    He claimed Los Angeles limits residents to just 38 gallons of water a day, and referred to some mythical “valve” that could bring limitless water to L.A., but that officials instead diverted to the ocean.

    “They have a valve, think of a sink but multiply it by many thousands of times the size of it, it’s massive. And you turn it back toward Los Angeles. Why aren’t they doing it? They either have a death wish, they’re stupid or there’s something else going on that we don’t understand,” Trump said.

            Look mate, I don’t even live in the States and I need to keep my sanity. I did what I could when I felt like I could do it and Americans picked Trump, so I’m doing what I gotta do to survive. Is it selfish? Yeah, it is a little bit, but that’s the truth.

            And what should we do instead that you’re doing right now? I personally feel powerless in all of this.

              Unfortunately, I don’t have the right answer. I can still recognize the wrong one though.

              That feeling of powerlessness over everything is what they want. It eventually leads to something called learned helplessness, where we no longer even try to change things.

      You know what they say. Everything that comes out of their mouths is either a confession or projection!

      Stupid does apply here, just not in the way he thinks it does. Also, who is “they”? Is he just referring to liberals?

        A lot of people are about to have a crash course on how fascism works…

        It’s fucking wild how closely this skews with Revelation. The Beast and the Antichrist were two different people. The Beast distracted while the Antichrist ruled.

      Alright, then how about you go rake the leaves of the national forest and parks behind my house? You got this. Should be pretty easy from what you’re saying.

      Don’t worry. I hear Trump is transferring funds to unimportant things like the Center for Disease Control and WIC in order to start his new Federal Forest Raking Program.
