President-elect Trump is gearing up for a trip to Los Angeles next week to take a closer look at the aftermath of the wildfires that have been making headlines—and burning up quite a bit of land. It appears that Trump is not only concerned about the fiery chaos but is also coming prepared to give the folks in California a lesson or two on water management. According to him, there’s a plan to demand that water be released from Northern California down south. Apparently, this is a new concept for the Golden State, which has seen its residents turn to creative sources of water, like rain dances and wishes on shooting stars.
In typical Trump fashion, he pointed out that he initially considered a visit the day before but decided it would be much more suitable to do so as President. After all, why not make the trip a little more official? This decision could be seen as a slap in the face to California’s leaders who seem to be fumbling with disaster management like a toddler with a cupcake. So far, there’s been no direct communication between Trump and California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, but one can only imagine how that chat will go. Perhaps it will involve an educational PowerPoint on why controlling water resources efficiently is a good idea.
Meanwhile, speaking of control—and let’s not forget the ever-watchful eyes on TikTok—Trump plans to address the app’s future on Monday. The situation is rather amusing, considering that it’s set to be banned by the weekend due to its Chinese ownership. Just when the Biden administration thought they could “let it slide,” Trump swoops in as the savior of the day. It’s as if someone reminded the current leaders that TikTok’s questionable ties might be more than just dance challenges and lip-sync battles.

Trump assured everyone that a 90-day extension before enforcement of the ban would happen, as it “makes sense.” When one thinks about it, “making sense” isn’t exactly the Biden administration’s forte lately. It’s refreshing to have an incoming President who understands that some things need firm action rather than soft-handed approaches—especially when it comes to national security risks, a phrase the current administration seems to have forgotten.
In another audacious move to kick off his presidency, Trump revealed that he plans to sign an astonishing number of executive orders—over 100, to be precise. This is bound to give the left’s talking heads a bit of indigestion, as the Trump administration prepares to swiftly reverse many of their misguided policies. Most notably, moving the inauguration indoors has been called the “right decision,” avoiding potential hypothermia for politicians unwilling to wear coats in the frigid D.C. air. It seems even Trump’s choices come with common sense and humor, something desperately needed in the political landscape these days.
