Redirect those rivers so the delta is elsewhere and those species have to deal. Then there's the back-flooding of saline sea-water which the outflow of fresh water was pushing back and it destroys the farmland.
None of these consequences are necessarily indicating that the costs would outweigh the benefits, but it's not so easy as, "Just redirect the river to where the water is needed."
There's no way the subtle nuances of a complicated issue gets past such an erudite leader as Trump. I'm sure he understands it so well that as soon as Fox reported the issue he was right there with the immediate and correct answer.
Anything else you hear is fake news.
