Donald Trump thinks water from Canada automatically runs to California because it’s coming from the north, and we’re living in the dumbest timeline
Captain Science has been at it again. Donald Trump – the man who thinks ‘windmills’ cause cancer and drive whales insane, shining ultraviolet lights into people would cure Covid, and that it’s okay to look directly at an eclipse – has been spouting nonsense about the California wildfires.
Trump: When I was president, I demanded that this guy, the governor, accept the water coming from the north, from way up in Canada. And, you know, the north, it flows down through right through Los Angeles. I mean, massive millions and millions of gallons of water a week,… pic.twitter.com/rnfbadSlkk

It’s just the latest in a string of grossly inaccurate comments the incoming President has made about the wildfires.
Donald Trump’s recent statements about California’s water management and its impact on wildfires contain several inaccuracies. Here’s a fact-check to clarify the situation:
Claim 1: Water from Canada flows through Los Angeles.
Fact: California’s water supply does not originate… pic.twitter.com/75rmrVk9SW

This is a huge reason he wants Canada. They have over 20% of world's freshwater reserves.

Where does one start with this garbage? Not only does Trump lie every time he opens his mouth, he’s also as thick as a plank. ♀️ He genuinely thinks that because Canada is to the north of the US, gravity will pull water ‘downwards’ – to the US. ♀️#TwoDimensionalTrump https://t.co/Tuinu3tBWd

Four years. Four years of this confident, loud, unreflective idiocy.

Trump ignorantly says LA could've accessed "more water than they'd know what to do with" flowing from Canada to put out wildfires!@Heidisplace2:
How the hell is it supposed to “flow” from Canada to LA? There is no direct River from north to south! What an uneducated imbecile! https://t.co/EqR0xT5knd— JoJo (@DogsNDemocrats) January 14, 2025
