It’s bought a pure circulation from Canada all the way in which up north of water, extra water than they might ever use. And so as to shield a tiny little fish, the water up north will get routed into the Pacific Ocean. Thousands and thousands and hundreds of thousands of gallons of water will get poured…
TRUMP: You might have all the water you want, all of that land would have extra water. The entire thing may very well be like that little patch. Actually, actually I’d say—I used to be with Devin Nunes, a congressman and different congressmen, we have been going up. I used to be visiting them as a result of they requested me to go up and go to their territory and I did. However I saved saying, “Take a look at this land. It’s stunning, nevertheless it’s so dry.” And I assumed they have been going by like a desert like a drought. They mentioned, “No, we now have water, nevertheless it will get—” So I seemed into it.

And you already know, there’s a case with the atmosphere. They’re not allowed to rake their forests since you’re not allowed to the touch it. When a tree falls down, after 18 months it turns into very dry. It’s like you already know, actual firewood. It’s unhealthy.
