Trump Takes Over Potomac River Disaster After Democrat Mismanagement

On Jan. 19, a six foot concrete pipe cracked after heavy ice and freezing, leaving remnants of toilet paper, sewage, and “sanitary products” to flow into the heart of Washington, D.C.. Local officials estimate that repairs will take up to 10 months, meaning that celebrations for America’s 250th birthday could be heavily impacted.
