Why does Trump still get away with telling this obvious and damning lie? [View all]

...Trump today:

Acyn @Acyn 8h
Trump: Newsom didn't allow the water to come from the pacific northwest. I demanded that to be open. If that were open. You wouldn't have had the fire because all the sprinklers would've worked in the houses.

Daniel Dale @ddale8 8h
At event after event, President Trump keeps telling an imaginary story about how he supposedly sent water to Los Angeles this winter. He actually sent that water, pointlessly, from one part of the Central Valley to another part of the Central Valley.
