart smell wrong this morning? Climate change.
    Coffee didn't taste like it should? Climate change.
    Water shortage in a formerly prosperous state than sits beside an actual ocean? Climate change.
    See, that way you and your idiot policies never get blamed. It's something else. And guess whose fault climate change is. Oh yeah, Trump.

    1. "The Santa Ana winds and the accompanying raging wildfires have been a part of the ecosystem of the Los Angeles Basin for over 5,000 years, dating back to the earliest habitation of the region by the Tongva and Tataviam peoples"

      Nothing to do with climate change.

      If you have heard of Babylon sisters, it was mentioned in the song in 1980. Hamevin yavin.
