The California Department of Water Resources has shot down President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to play the hero during the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

“The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond,” Trump wrote late Monday on his social media platform Truth Social. “The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER.”

Within hours, the DWP refuted the president’s statement in a post on the social media platform X.

“The military did not enter California,” it wrote. “The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful.”

There was plenty of water, the system was overwhelmed and after this, changes will have to be made. Fire season usually runs from June to October, outside of fire season, that's when maintenance is done. Insurers here are now talking that fire season may have to be considered year round now.

But his buffoon supporters will still believe it as they love to hate on California, despite they would even be more poor if it wasn't for us.
