Yes, the fire was already nearly contained and also the initial water problem wasn't because of water shortage, but because the infrastructure wasn't able to keep up the demand.
The water that trump released, won't even get anywhere close to Los Angeles, it goes (went?) to the ocean 100 miles away from the city.
Those dams were build to prevent floods in the area in spring, and are used to provide water for farmers. So this move could cause a food shortage.
This water can't be physically used by Los Angeles, because it isn't even physically connected. Trump thinks that because the dam is on top of the map, it has to go down.
What kind of protections though he is in violation of NAFTA2 erm.. USMCA that he negotiated himself. Technically what he is doing is illegal, but Republican Congress is letting him do it.
It is much easier to destroy than build something. I'm sure putin is also telling him what to do.
For example he recently suspended military aid to Ukraine which will result in deleting of anti missile defense. Well, but also in January Russia changed strategy when attacking civilians making them require more missiles. Looks like putin knew this would happen 2 months earlier.
trump was quite ambiguous about Ukraine until Gabbard was confirmed, I think the change was even the same day. Gabbard now has access to all our intelligence.
Don't take this as defense of trump, but it is crystal clear that he doesn't give a shit about US. He clearly is trying to destroy it. It no longer looks like incompetence like in first term, but like a pure malice, he isn't even trying to hide it anymore.
So far it looks like those tariffs are used to making killing on the stock market. Trump announce them, stock falls, he and his friends purchases them at the low and then postpones tariffs. And repeat.
At the same time they are making money trump is still ruining alliances like putin wanted.
Also contact your House rep (whether it is Democrat or Republican, yes they might ignore, but without you complaining it is much easier to do) to vote against it
It's more that trump won't have problem with this.
