    So… his initial complaint was that there was not enough water being released to fight the wildfires, right?

    But they’re not out of control any more, are they?

    So the reason for doing this is, I guess, if you keep everything wet, there won’t be a fire?

      I don’t think there’s much thought process.

      Trump, meanwhile, shared a photo on X of water pouring from a dam, saying: “Photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California.”

      “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 wrote. “I only wish they listened to me six years ago — There would have been no fire!”

      I suspect he’s thinking that releasing more water would keep everything lush and green.
