There is nothing Trump can say or do that Progressives will agree with...

There is nothing Trump can say or do that Progressives will agree with... unless it is "I am resigning effective immediately", and DailyPUMA has a problem with that.

Recently Mr. Trump spoke about the 2018 fires in California. Trump's main point was that too much water is diverted back to the Pacific Ocean and not enough is harbored throughout California so that more water is available at shorter distances to fight fires that now can occur all along California's sprawling landscape. 

The second pont Mr. Trump made was that there is not enough clear cutting in California so once a fire starts it spreads farther and faster.

I agree with both points Mr. Trump made and the evidence probably agrees with him. The current 2018 California fires have now been called the biggest ever on record, and at least one of the areas that is burning has not burned for 40 years. Clearly, some clear cutting was needed during that  40 year time span and apparently was never done.

As for harboring water, California voters approved some type of water reservoir system several years ago and the money was used to create methods for moving water from the Northern Part of the State to the Southern Part of the State. The Analogy that DailyPUMA can think of is having solar energy without the battery back-up for off peak hours. Solar is great when the sun is out, but when the Sunsets come was extra energy during the day stored to batteries or some type of dynamo system for the night time? Same thing with water, when it rains a lot, sure it is useful to be able to move the water around, but it's also useful to have stored water to move around when necessary and during droughts.

Trump's assertions about clear cutting and water storage were immediately ridiculed by the Progressive Movement and the State of California. Here's hoping California Progressives recognize the need for some clear cutting and for the storage of water throughout California so rainy seasons result in water saved for drought seasons and for fires.

If Trump didn't say it, it would never be said, and we would be living the equivalent of fake news in California in which the truth is never spoken if it makes the existing Progressive Movement look less than stellar.

DailyPUMA has an alarming theory that whenever Trump makes a statement that should be taken to heart, and isn't, it just solidifies his own base and the possibly unnecessary war mongering mentality he gets fixated on. Maybe if Progressives warmed up to some of Trump's observations, the need to fight wars and run up military costs wouldn't be so prevalent.

The second theory is the best way to win the swing voters over to Trump's side is to periodically make comments that are not that outrageous, but get amped up as being outrageous by his zealous detractors.
