    “I want to see two things in Los Angeles: Voter ID so that the people have a chance to vote. And I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state. Those are the two things. After that, I will be the greatest president that California ever has ever seen,” he said

    California requires state or federal id when registering to vote and when voting for the first time in person. They recently banned cities and districts from making additional requirements.

    Los Angeles primarily gets its water from three main sources: the Owens River, Northern California, and the Colorado River, along with local groundwater. Approximately 57% of the region’s water supply is imported, while groundwater accounts for about 34% of the total supply.

    As a former los angeleno, I have always been proud of the changes they’ve made to conserve water in homes and business over the last few decades and I don’t believe most people living there expect to receive more water from outside the region as the climate worsens. But then, I don’t own any golf courses

      I didn’t think of the golf course angle. Lol. Trump just demanded a ban on golfing. We should put the word out!

        No, I read it that he is demanding more water for Los Angeles for some reason.
