I watched that speech and that is not what happened.
The locals told Trump that the water they needed was going to the ocean and that because of some small fish they could not get the water they needed to farm.

Trump never said anything about there not being a drought, he was only responding to what he was told about the water allocation.

Another example of the MSM making up, more like, outright lying about what was said and what happened.

Well Hussein did promise us before his coronation, that we wouldn't be able to eat the kinds of foods we wanted, nor as much of it.

Starvation is the go to weapon for mass murder by communists. Slow, but cheap and effective.

Reading this I remembered driving through Oxnard 15 years ago....
.....and the lack of water and the angry farmers

WHY did we let the government do this to us

I pray Trump is protected and indeed is our President next year

Oh the joy of having our country back

Trump is correct. Period.

Sorry, LSM morons. (Not really.) People are learning that you are stupid or just lie.

Once again, he’s dead on. Anyone driving from SF to LA will pass a series of billboards on the way making this exact point. Democratic Congressman from the Central Valley are feeling the heat on this topic.

Trump, using his campaign to discuss forbidden topics out loud, is causing the Left and their climato-globalist playpals more apoplexy than the possibility of his becoming President. A political campaign of Presidential dimensions is poised to utterly destroy the blackout on the various sanctified Leftist Gramscian cultural engineering initiatives. The MSM have no choice but to cover the campaign and where they leave off, their Internet replacements will take up. Stock up on popcorn, kids, this is going to be the hit show of the century.

“Trump never said anything about there not being a drought, he was only responding to what he was told about the water allocation.”

Yes. They twisted it to make Trump seem out of touch with reality via the headline when in fact what he said is very true.

I just listened to the video clip. Trump never says "there is no drought." He starts talking about water at 1:29 and says the word "drought" at 1:58.

The AP ran a hit piece with fake quotes.

I admit to being torn. I’m CA native and the local loons are in control. As much as I dislike the Feds taking land and holding land out of private hands, it seems like the local governments can use eminent domain or the local version of the EPA to prevent private development — even, or especially — for water projects.

If someone like Trump could actually get water projects built, it would need to be on Federal lands to prevent the State and local governments from interfering — which could require more Federal land grabs. But Trump would only have at most eight years, and the next batch of loons at the Federal level would then dismantle those projects just as they have been doing to existing dams on the Klammath river and elsewhere.

You've got it -- but most people haven't. When I try to talk about this in "polite" company -- even among folks who claim to be conservatives -- I'm immediately accused of being a whacked-out conspiracy theorist.

Anyone who wants to see how frighteningly far this thing has gone already should go to the official PBS Nova website and watch the recent episode "Wild Ways." It's sugar-coated to make it seem like the Second Coming but it's very bad news for us common folks and it's happening with increasing momentum.

One reason these things succeed is due to planned incrementalism -- they carefully don't heat the water fast enough for most of us frogs to realized we're being boiled. And the powers pulling the strings are well financed by puppet-masters like George Soros and other wealthy one-worlders. They hire accomplished propagandists so skilled they put Goebbels to shame. Worse, they use taxpayer-financed media like Nova to sell their deceptions.
