Just three months ago, Trump discussed California's water issues and wildfires on the Joe Rogan Podcast. He talked about how the state could reduce wildfires by clearing dead trees and mentioned that California has enough water for its needs, but that progressive environmental policies are hindering water flow.
Trump pointed out that in Los Angeles, water is scarce and expensive, and even in nice neighborhoods, there are discussions about water rationing. He observed that vast areas of farmland were barren and learned from locals that the problem is not a drought, but the mismanagement of water flow. He suggested that water from northern California is redirected into the ocean to protect a small fish, leading to a massive waste of water.
During the discussion, Trump highlighted the potential for California's farmlands to thrive if water was correctly managed. He noted that many farmers were struggling despite having water available. He emphasized that the forests were extremely dry and could benefit from proper water allocation, suggesting that billions are spent fighting forest fires each year which could be avoided with better management.
Trump's efforts to address California's water and wildfire crisis were met with resistance during his first term, as he tried to promote changes to improve water supply but faced lawsuits from the state and environmental groups. This resistance has now led to severe consequences, with California experiencing some of the worst fires in years and a lack of available water.
