Farmers plead ‘stop our fields flooding’ as Trump opens dams

www.thedailybeast.com Farmers Plead ‘Stop Our Fields Flooding’ as Trump Opens Dams

Trump gloated Friday about sending billions of gallons of water to southern California.

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.

They are just trying to destroy California.
- Perhaps. Put on your tin foil hats.. Maybe it's to remove the lower socioeconomic class from California through drought, damage, and famine. Thereby making California a republican state because only the rich would be able to afford to rebuild. This means that California would vote red, pushing a large mass of electoral votes towards the other side.
  
  You have the voting demographics of California fundamentally backwards.
  
  Probably. That's why you have to wear a tin foil hat when you read it.
  
  Did you expect anything logical out of liberal analysis? They’ve only been wrong on literally everything for the past 200 years.
  
  Dafuq is a liberal analysis in this context?
  
  Anything any .world user says. Tankies in a nutshell. Which will probably get me called liberal, because all of .world is liberal.
