Trump Blames Maryland Leader for River Bathing in His Own Masterpiece Sewage Soup

KEY POINTS

•A massive sewage pipe burst on January 19 created one of the worst raw sewage spills in U.S. history in the Potomac River.
•President Trump blamed Maryland Governor Wes Moore on Truth Social for the disaster, but the broken pipe is managed by DC Water.
•DC Water crews hit a large rock blocking repairs, delaying fixes by 4 to 6 weeks, while FEMA only joined cleanup Monday.

On January 19, the Potomac River achieved a dubious honor with one of the worst raw sewage spills in U.S. history, courtesy of a busted pipe managed by DC Water, not Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, who Trump blamed faster than the pipe burst. Trump's Truth Social declared local Democrat leaders ’grossly mismanaged’ the disaster, while Moore’s team threw shade at the federal government’s four-week nap on action. Cleanup delay hit a plot twist: crews found a large rock blocking repairs, adding 4-6 weeks to the Potomac’s transformation into a no-swim, no-dog, no-fish zone. FEMA finally joined cleanup Monday, once Trump noticed someone needed help.
