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.”
“It is clear Local Authorities cannot adequately handle this calamity. Therefore, I am directing Federal Authorities to immediately provide all necessary Management, Direction, and Coordination to protect the Potomac, the Water Supply in the Capital Region, and our treasured National Resources in our Nation’s Capital City,” Trump said.
Trump added on Tuesday, “The Federal Government is not at all involved with what has taken place, but we can fix it. But remember, even in that case, with the Democrat Shutdown, we’ll have to bring in true Patriots to do the work because many are not working right now.”
Full statement below:
Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., who are responsible for the massive sewage spill in the Potomac River, must get to work, IMMEDIATELY. If they can’t do the job, they have to call me and ask, politely, to get it fixed. The Federal Government is not at all involved with what has taken place, but we can fix it. But remember, even in that case, with the Democrat Shutdown, we’ll have to bring in true Patriots to do the work because many are not working right now.
These Democrat caused Disasters, both River and Shutdown, will only get worse. The two Governors and the Mayor of D.C. must act, IMMEDIATELY. This is a Radical Left caused Environmental Hazard. 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. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
This comes after Maryland Governor Wes Moore blamed Trump for the catastrophe, which started in Maryland.
A spokesperson for Moore credited Trump for the spill, adding, “The Trump Administration has failed to act, shirking its responsibility and putting people’s health at risk.”
