President Trump went off on the Democrats in Maryland, Virginia, and DC on Tuesday for causing hundreds of millions of raw sewage to spill into the Potomac River, which flows into the Chesapeake Bay through both states and the District of Columbia.
Trump posted on Truth Social, “Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., who are responsible for the massive sewage spill in the Potomac River, must get to work, IMMEDIATELY.”
“The two Governors and the Mayor of D.C. must act, IMMEDIATELY. This is a Radical Left caused Environmental Hazard,” Trump continued.
“With all of their talk about carbon footprints and everything else, they’re allowing hundreds of tons of sewage to pour into the Mighty Potomac, making it much less mighty. ACT FAST. I am awaiting your call.”
He further attacked the Democrats for shutting down the government and defunding the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a sewage spill from Montgomery County, Maryland, north of DC, which began on January 19, 2026, was estimated to have discharged nearly 300 million gallons of sewage into the famed river. Meanwhile, DC and Maryland officials still do not have a handle on the crisis, which is killing wildlife and ruining plans for recreation on the river.
President Trump on Monday said he is activating FEMA while slamming Moore’s “Gross Mismanagement” of the situation, adding, “This is the same Governor who cannot rebuild a Bridge.”
Says the guy who is gutting all our environmental protection! SMH.
DC Water hired David Gadis in 2018, even though he was a senior executive at Veolia North America, an engineering firm that later paid $53 million to settle civil claims alleging it contributed to and prolonged Flint’s lead contamination disaster.”
