I was referring to the comments made by water conservationists, environmentalists, etc.

Taking millions of gallons out of the system that supplies drinking water and irrigation, then pouring into an area without a natural underground reservoir, or desert, or an area where water is already precious. Is insanity.

To do it in the face of local and expert opposition for the benefit of a very few. Is undemocratic.

The response from Trump, when faced with an expert on coastal erosion, was to bring in his expert. A golf course designer who couldn't answer the questions asked. About how much of the natural dunes that acted as a barrier to the sea. That needed to be removed to build the golf course.

Trump pulled out when the Government refused to cancel the wind farm as he demanded. It spoilt the view from his luxury hotel.

The damage they do to the natural environment is huge.

His "negotiation skills" is to pour money into a few of the top politicians coffers, and expect them to give what ever he demands. He will find that doesn't always work or very expensive for taxpayers.
