At least some people are taking the fact that Trump is losing his mind seriously:
He was even worse today with the NATO Secretary. It’s getting very bad.

I know you know this but I might as well post it anyway:
“The Army Corps of Engineers colonel responsible for releasing water from two California reservoirs at President Donald Trump’s direction in January knew that it was unlikely to reach the southern part of the state as Trump had promised, according to a memo obtained by The Washington Post.”
“A memo written four days after the release, obtained by The Post through a public records request, shows how federal officials rushed ahead with the plan to release irrigation water despite objections from the state’s elected officials and some local farmers.” “Col. Chad W. Caldwell, commander of the Army Corps’ Sacramento district, wrote that the water that poured out of Lake Kaweah and Success Lake ‘could not be delivered to Southern California directly.'” “the episode, a week and a half into Trump’s second term, drew criticism from farmers and officials from both parties in the Central Valley.”
“Many were alarmed when they found out.” “For the farmers in the Central Valley, it was not irrigation season, and this was their precious summer supply.” “Caldwell soon heard from elected officials and others in the Central Valley, including Republican Reps. Vince Fong and David G. Valadao, ‘to ask why the water was being released as it was typical to reserve as much water as possible for the summer growing season.'” “The Army Corps turned off the spigot Feb. 2 after letting out 2.511 billion gallons, according to Caldwell.”
He went on:
Trump: "They have a lot of water going down throughout California all coming out from the Pacific Northwest. Even some from Canada. Thank you Canada very much. Next thing you know they'll want to turn the water off." pic.twitter.com/xbeFOG021h

I don’t think I need to explain. I guess he really believes this.
He has the nuclear codes.
