Feeling confused, amused, bewildered or overwhelmed yet? It's working than, it's the Trump team's strategy.

Is there any explanation to him doing this other than him clogging a low flow toilet?

Because Biden opposed him.

Cynically, it increases US water usage and will make water more expensive in the US, allowing him and his ilk to push for an invasion of Canada.

That....took a turn at the end there. I was with you, up until the Canada part. Am I missing context here, or is that as random to everyone else as it is to me?

Trump wants Canada to be part of the US. It's been a thing since the start of his term.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

He has already made multiple comments on how he wants free access to Canadian water.

It was also a significant issue that almost derailed the original NAFTA, and is the reason that agreement had some of its nastier trap regulations.

He is already refusing to honor decades old agreements on the Columbia River, because he wants to just take it all.

If his goons create shortages in the US, they can work public opinion into trying to take it from Canada.
