Here's Donald Trump saying that he was releasing massive amounts of water to help fight the fires. What a shame. And by the way, the water is flowing in California. I hope you people have seen it. But the water is flowing. Do you have a picture of that? Hold it up. Do you have a picture of that? Get a picture of me, please. You know, we had a little skirmish in California. I can't believe we had to do that. But we opened up the water in California. The water was flowing into a place called the Pacific Ocean, which for the Pacific Ocean is only a drop. But for us, it's more water than we can use in California. So I'll get you some photographs, but it's a beautiful sight. The problem with this, of course, is the fires were already out and the water he released couldn't even get to the Southern California location of these fires if they had still been burning.
