A MAGA Misogynist being as articulate as the limits of one's education allows?
Or inarticulate like so many sad resentful MAGA incels?

I dunno, but......but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck........

You be the judge.
I'll demur.

This fool stated that he can turn on a big water faucet in the Pacific Northwest to send water to California. . He thinks he can divert water from the Collumbia rIver to LA. I lived in Portland, where the Columbia runs into the Willamette. Trump is taking crazy. Now watch the cult members try telling everyone that is not what Trump said. Or try explaining what he meant. Donald Trump is a 78 year old man who says he is smart and has the best words. He doesn't need to have what he says explained.

Trump calls for opening ‘very large faucet’ in PNW to send water to California​

Though it wasn’t widely reported in United States media, earlier this month, former President Donald Trump made a suggestion about dealing with California’s drought and wildfire crises that apparently involved diverting water from the Columbia River.

In a press conference held in a suburb of Los Angeles at his Trump National Golf Course, the Republican presidential nominee spoke on a variety of topics. But toward the end of the session, a reporter asked a question about the president’s thoughts about coping with California wildfires, as well as other natural disasters around the country.

Trump talked about an idea for bringing more water into California, and said, “You have millions of gallons of water pouring down from the north, with the snow caps in Canada and all pouring down, and they have essentially a very large faucet,” adding that all of that water goes “aimlessly” into the Pacific Ocean, “and if they turned it back, all of that water would come right down here and right into Los Angeles.”

In a report on Canada’s CTV News, reporter Tyler Barrow interviewed Tricia Stadnyk, an environmental engineering professor at the University of Calgary, who said Trump was apparently referring to the Columbia River, which starts in British Columbia, and runs through Washington state and Oregon before ending up in the Pacific Ocean.

“We can’t just be taking water and diverting it and sending it somewhere else,” Stadnyk said. “Besides that, every time that we’re asked to do that, it’s a sign that we’re living outside of our means.”

Barrow said, in a voiceover, “Any water diversion, she added, would also have everlasting impacts on the ecosystem, wildlife and humans already dependent upon the water coming from the Columbia River.”

The comments came at a press conference held earlier this month at his Los Angeles-area golf club.

The West has been pushing to divert our Mississippi River water west for years...and that would be a hell of a lot harder than diverting water from Oregon.

Pumping Mississippi River water west: solution or dream?

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Waves of torrential rainfall drenched California into the new year. Snowpacks in the Sierra Nevada Mountains have swelled to more than 200% their normal size, and snowfall across the rest of the Colorado River Basin is trending above average, too.

As usual, the OP is uninformed.

China is currently developing a similar diversion project...

China’s planning a 1,000km tunnel to divert water away from one of India’s largest rivers

The project could become another point of tension between the two Asian neighbours.

Muddy Waters And The Origins Of Agriculture

The first seeds for agriculture were quite literally planted 1000s of years ago in the soil left behind by a muddy river, a form of farming, flood recession agriculture, still practiced today.

... disinfectant....

At least you're honest that he asked about disinfectant...not bleach.

You get a thumbs up for that.
