President Donald Trump claimed Monday night that the military entered California and "turned on the water," but state water officials contend that the president's claim is false.
"The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!" he added.
