Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump's truly bizarre social media post

0:09.5

about the military turning on water in California and a bit about Columbia.

0:16.0

Trump has apparently taken his habit of just declaring victory when nothing changed to new heights. To give you
