They want to waste the water so they can create a drought in the late summer.
So we can all understand what is happening, I mapped it out. The dams empty into Tulare Lake. The fires are in LA and contained. The article notes that there has been no plan released to transport the water from Tulare Lake to the fires (that are contained and have sufficient water). Historians will laugh at how stupid this is.
Indianapolis: After weeks of efforts, we have contained the fire and have things under control.
Trump: I got this. Force Chicago to have more water!! Done 👌
Why are federal shitbags allowed to tamper with state dams? Isn’t their whole thing about “states’ rights?” No, wait, that was actually about owning people. My bad.
It was not immediately clear how or where the federal government intends to transport the water
Ok then.
Are there any federal officials left with any integrity? Like everyone is just doing any damn thing this fuckhead wants. Are those dams even federal property?
Exactly! That pos has the attention span of a potato. Just tell him “yes sir, all done” and he’ll forget all about it
What a complete and utter moron. He’s just wasting water to try and make some kind of political point.
“I don’t know where this water is going, but this is the wrong time of year to be releasing water from these reservoirs. It’s vitally important that we fill our reservoirs in the rainy season so water is available for farms and cities later in the summer,” Gleick said.
“This is going to hurt farmers,” Vink said. “This takes water out of their summer irrigation portfolio.”
I guess we won’t need those migrant workers to pick crops if the farmers can’t grow them in the first place. What a stable genius.
What I’m finding weird about this wave of Trumpisms is how Californians are apparently content being abused by Trump like that. I mean you’re the biggest economy in the Union so act like it.
38.3% of California voted for this.
So… his initial complaint was that there was not enough water being released to fight the wildfires, right?
But they’re not out of control any more, are they?
So the reason for doing this is, I guess, if you keep everything wet, there won’t be a fire?
It’s to waste water so California is hurting come summertime
Destroying America one State at a time, exactly what putin hired him to do.
Destroying the big Denocrat votong blocks.
Farmers, that’s your summer water going downstream.
I pass your signs complaining about Democrat’s policies or praising Trump. I’m keeping an eye out this summer knowing this happened.
They gonna blame Newsom. Trump wants to undermine the governor so he doesn’t get reelected in 2026. So he can install a crony.
My thoughts exactly. Releasing water before the growing season begins makes zero sense. They said it wasn’t to make capacity for an upcoming storm either so just pure dumbassery all around.
The San Joaquin Valley drought will also be blamed on liberals, Democrats, and DEI.
Soon: All those Mexicans (sic) stole that water and refuse to work! Thats why you have no food!

This is a states rights issue if there ever was one
Classic Trumpism, making symbolic gestures that are not just pointless, but also actively harmful.
I mean there will be more water down stream for a few days and then absolutely none until they close the dam and let it build back up over a few years…
They don’t need the water now. It’s for farmland, but this isn’t the time of year they need it.
So what you’re saying is it’s an investment in draining off the needed water for the future. Meaning in a few years when they are running low on reserved water for crops California will lose revenue on crops, and food prices will increase across the U.S.
Try later this summer. We stock up rain during our rainy season, which is now. He’s trying to tank our economy because he hates California.
Californian droughts are simple, just turn open those big taps that those dummies have turned off for some reason
What a stable genius you guys have elected
Good thing he can’t be punished for anything he does. Good thing the US citizens are just gonna let him do whatever he wants. Good thing he doesn’t have to involve the state government to enact whatever crazy ideas he has. Good thing blue states won’t be able to protect their residents, like they say they will. Good thing all these leaders have direct access to him, yet none of them will do what’s necessary to stop him.
This shit is gonna spread across the globe, and the only people who will suffer is average person.
This is like the scene in A Bug’s Life when Flik drops all of the seeds.
Would you be so kind as to get out of my head? Thank you so much! 😅
