30% : The publication further explained:Trump appeared to be referring to water imported south from the Bay-Delta, fed by Northern California rivers and snowmelt.
29% : On Wednesday, Trump sent a post on Truth Social slamming Newsom, claiming the governor helped exacerbate the problem by not approving a plan to allow more water to flow from mountains north of the city:Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way....
25% : Trump also claimed that Newsom wanted to protect the smelt, a small fish, and that the resulting water policies have been disastrous for southern California:He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn't work!), but didn't care about the people of California.

19% : Mark Gold, who is a board member of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, told CalMatters that Trump is wrong to link smelt conservation efforts to a lack of water to fight fires 400 miles away.
