There’s a giant pipe that runs all the way from Canada to Los Angeles, with a massive valve that takes a day to turn. Its current configuration is set to dump all of that water into the Pacific. To solve the water crisis we merely need to spend a day to turn this massive valve, the size of that building behind you, the other way so that the water goes to Los Angeles instead?
Hes talking about the mile wide Columbia river, which meanders through Canada, Washington and Northern Oregon. It’s basically on the border of Washington and Oregon. At no point does it even get close to touching California, much less LA, which is in southern California.
To do this would be one the most gigantic and intense infrastructure projects our country has ever undertaken, which would take decade’s at an unimaginable cost. Not to mention the drastic shift in the ecosystem of 3 states as that river is “drained” south instead of to the ocean.
He lists this as “a big valve you just turn.” Absolute moron.
He’s got to be the most extreme example of Dunning-Kruger effect out there.
Thinks he’s a certified genius, meanwhile all his handlers have to break down concepts for him in such simplistic terms, he ends up literally thinking injecting bleach or putting powerful UV light inside the body are the solutions to COVID, or raking a forest is an actual solution to preventing widespread wildfires.
So you’re telling me:

Truly very stable genius stuff here.

Even stupider than that he calls it a fucking faucet.
“And Canada will pay for it!”
Canada here. Sorry bruh, but we are all tapped out.
S’okay - if he says it’s going to happen, you can pretty much bet it won’t happen
I think that’s also pretty much universally true with all our politicians
Sort of true - trump takes it to a whole new level though.
You give him way too much credit. I doubt he even knows the Columbia River exists. He just says random shit.
