Trump revealed that this, like global warming, is just a hoax. I wonder if he learnt this with the same investigators he used to investigate Obama's birth certificate in Hawaii.
Anyway, in California yesterday he announced to drought stricken California that there is no drought.
Next he plans to go to talk to cancer patients and tell them they have no cancer.
Here is what a real leader sounds like who actually has taken the time to know what he's' talking about:
"Everything about life in California has been affected by the drought. Governor Jerry Brown has turned to it in all of his recent State of the State messages, both as an emergency to confront and as a parable for the state’s future. For instance, here is the way he spoke about it in this year’s address (emphasis added):
"One of the bright spots in our contentious politics is the joining together of both parties and the people themselves to secure passage of Proposition 1, the Water Bond. That, together with our California Water Action Plan, establishes a solid program to deal with the drought and the longer-term challenge of using our water wisely."
"Our goal must be to preserve California’s natural beauty and ensure a vibrant economy – on our farms, in our cities and for all the people who live here. There is no magic bullet but a series of actions must be taken. We have to recharge our aquifers, manage the groundwater, recycle, capture stormwater, build storage and reliable conveyance, improve efficiency everywhere, invest in new technologies – including desalination – and all the while recognize that there are some limits."
"Achieving balance between all the conflicting interests is not easy but I pledge to you that I will listen and work patiently to achieve results that will stand the test of time. Water goes to the heart of what California is and what it has been over centuries. Pitting fish against farmer misses the point and grossly distorts reality. Every one of us and every creature that dwells here form a complex system which must be understood and respected."

In this same speech, Trump boasts that he thinks he has a real shot at winning California this year.
I'd say it's about as good a shot as winning the votes of Hispanics and women.
Last night my friend Artie revealed to me that his very Republican mother is considering voting for Hillary this year. But she is adamant she won't be voting for Donald Trump.
As she's been a lifelong GOP voter this is in truth a vote for Hillary even if she doesn't directly vote for her.

I just emailed my friends and family in California RedState's take on Trump's drought speech. A little more right wing than yours, but still they mock him:

That alt-right Breitbart writer called Milo I told you about did his talk at the university here (UCSB, my alma mater) ... part of his "Dangerous Faggot" tour. I notice it went right to the top of my youtube suggested videos. I watched a little to see why he's a thing.

Seems like an overreaction to feminist overreach. Not very funny either, which is what his redeeming quality was supposed to be.
Milo did recommend this woman: Christiana Hoff Sommers (whom I've heard of before). She's interviewed here by Joe Rogan, and she seems WAAAAYYY more reasonable (and interesting) than Milo:

Dave Rubin interviews her too, and does a better job. But I'll have to hand it to Bill Kristol in this case, he does better than either of them because he lets her do most of the talking:
