What does any of that have to do with a New California? Trump is the president. I'm pretty sure it's similar in Canada, but there is a balance of powers in the US Government. Trump would have almost nothing to do with splitting the state in two. The people who want to split the state in two usually claim that it is because the northern and the southern parts are extremely different culturally which is absolutely true. I'm sick of people blaming Trump for everything.You never had Trump before. And that forest fire and subsequent flooding was exceptionally nasty so some people may have taken note.
Also, I'm not sure what the forest fires have to do with a state splitting in two. We get bad fires every year. This one was a little worse than usual because of the landslides and the location.
