I would hope that President Trump will go there and inspect the dam himself with the Army Corps of Engineers. Then the price of $200 million for repairs may drop way below that. President Trump does not like to get snookered by contractors. Many have tried and failed.

Imagine if President Trump did nothing and people died. He has to at least take their phone calls.

Would Brown sign the aid for Trump under the same circumstances?

Hope it’ll actually be spent on what it’s supposed to be...

Trump should take the money from Federal funds for CA’s sanctuary cities. Let the Dems fight that.

Unlike Obama with red states disasters.

Money for "potential" failure......No homes damaged, no one died, no rescues....

I don't understand why they are getting OUR money....let them use State money.

CALIFORNIA DAMS LAGGING BEHIND INSPECTION SCHEDULES

...and may be operating without an emergency action plan.

Paging the POTUS....

Only because of the dearth of realist Trump posts on here; this will have to do for my posting. I wish for Conservative hegemony worldwide but have you all seen the way in which DJT has been coming apart on Twitter today? Truly dreadful..

He’s the president of the whole country, not just the red states.

[Buckeye McFrog]

He’s the President. He should be above the sort of petty politics Democrats typically play on stuff like this.

Trump could offer the money as a federal loan. If California accepts and then misses a payment...foreclose on California.

Both sides don't have a choice: if the emergency spillway at Oroville Dam collapses, we're taking a flooding disaster that could cost trillions of dollars.

[Popman]

Trump is president of all the people, not just the ones that like him...

He’s pouring coal on their moronic heads...

They don’t even know it...

[georgiegirl]

Thank you Washington Times for getting the headline right and distinguishing between ALL Californians and “Democrat” Californians. Even some on FR have difficulty with the difference.

[polymuser]

It’s a possible/likely emergency situation for U.S. citizens (many conservatives up there, btw). Trump is doing right.

But, he needs to require a full compilation of Oroville Dam maintenance and CDWR records for White House review, to make public the root causes of this fiasco, and then demand Cali redirect money to infrastructure repairs for the safety of the citizens.

No good deed goes unpunished.
