President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to route more water to Southern California .

Experts say the president's mandate might be a bit fishy as he tries to keep a longstanding campaign promise.

The order comes after Trump initially promised in 2016 to redirect California ’s water runoff south.

He's a lousy governor." Holyoke and Sobel both wonder what Trump will say to Newsom during the president's scheduled visit to see the destruction in Southern California later this week . " Trump might very well bring up the executive order as a talking point," Holyoke said. "I can't imagine him not."
