Trump gave a speech in California the other day. Wait until you hear his plan for preventing forest fires. > [@](#): > > “They say that there’s so much water up north that I want to have the overflow areas go into your forests and dampen your forests, because if you dampen your forests you’re not gonna have these forest fires that are burning at levels that nobody’s ever seen,” Trump said to a cheering crowd. I guess he’s moved on from raking the floors because raking a damp forest floor would be hard. > [@](#): > > “All the currently dry canals will be brimming and used to irrigate everything, including your own homes and bathrooms and everything, you’re going to be happy, and I’m going to get it done fast,” he added. I heard this on TV at some point today and people were ecstatically cheering. It just boggles the mind.

But’s its classic Trump: promise anything and everything someone wants, that’ll be their immediately, if not sooner, with zero plans for delivering it. Other than demanding it be done. But yeah, it boggles the mind that people believe it. And those people get to vote as well! 🤮 ---

It just boggles the mind. So many people come up to Trump with tears in their eyes to thank him for saving the country. His plan is obviously to channel these tears into the dry canals. Only a genius of his stability could devise such a plan. > **[All the people who Trump says cry around him](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAv8JPNZ-P8?=list)** > > Apparently, scores of “big, strong” men keep crying in front of President Trump.

And what did this particular traitor post on FB? Ah, this is some golden inanity: > In since-deleted Facebook posts after the insurrection, Jackson shared that the violence of the riots was caused by “Antifa” and Black Lives Matter protesters, often-cited and debunked conspiracy theories. The post also said that former President Trump would attempt a military coup before inauguration day. > > “If POTUS doesn’t stop this, [Trump] will be hunted down and arrested along with his entire family by the left. That’s a fact. And with him gone, our country is gone too. He knows this. He’s not going to sit there and do nothing,” the post read, according to prosecutors. > > “From now to the 19th is show time, we just don’t know exactly when. So yes, we are in a full blown Military Operation right now to remove the threats and install our President back in power and control the violence in the big cities,” it continued. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > “If POTUS doesn’t stop this, [Trump] will be hunted down and arrested along with his entire family by the left.

But let me rephrase the FB post: ‘If POTUS doesn’t stop this, [Trump] will be **will be held accountable for his many crimes** by the **United States of America**. That’s a fact…’ And that just won’t do. The Messiah cannot be held accountable for _anything!_ (According to the uneducated deplorables.) > [@solost](#): > > It’s amazing how large the Deep State Conspiracy of traitors and liars that oppose trump has grown: Also, two-thirds of the American People.
