Trump on California: "There is no drought. Just open up the water for use."

http://gawker.com/water-scientist-donald-trump-on-how-to-end-californias-1779228841

You see, California has plenty of water. Those idiots are just, quote, "shoving it out to sea" and waste it on rivers and wetlands.

If only Californians would pillage every last drop of river-water in their desert-state and hand it over to agriculture, the water-shortage would be gone.

Probably that's why he's gone bankrupt so many times. Having money in the bank doesn't mean you can "afford" something, and having water in the reservoirs doesn't mean there's no drought.

For that matter, the old adage that you have to spend money to make money... doesn't apply to water.

proof positive that the 'drought' is manufactured by liberals who hate farmers.
