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.

    This is terrorism and people need to start treating it that way. The State of California should seriously start considering seizure of federal lands and facilities within our territory.

    The state should also start negotiating treaties directly Canada, Mexico and China that circumvent the petty and counterproductive economic warfare enacted by the administration.
