Farmers plead ‘stop our fields flooding’ as Trump opens dams
Trump gloated Friday about sending billions of gallons of water to southern California.
Summary
California officials warned that Trump’s order to release massive amounts of water nearly caused severe flooding for farmers.
Trump boasted about the move, claiming it would help fight wildfires, but experts said the water couldn’t reach affected areas, which are over 200 miles away.
The Army Corps of Engineers initially planned to release water at maximum capacity but scaled back after urgent pushback.
Experts warned the water could have been better used months later for irrigation.

Why is trump even allowed to do this?
He's not supposed to be, he is just making it clear that he will fire anyone who says no to him.
He’s not, but no one has the power or balls to stop him
Or interest
Everyone is allowed to do anything as they please as long as theres noone enforcing the rules that would forbid it.

This means checks- ans balances are a lie? Where are these systems that characterize democracy in times of need?
They look like they voted in the Trump supporters in every department of checks and balances, democratically.
Funny how this time it was actually a democratic decision to abolish democracy. Back then in Germany the NSDAP reached 30% and then 44% the next year with a heavily rigged election. Gotta give the people what they want I guess...
Congress is in charge of stopping him. Republicans are in charge of Congress.
And the entire judicial branch so he will face no consequences either.
All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
Presidents are supposed to have full power over the executive branch. The problem is that the executive branch now and when the constitution were written ware very different beasts, as the states had much much more autonomy before FDR.
