'He’s just blatantly lying': Trump called out over 'ecological disaster' blame game

The internet was quick to correct President Donald Trump on Monday after he blasted Maryland's Democratic governor over a sewage spill in the Potomac River, then was mocked for lying about it.

Trump tried to hurl an attack at one of his critics, Gov. Wes Moore, over the incident and claimed via his Truth Social platform that Moore couldn't handle managing the emergency.
