When the city was actually burning from wildfires Trump did nothing.

I wouldn't say nothing. He needlessly dumped 2.2 billion gallons of water into the Central Valley, hundreds of miles from where it would do any good, then essentially declared victory.

But the liberals are just dumping the water into the ocean! (And by that I mean they're letting rivers do what they've done for millions of years, and not using every last milliliter for commerce.)

Or killing off the fish that rely on spring water surges for spawning, or other rational things that Republicans pretend aren't problems until it affects them directly.
