The world sees 200 million gallons of crap going into the Potomac. Donald Trump sees content.
“Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., who are responsible for the massive sewage spill in the Potomac River, must get to work, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump posted on his massive money-losing social-media website on Tuesday.
“If they can’t do the job, they have to call me and ask, politely, to get it fixed.”
The term sh*tposting, never more apt.
Turns out, the two states and the District aren’t “responsible” for the massive sewage spill; the Potomac Interceptor sewage line is under the purview of the EPA, which means, Trump, leaving the situation unresolved, is letting a literal sh*tstorm rain down on folks who gave their electoral votes, three times over, to the other side.
This is what Trump does – when he’s not invading Democrat-run cities and states.
“Apparently, the Trump administration hadn’t gotten the memo that they’re actually supposed to be in charge here,” said Ammar Moussa, a spokesperson for Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat who has some buzz in advance of the 2028 presidential cycle.
“Where the president has failed to act, Maryland has played its part to protect residents, protect drinking water, and ensure accountability,” Moussa said, adding:
“The Potomac isn’t a talking point, and the people of the region deserve serious leadership that meets the moment.”
We all know, of course, that the situation would have been taken care of weeks ago if Trump’s motorcade had to drive by the sewage spill on the way to a weekday or weekend golf outing.
Instead, we have the D.C. Department of Energy and Environment warning residents to avoid the river, a popular location for kayaking and other recreation.
Somebody had better make sure to get that word to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
It’s all yours, Bobby, for the foreseeable.
