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

Officials in California have revealed that President Donald Trump nearly flooded the region’s farms when his administration tried to send an excessive amount of water south, a feat he bragged about on Friday.

“Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory!” Trump gloated in a Truth Social post.

Experts told The New York Times that the water released by the Army Corps on Friday has no way of reaching the region affected by the wildfires, which is over 200 miles away, and could have been useful to farmers months from now as irrigation.

    Isn’t this just going to eventually just run into the ocean? Like, if they can’t use it, it’s just wasted as washing downstream.

      It’s not going towards the fires

      It was kept in the reservoir to water farmland during the summer drought

      It will just flow down to the ocean

      Trump is an idiot
