President Trump said the newly renovated Reflecting Pool would likely have to be drained for repairs, and accused people of vandalizing it.

Trump now claims the reflecting pool needs to be drained due to "vandalism" and has effectively assigned criminal liability to non-existent actors who are clearly being framed...by algae.

6. Repairing the not-repaired pool that went green?

Going to take time, effort and money to fix that mess.

Contract some competent people this time.

But those vandals, they are to blame and they are everywhere!

I bet they are antifa and libs!

Trump, like Bibi, sees enemies everywhere.
Are paranoia and blame shifting requirements for the leadership job?

7. Oh, bullshit! The only vandalism was committed by none other than...

...Trump himself.

8. Fuck off, Trump

You stupid c*nt. Nobody believes you

9. Vandals like them who drove over the reflecting pool in their limos?

The Beast alone weighs somewhere over 15,000 pounds plus all of King Traitor von Lardass driving over the delicate clay pipes that carry water for filtration, oxygenation and circulation to prevent algal growth.

10. How shallow is Trump? He is so shallow, he fucked-up a body of shallow water.

11. Also Trump: "I don't take responsibility at all."

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/13/trump-coronavirus-testing-128971

"President Donald Trump on Friday deflected blame for his administration’s lagging ability to test Americans for the coronavirus outbreak, insisting instead — without offering evidence — that fault lies with his predecessor, Barack Obama.

“I don’t take responsibility at all,” Trump said defiantly, pointing to an unspecified “set of circumstances” and “rules, regulations and specifications from a different time.”

The remarks from the president came in response to questions at a Friday press conference about the lack of widespread access to testing, an aspect of his administration’s coronavirus response that has been the subject of widespread, steady criticism. Administration officials told lawmakers yesterday that the U.S. tested about 11,000 people during the first seven weeks of the outbreak — roughly as many as South Korea is testing each day."....

14. Next, Let's Drain the White House and Install a New President!

15. How is this playing on the right?

They wasted money and then lied about it. Now they’re making up stories and arresting people for no reason. And they’re going to drain it again and redo the job.

Like do people on the right just think it’s funny?

18. The funny thing is if they drain the pool and put down

a new epoxy, how much is that going to cost? $1.7 million or $14 million? What to do, grifters, what to do?

[oasis]

17. Trump must answer to live media about this.

His Truth Social posts ain’t gonna get it done.

19. Probably shouldn't have had his motorcade drive through it.
