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.

    Destroying the nation’s food supply by flooding fields, deporting the workers, and imposing tarrifs on outside sources of food is objectively bad for the entire nation, and the only people who could possibly benefit are America’s global adversaries.

    Even if Trump is too stupid to know it, the rest of his administration is not. The fact that they haven’t enacted the 25th amendment is a clear indication that hurting America is the goal.

    A hungry crowd is an angry mob, and I’m increasingly worried this will end in mass violence.

      The rest of his administration is absolutely as stupid as he is. After his last cycle he has purged anyone remotely competent.

        There are very smart but evil people working in his administration.

        You just don’t see them giving speeches.

          Also they have to interact with both Musk and Trump on a regular basis, so lets be honest here theyre probably on liquor rotation to keep them from quiting. Prolly have three teams where at any given time two of the teams are blackout drunk.

      I’m hoping it ends in mass class violence
