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.

    No it wont create clothing shortages. There’s enough fast fashion crap already made to keep us modest and warm for decades. I will be rocking that Ocean Pacific t-shirt from high school for another decade at least.

    The medical concerns are somewhat based but cotton comes from many regions.

    But if I smell what the rock is cooking, a nude protest would make for a fun news cycle.
