Trump's Effort to Release Billions of Gallons of California's Water

Representatives from the Department of Government Efficiency repeatedly pressured the head of a United States water management agency to open a major California pump system in late January, intending to release a huge amount of water south toward Los Angeles -- even though the water would have never made it to the fire-scarred metropolis.

DOGE sent two young staffers to release water in California for a political photo op. Eventually water was released by the Army Corp far from the actual wildfires, wasting water that will be needed by farmers in the summer for irrigation. #doge #fires #CA www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a ...

He's got this ignorant hero complex... thinking he's the only smart one in the room... and everyone is missing what is so oblivious to him.

I wonder if that means his giant, Columbia River diverting faucet won't work either?

"You have millions of gallons of water pouring down from the north with the snow caps and Canada, and all pouring down and they have essentially a very large faucet," Trump said this month. "We call that faucet the Columbia River. You turn the faucet and it takes one day to turn it, and it's massive, it's as big as the wall of that building right there behind you. You turn that, and all of that water aimlessly goes into the Pacific (Ocean), and if they turned it back, all of that water would come right down here and right into Los Angeles," he said.
LOL. Promises made. Promises not kept.

The cruelty is the point.

Wasted. And water rates will go up late in the season for those GOP-loving farmers as drought kicks in.
But, this is the guy one of his Wharton profs described as about the dumbest student he ever had.

Trump's most redeeming quality is that sometimes his stupidity outpaces his obsession with punishing people.
