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.

      Did you expect anything logical out of liberal analysis? They’ve only been wrong on literally everything for the past 200 years.

          Anything any .world user says. Tankies in a nutshell. Which will probably get me called liberal, because all of .world is liberal.
