Officials in California have revealed that President Donald Trump nearly flooded the region’s farms when his administration tried to send an excessive amount of water south, a feat he bragged about on Friday.

“Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory!” Trump gloated in a Truth Social post.

Experts told The New York Times that the water released by the Army Corps on Friday has no way of reaching the region affected by the wildfires, which is over 200 miles away, and could have been useful to farmers months from now as irrigation.

Fun fact: all those farmers probably voted for Trump, and now they get to experience the devastation he promised them.

    And they voted for him again. And still think he is doing the right thing.

    Like, this will probably pivot to be "anti woke " flooding.

    I watched a man that owns a trucking company rip apart, bit by bit, some y'all quaeda YouTuber claiming that tariffs weren't going to cause prices to go up and fuel prices would come down. That trucking company owner has no degree but plenty of sense. Would there were more like him.
