Trump's blame game on sewage spill is a distraction from real issues

so here we go again with trump pointing fingers at Maryland's Governor Wes Moore over the Potomac River sewage spill, claiming that local leadership is incompetent while completely ignoring the fact that the pipe is under the jurisdiction of DC Water and the federal government, it's like he's trying to play a game of hot potato with serious environmental issues instead of taking responsibility for his own administration's failures, I mean, how can he say there's a "massive Ecological Disaster" when his own administration has been accused of "shirking its responsibility" on repairs and cleanup, as pointed out by Moore's spokesman, and let's not forget that while trump is on social media blaming local leaders, the DC Water CEO is saying they've been coordinating with the EPA since the pipe collapsed, it just shows how out of touch he is with the facts, and with the government funding pause affecting FEMA's ability to respond, it feels like trump is throwing a tantrum instead of working towards solutions, this kind of behavior is not just frustrating but it undermines the very democratic norms and accountability we need in times of crisis, we deserve leaders who own up to their responsibilities instead of deflecting blame to score political points, it's time we hold him accountable for his actions and demand better for our communities, you can read more about this situation here: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-lashes-out-at-maryland-governors-over-potomac-river-sewage-spill-response

Trump lashes out at Maryland governor's over Potomac River sewage spill response
President Donald Trump took aim at Maryland Gov. Wes Moore even though a District of Columbia-based water authority and the federal government have jurisdiction over the busted pipe.
