Trump Tells Feds To Get Involved With Massive Sewage Leak On Potomac

Funny how this is just barely making the news

If it was an oil tanker or something they could Blame Trump for, the Credentialed Media and Democrats would be all over it

Trump Directs Federal Officials to Get Involved in Potomac Sewage Crisis

President Donald Trump weighed in on the ongoing Potomac River sewage crisis, stating on Monday that he was “directing Federal Authorities to immediately provide all necessary Management, Direction, and Coordination to protect” the river.

In a Truth Social post, Trump stated that the ongoing sewage crisis that was “unfolding” was the “result of the Gross Mismanagement of Local Democrat Leaders,” like Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D). Trump went on to state the Moore “is the same Governor who cannot rebuild a Bridge.”

“There is a massive Ecological Disaster unfolding in the Potomac River as a result of the Gross Mismanagement of Local Democrat Leaders, particularly, Governor Wes Moore, of Maryland,” Trump said. “A sewer line breach in Maryland has caused millions of gallons of raw sewage to be dumped into the Potomac River, a result of incompetent Local and State Management of Essential Waste Management Systems.”

Trump continued to point out that it was “clear Local Authorities cannot adequately handle this calamity.”

“Therefore, I am directing Federal Authorities to immediately provide all necessary Management, Direction, and Coordination to protect the Potomac, the Water Supply in the Capital Region, and our treasured National Resources in our Nation’s Capital City,” Trump added.

This has been going on since January 19th, and has so far not been fixed. Damned near a month later, and they still expect it to take 4 to 6 weeks to be fixed.

The NY Times, and many other outlets, are Upset that Trump dared to make this pronouncement. Getting beyond that

“Whether it’s 200 million or 300 million gallons, this is an extraordinary ecological and public health disaster,” said Tom Kiernan, the president and chief executive of the conservation group American Rivers, who often rows on the Potomac, and grew up kayaking on the river.

Authorities have not said when people can safely resume activities on the river. Crews with D.C. Water are currently diverting sewage from the broken pipe through a section of the C&O Canal, which runs along the Potomac from Washington to Cumberland, Md.

The Potomac at that point hasn’t been truly safe for a long time. Maybe we should stop wasting all that time and money on the climate scam and deal with real environmental issues, eh?
