Trump on the reflecting pool: “We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible.” 😭

1. "many additional people have been arrested"???

WTH! Is this true?

Or is this just the rantings of a sick and delusional person?

[regnaD kciN]

3. It seems ONE person has been arrested...

...apparently for doing nothing more than touching a part of the peeled-off coating that had floated to the surface. Which, in the minds of the Fauxian media, is absolute proof that this algae is the fault of a massive radical left conspiracy to sabotage the Reflecting Pool and humiliate Trump/America on its 250th anniversary.

2. In other words, he is going to pay them more of our money

To patch the job they botched in the first place.

[canetoad]

11. Plus travel expenses

To Camp David.

[Emile]

4. How much more of tax payers money are you giving this crook?

[Xavier Breath]

5. How long will it take to get the swim-up bar and waterslide installed?

[maxrandb]

6. They will keep fucking lying to America

UNTIL THE FUCKING MEDIA STOPS PLAYING THEIR FUCKING "IT COULD BE THIS...IT COULD BE THAT, HE SAID-SHE SAID" FUCKING BULLSHIT.

The reason he believes he can get away with this LIE, is BECAUSE THE FUCKING PRESS HAS NEVER HELD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL HIS PREVIOUS LIES.

[Blue Owl]

7. Why isn't tRump wallowing in his own filth?

[Wiz Imp]

8. Proving again what a Pathetic Liar he is

There was no vandalism. The paint/coating came loose on its own. A reminder that there are webcams showing this area 24/7. Any vandalism would have been caught on camera. The fact thaat nothing was seen on the webcams tells you all you need to know about the validity of Trump's claims. Also, the only corrosive and destructive chemicals poured in the pool were done by National Park Service employees.

9. This is exactly the kind of crap that such corruption looks like. It's so mixed in that nothing is on the level or can

work properly

[RockRaven]

10. Will any of the generally worthless DC press bother to ask him if the obviously shoddy work

was rushed and half-assed to meet the arbitrary deadline of his dumb birthday instead of using industry best practices which would have taken longer?

[struggle4progress]

12. "My pool guy is gonna absolutely adore me before this is over!"

18. The algae has formed a vague image of a shrimp boat

NOW I get it--Trump is honoring Gump!

[canetoad]

19. Yes, I can see that

Also seeing a GOP elephant on its side.

[yellowcanine]

26. Agree. It is a GOP Heffalump!

[displacedvermoter]

29. Kinda reminds me of the Nazca line figures,

although those were created by a people of superior artistic and engineering skills...

[bif]

14. Way to focus on the important things.

Frikken nob.

[msongs]

15. is the fake media let him get away with this bullsh*t claim?

[Rob H.]

16. No way the orange oaf wrote any of that

Not enough bloviating hyperbole and too few randomly capitalized words.

[DFW]

17. Of course, with one good, old fashioned time machine

He could go back, decide not to touch the Reflecting Pool at all, and save us a lot of time, money, and embarrassing headlines. Come to think of it, while he's at it, there is this ballroom thing to consider as well................

[PJMcK]

25. And a couple of elections... (n/t)

[yellowcanine]

20. But the National Guard is standing watch so no worry!

No one will steal the algae or make mocking videos of it on the internets!

24. Maybe the Epstein files are hidden under the algae?

It could be true.

[muriel_volestrangler]

21. "some form of blade or knife, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade" - that was no blade,

it was a space laser, I tell ya!

If the Republicans ever get as far invoking the 25th amendment, this screed will be evidence.

[Vinca]

22. Sure wish I could strip paint that easily. If it only took one gash of a blade, I'd be so far ahead of the game.

[Lovie777]

27. WH lawn was trashed during shithole's party............

corporate media cover -0-.

[CousinIT]

28. WHO poured corrosive chemicals into it?

HIS OWN CONTRACTORS DID THAT. They poured peroxide in there - GALLONS of it!

[BadgerKid]

30. He had to create a swamp in order to drain the swamp. N/t
