It was one of those moments that make you wonder whether the President of the United States still understands what he's saying — or whether he’s simply drifting deeper into a current of his own delusions and misconceptions.
Bei During an evening address in Washington, broadcast live by the far-right network RSBN, Donald Trump claimed he had “sent so much water” to California that “they wouldn’t have had the fires in Los Angeles if they’d gotten it.” But the water, he said, “didn’t make it to L.A.” — instead, it flooded the Central Valley, “destroyed farmland,” and wiped out the water supply “that those farmers will need when it hits 100 degrees.”
The bizarre statement, delivered in a barely coherent, almost slurred tone, left even conservative commentators puzzled. There is, after all, no presidential lever for water distribution — and no such flood tied to Trump’s actions has occurred in California.
Criticism came quickly: The statement was not only factually wrong but deeply cynical toward those genuinely affected by the ongoing droughts and wildfires. On social media, users remarked that the president apparently “can no longer tell the difference between a flood, a drought, and the weather forecast.”
The central question remains: Does Trump even realize what he’s saying anymore? Or has his rhetoric of perpetual performance — this notion of “acting by asserting” — spiraled into something beyond his own control?
Was bleibt, ist das Bild eines Präsidenten, der sich zwischen Mythos und Missverständnis verliert – live, zur besten Sendezeit.
