From the Caliphate to California, doing what Democrats won't do. But this all won't sit well with Joy Behar and, well, the people on the coast from LA to the Bay. The Tunnel Dweller

Trump brings battered, belittled American farmers to the front of the stage
President Trump brings razor sharp instincts to the political picture, and nowhere was it more obvious than in his appearance in Bakersfield, California, signing a bill to clean up the junk-science federal "research" on water for the parched Central Valley, and better still, ordering the feds to give California's Central Valley farmers the water for their farms that they already paid for. 

According to Politico:

“What they're doing to your state is a disgrace," Trump said. "After decades of failure and delays in ensuring critical water rights for the people of the state, we are determined to finally get your problems solved."

The official water "record of decision" was signed Wednesday, outlining endangered species rules for California's main water hub. Central Valley politicians have railed for years against water restrictions intended to help salmon and smelt that inhabit the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and Delta further north.

"It came at a time when a tape came out of Democratic standard-bearer Michael Bloomberg belittling American farmers as not having much "grey matter" and along with a smarmy claim that "I could teach everyone in this room how to farm." Really, Mike?

"The video of Trump's retort, honoring the farmers, and getting the farmers' roaring support in return, was a thing of beauty: watch the video to see why Trump had a signing table onstsge.

. . . 

"Same people Mike Bloomberg wrote off as hopeless simpletons. And all real, authentic as possible, not the fake characters planted in audiences at Democratic rallies.

"Their presence not only added some serious thrust to Trump's argument for being fair to farmers -- which California hasn't been - it also elevates Trump, who now stands as a champion of working class America, stealing the left's thunder.

"If there's any question as to whether Trump would win reelection, this appearance put such a notion out of its misery. This was exactly why Trump always wins." . . . 

"Listen: first you poke a hole in the ground, then you stick in a seed, see...It's easy!"

The Farm Belt and the Borsch Belt relate to President Trump.  "If you don’t understand the Borscht Belt, you’ll never understand Donald Trump." In the Celebrity Belt, not so much.

As is manifest from Trump’s yuuuuge crowds from Alabama to Iowa to everywhere else he goes, one does not have to be from 1950s Borscht Belt New York or of Orthodox Jewish orientation to “get” him. All it takes is an open mind and a sense of humor from a time in the not-so-distant past when people could joke about things and could say ridiculous and absurd things without being taken so literally and without being hunted down by the PC police.
