On 17 March 2017, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a news release stating that the agency had just awarded a $100 million grant to the state of Michigan to upgrade drinking water infrastructure in the city of Flint. Flint began experiencing a crisis in 2014 after insufficiently treated water from the Flint River became the drinking water source for the city, exposing over 100,000 residents to potentially high levels of lead.
Shortly after the EPA’s announcement, conservative outlets published articles crediting “Trump’s EPA” for the $100 million grant, some stating that President Trump had “bestowed” $100 million upon Flint, giving the city its “first real hope” since the start of the water crisis.
