“President Donald Trump declared victory on Friday in his long-running water war with California, boasting he sent billions of gallons south — but local officials say they narrowly prevented him from possibly flooding farms,” Politico reports.

“Local officials had to talk the Army Corps of Engineers down after it abruptly alerted them Thursday afternoon it was about to increase flows from two reservoirs to maximum capacity — a move the agency said was in response to Trump directing the federal government to ‘maximize’ water supplies.”

New York Times: Trump officials release water in California that experts say will serve little use.

2. Seems to me Trump is deliberately trying to tank their economy.

3. Trump is lashing out wildly in all directions like a rampaging elephant- who will get stomped next?

4. Extremely ignorant autocrat giving arbitrary orders and spineless minions doing

whatever they are told regardless of the supposed duties of the positions they occupy... What could go wrong?
