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.

        This means checks- ans balances are a lie? Where are these systems that characterize democracy in times of need?

          They look like they voted in the Trump supporters in every department of checks and balances, democratically.

            Funny how this time it was actually a democratic decision to abolish democracy. Back then in Germany the NSDAP reached 30% and then 44% the next year with a heavily rigged election. Gotta give the people what they want I guess…

      He’s not supposed to be, he is just making it clear that he will fire anyone who says no to him.
