He doesn’t know that this will
make things worse!!! He also
Doesn’t understand that by
the time he knows it’s going to
take water away from the farmers when they need it
most? Nice Job Orange Fuckface!!!
I was thinking about this before I went to bed. They need to sue for negligence. This was beyond reckless behavior and now people are going to see real harm. This administration is going to be buried in the courts the entire time.
He wants to create another crisis. As many as possible. They want revolting citizens so they can justify the permanent martial law that project 2025 requires.
He is wanting to have a food shortage in the summer because of no water for farms in the Central Valley. Doesn’t he know most people in the Central Valley are MAGAts?
Thankfully we have a target large network of food banks so we do our best to take care of those who are in need year round. Our usual plethora of fresh fruit & veggies might just be a little tight, so the canned goods will have to suffice.
Trump knows that California is a powerful and... Democratic state. He wants to subdue it so that it does not resist his dictatorship. Was this incompetence or malice?
"..There are two major problems, water experts said: The newly released water will not flow to Los Angeles, and it is being wasted by being released during the wet winter season..."
If they can't water the crops in the Central Valley this summer, that will cause food prices to go up since a majority of our produce comes from there... But damn, eggs for $3.50 a dozen... 🤦
Can the users sue him or the federal government for releasing their water? Not sure if California has the same water rights laws like Colorado, but if that water was intended for downstream users who own the rights, maybe a lawsuit is in order.
You don't honestly think the intent was "Mistaken" do you?
People need to stop posting Memes that characterize tRump as irrational, delusional or dumb. He is in full understanding of the impact of the things he does.
This is the "how hard can it be?" approach to politics - Umberto Eco called it "the cult of action for action’s sake...Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection." The last two weeks have been the embodiment of this identifier of fascism.
This is so insane. I have to wonder if he didn't do this on purpose to cause the CA crops to fail in the summer. I know all those farmers in central CA voted for him. I have to wonder what they're thinking.

He has addressed it. He is continuing to help support California navigate through this horrendous disaster. He is focused on real issues. He has repeatedly called out Trump for his dishonesty and incompetence
Your stupid if you think it was to fight fired he did it to attack California and cause damage he’s not dumb he took an excuse his base wouldn’t think twice about and dumped valuable water to FUCK with California PERIOD your in a war and don’t even know it
It's not a failure, it's a goal. There is purpose behind every one of his actions, and you can bet, given his friendship with Putin and Elon, it's for nefarious ends.
Our new administration has no intention of doing anything of any substance and I for one am not surprised. They can just say they did stuff and that people loved it. Wake up people we have elected a felon and he will not stop until he has ruined everything.
Don’t forget his billionaire buddies the Resnicks who control so much of the water in California. They’ll probably make a shit ton of money out of this somehow.
Pointing out his failures is easy. Coming up with plans that us private citizens can carry out is another (where are our representatives???). We tried voting. We tried protest. What is left?
For God's sake, if you work in any federal agency in California and Trump calls you, just say "yes sir" but don't do it. Then just tell him the next day there must have been some static, and you thought he said the opposite. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
Central California girl here. It took 3 days before there was anything on the local news about this. I don’t want to see/hear one word from the local counties Farm Bureau come the summer months and irrigation water is not available! They supported this lunatic with money and votes!
It has be done. The water is gone. What exactly can be done about it but reporting it? It has been reported. Add it to the growing list of shit Trump is going to do.
They knew exactly what they were doing. They want California to run out of water. Why is everyone surprised and why is everyone sticking their head in the sand? JFC, in the end, the survivors of this coup will be lined up & forced to view the atrocities just like the Germans.
Oh my G ye are so fucked. The rapist is going to do untold damage to the US and there is a wee part of me that’s here for all of it.
This is from a once big time admirer of all things American, now all I have is distrust and distain for you.
A "very stable genuis" makes a rare mistake...well, he does know more than the army Generals as he said in the past, despite being a draft dodger in his youth.
Maybe Trump took a night course on water management, too!?
Anything is possible with this asshole...
Because Trump works for Putin and Xi. If there is a dry summer it may kill California’s economy and therefore do serious damage to the US economy because Cali makes up 14% of US GDP.
There should have been safeguards in place against letting any idiot do anything he wants with no knowledge of the consequences. Are the states not able to defend against such actions?
The sad irony is that the Central Valley farmers will be the most affected by the wasted water, yet the majority voted for him. It’s a very MAGA area of California and they like to blame everything on Gov Newsom. How will they explain this?
Hell No! Most media networks will, but many @msnbc.com hosts have reported on it. Explaining to their audiences the devastating consequences as the result of trumps actions. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com had Adam Schiff on last night.
There should be a lesson here for GOP Senators—Gabbard, Kennedy & Patel are completely unqualified for the jobs. If confirmed, what fresh hell will they bring to this country?
Of course we are
The media is totally in the Trump sycophant camp
They’d have nothing to talk about without him
If we did analysis of news coverage during the Biden admin I would guess that trumps name was mentioned 4:1
Yes we are. Because, our “exceptionalism” won’t let us admit that an idiot is POTUS. This is better than some DEI woman. This shit show brought to you by…..MAGA.
@governor.ca.gov didn't know The central valley= #GOP. Someone found a guy that knew a guy that worked for the county that had keys to access what is a very highly secure area
I had a water distribution certificate for CA.
U literally have to pass many gates, cameras to get to these SECURE areas
Can we track it, and collect experts, drill down a message one-pager AND a short documentary to be released in the summer when the droughts come up? Trump's admin depends on a short attention span .. so we need to be able to remind them they caused the pain they are feeling it WHEN they feel it.
more like 1/3 (of eligible voters). Not even a majority of those who voted. Just slightly more than voted for Harris. And that is assuming that Musk's brag that he stole the election is just a brag and not really true. But, we get your point.
assuming elections persist here...
though this time the "winner" (we'll put aside the possibility of a stolen election for now)actuallly got the most votes AND the most electors in the electoral college, but as I said, about 1/3 of voters did not vote at all & enough voters voted for a spoiler to...
...give the felon a win without having a majority of the cast vote, and far from having a majority of the eligible vote. Without the electoral college he still would have won this time, though w/o the electoral college he'd have lost in 2016, so it is really hard to say what the situation wd b now.
Because he is a fucking bully and gets away with everything. His followers are happy to kill people who are against him, he has proven that. He is destroying California and denying any help unless we support his agenda.
WHY DID GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM ALLOW trump TO DO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE trump KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT NOTHING HE'S A BORN IDIOT NOW CA PEOPLE WILL PAY WHEN THE NEXT WILDFIRES HIT THERE STATE AGAIN AND WHAT ABOUT THE FARMERS WHO RELY ON THIS WATER
They keep allowing him to take credit for a “success” when he has put those farmers in a precarious position next growing season when they may need the exact water that is now evaporating.
I watched several videos about this today on YouTube where it is discussed thoroughly by Californians on how awful this stunt was. I recommend everyone watch them. His stupid move will be devastating for agriculture and the environment.
Most of these farmers are Republicans and most likely voted for Felon 47. Farmers are one reason Bakersfield is so Republican and they supported McCarthy. California has the best water management in this country, given how complex the weather conditions of Cal.
The only silver lining is that the farmers overwhelmingly voted for Trump and were a major source of funding for him. I won't lose any sleep if they get screwed.
He's just plain stupid and doesn't understand anything aside from how can I make more money and spread misery all over the land. His insane war on the environment will kill us all if the war against the Muslin World he's willing to start over Gaza don't ignite WW3. American voter are stupid cows.
Not hyperbole, but this is straight up vindictive vandalism of a blue state for years to come. He’s used an environmental tragedy to cause another ON PURPOSE.
I have zero fvks , prices are already high , no migrants to pick crops, no migrants to work slaughter houses, no migrants to pick the fvkn eggs
I’ll survive, the price of eggs or veggies isn’t gonna hurt me
But it will hurt plenty of others including and mostly MAGAts … i hope
This is what happens when you open your mouth without engaging your brain, as Trump is uncontrollably inclined to do, - or - when you're just an echo chamber for the vested interests pissing in your ear.
No, we are aware but there’s nothing we can do except another lawsuit which hopefully happens. He was always going to break everything out of stupidity. We are having to mitigate the largest harms. My condolences to that community. It could be any of ours next because he is a vile useless destroyer.
I disagree. The southern San Joaquin Valley is largely Republican. All those almond growers, who export the majority of their yields, are Republicans. It was a stupid and frankly dangerous act.
I obviously didn’t vote for him, but there are many (dumb) Californians that did. In fact there are more MAGA idiots here than the full population of states that he won in the election. If he is trying to get revenge on us, he is hopefully turning 6 million of his supporters against him FINALLY!
Read Curtis Yarvin’s Dark Enlightenment manifesto. NRx
This is Musk and Vance’s philosophical mentor. They follow his “teachings”
Burning it down is the goal. A Technocracy is the goal. Trump will merely be an impediment as soon as he dismantles government. Palace intrigue awaits.
It's not just California he's setting up for failure. We produce 1/4 of the food for the United States. You thought eggs were bad, it's about to get really nasty. And yes we do grain crops too.
My understanding is he did this without informing California officials. They had to scramble to get things under control. He also put the Central Valley in jeopardy of flooding.
There wasn't a thought in his mind about helping California in any way at all.
He didn't give a shit about the CÀ fire victims.
This was a deliberate revenge tactic against CA.
As others have stated, he's trying to sabotage CA – then he'll refuse us federal assistance when there's a crisis.
I don’t have a count on how many times I have said and typed fucking fucker since the orange turd took a nuke to our constitution. Considering taking a trip to Washington.
There's no shame in not knowing but there is a heap of lasting stinking shame in not getting informed. Or worse not consulting those who know and can share informed information before you do stupid stuff that hurts the Almerican people!!!
It’s done… they obeyed… not much else to say… we’ll probably ok this year… but it’s a a cumulative thing… but they obeyed… they did not have to … but they did… so seems we are fucked bc people are hair going to do what they don’t have to do…
Yes, but what's scary is that "they" are the military (Army Corps of Engineers).
And what is the number one thing that all military people abide by above all else?
To follow orders.
The president orders it, and the military falls in line whether it's right or wrong.
The implications are frightening.
Yeah.. but CA could have pushed back.. the people that operate it.. they could have said fuck no… and then it would have been a stand off… the Army Core is not shooting anyone… they’d have shrugged and walked off.. it’s military to an extent.. but it’s actually a bunch of engineers..
Yeah.. I get it… I assume you are from CA? Bc you know how territorial they are about water… hoping that this was a wake up call and someone in government said DO NOT obey without speaking to upper management…on the weekend? Hard pass..nope wait for Monday…I’m hoping it counts caught the off guard..
My roommates did. It's been fun to watch them squirm and I ask questions just to be funny. I'm like heyyy are the eggs cheaper yet??? Did you see the gas prices today? Did he heal global inflation yet?
I'm also legitimately autistic and I ask it in a way that seems just curious and it's hilarious😂

make things worse!!! He also
Doesn’t understand that by

take water away from the farmers when they need it
most? Nice Job Orange Fuckface!!!
What stw the trying to do
Wipe out the population, and have the world to themselves?

"..There are two major problems, water experts said: The newly released water will not flow to Los Angeles, and it is being wasted by being released during the wet winter season..."
In other words maybe he wanted to purposely deplete Cali’s water supply.
Diabolical or Dumb??
Does it matter?
Because the results are the same.

There is a full blown crisis with an unelected criminal taking full control of the US government.
Arrest Musk, and his private hacker crew.
He is preparing to say "let it burn"
We all need to get those containers and fill them with water when it rains
Can't we go to court when he requests stupid AF 💩 and stop it???????
We still have to try voting. 💙🙏💔
Not that it’s gonna matter the water is already gone
Years ago when bay area skies went orange due to wildfires in northern CA, most people on the east coast didn't know it was happening.
This was an attack.
Make no mistake

When the central valley goes up in flames his comrades with put him on blast.
I'm just sitting here waiting. They are probably having a good laugh now but just wait.
"He who laughs last"......
It can take years to regrow trees before they fruit.
It's not just one season effected. It's potentially years.

That is the problem with the water shortages.

"If Trump ordered you to jump off a cliff..."
Trump is very dangerous for the entire world
Can't believe this country is brimming with 77 million idiots.
And, no, this has NOTHING to do with understanding the struggles of American families.
America is being suffocated by a culture of willful ignorance, fake Christianity, and craven entitlement.
I don't know if U know but the #Maga have been infiltrating our polling places since 2016
I feel F-ELON muskrat got control when the #GOP compromised the machines & they just threw out other ballots
And that postal fool also dCHUMP
I have no sympathy for those farmers
He's deporting the labor force.
They are on the bigger side and not quite as fit as the demographic conducting harvests for years.
He eats cheeseburgers.
I’ll survive, the price of eggs or veggies isn’t gonna hurt me

I try to keep an open mind, but there is zero logic being applied here. It's mind-numbingly stupid.
The only logical reason I can think of is that this was just a big middle finger to Gov. Newsom that is meant to cripple Californians. Disgusting.
He doesn't care about people, has his eye on the money.

But to me, it seemed more like a test run to see what would happen if an outlandish order was given. If that's the case, then it was a success.
It's the little things that eventually become big things.
Today, it's opening some flood gates. Tomorrow it's being ordered to occupy a city.
I'm also legitimately autistic and I ask it in a way that seems just curious and it's hilarious😂
Wasting water, rather than doing the right thing.
