Summary
California officials warned that Trump’s order to release massive amounts of water nearly caused severe flooding for farmers.
Trump boasted about the move, claiming it would help fight wildfires, but experts said the water couldn’t reach affected areas, which are over 200 miles away.
The Army Corps of Engineers initially planned to release water at maximum capacity but scaled back after urgent pushback.
Experts warned the water could have been better used months later for irrigation.
The drought in summer 2025 will be Trumps Drought.
Alongside Trumps Inflation.
No it won’t. They’ll spin it as poor planning and mismanagement by liberal California, and their base will eat it up.
Right, but what real news will there be to report on it?
Don’t need those migrant workers to pick crops if there aren’t any crops.
Stable genius.
He will blame whatever reactionary dogwhistle that’s currently plaguing the fascist MAGAts.
