When you think of it a "stream of consciousness" candidate is perfect for perceiving, processing, and triggering a crowds emotions, (as a cheerleader/motivational speaker) but they'll fail as an actual leader because the don't think of consequences before speaking as their mind isn't wired for logic.

Trump is a businessman. He has lived his entire life in the boardroom. In the boardroom when Trump says "X" everyone in that room will most likely believe him - because all of those people either work for Trump, or want to do business with Trump. He doesn't understand that everything he says will be questioned.
It's very obvious to see what happened here. Trump went to Fresno, California, and they all told him the same exact story. The farmers all told him that some government agency has shut off water to protect some silly fish. And this story is very true - but it has nothing to do with the drought. Trump talked to a handful of farmers, heard what they had to say, and then just lumped it together with the California drought.
The issue is complicated, but it seems water to the farmers is being turned off for multiple reasons - mostly because of the drought. There is also some discussion about the EPA turning off a source of water because of salmon. If the EPA reverses that decision and turns that water back on... We are still in a drought and the farmer's water is still reduced.
Trump just says what people wants to hear. If it's so freaking easy to solve our drought, why hasn't someone done it already?
