Trump blames 'sick, deranged people' for Reflecting Pool damage

Trump can't even win a war on algae, what makes him think he can win in Iran?

And we thought he was sending the national guard to the polls, not the pools. Maybe someone misread the memo.

WTF? Doesn't the Reflecting Pool belong to We The People? The local DC cops and Park Police are arresting citizens for sticking their hands in the fucking water or touching pieces of the loose liner? Being charged with vandalism? The regime is out of control. Trump is the vandal.

Folks! Trump’s Play #1: Say something exists that doesn’t. (Vandals hurting the pool) And then eliminating that thing and claiming victory. Trump Play #2 create a story about a conspiracy that doesn’t exist. And then claiming that the fact nobody can find evidence of it - is proof that it exists.

Some causes for the algae; 1.They used Trump bath water to fill it. 2.Antifa persons peed in it. 3. Moron/corrupt contractor has no clue how nature works. 4.

The interesting thing about algae in the reflecting pool is that Trump is in the #EpsteinFiles and he’s willing to do anything to cover it up.

In the same vein, the ballroom will be beset with numerous flaws, from cracking foundation/walls, to mold, etc. It'll need to be demolished/rebuilt fairly quickly just as the reflecting pool. No-bid crony contracts, corruption skimming off funds, rushed construction timeline, & subpar inspections.

The construction could have been perfect, and it still wouldn't have prevented the algea from growing, and the coating would still have been destroyed by the chemicals they used to try and kill it. The reflecting pool is not a swimming pool.

Why isn’t he more angry at the guy he handed the contract to and did such crappy work? All he had to do was not make it algae-filled and peeling for a couple of months.

Absolutely. But in addition he is fine with innocent people being arrested on the ridiculous pretence they are responsible for the damages. He knows the difference but doesn’t care.

It's said Trump told a reporter once that the reason he calls reporters liars all the time is that if he says it enough, people will believe him. That is the history of Trump, and that's why he literally destroyed Washington and no one stopped him.

Termin8rSmurf 🦋2

There WAS vandalism. trump did it. trump vandalised it. he did so while profiting from it's desecration too. It's only really come to a head because a duckling died in it's tainted waters. This whole thing is a metaphor for his entire existence, not just his regime.

Brian Bander2

Counterpoint: Trump knows nothing other than what the voices in his rotting head tell him.

IQZero2

You paint it. Then fill it up before the paint dries and cures properly, it’s going to peel. But they wanted the picture, I guess.

Not Going Back2

Trump has failed at everything since birth. His parents and teachers couldn't control him. They called him, "unteachable." He's also pathological and sociopathic, incapable of empathy, or ever admitting fault. If not born into wealth, he would've been in prison yrs ago.

It’s hard to know what a bullshitter are actually believes. Trump is the Bullshitter in Chief.

And, sadly, every non-Trump-cultist knows this, but what difference does that make? We're still stuck in the throes of an authoritarian cult of personality.

Richard H21

Think about it, the whole Reflecting Pool debacle was caused by the fact, that in tRump’s simplistic brain, he can only associate the word “pool” with “Swimming Pool”. So he needed to have it coated like a swimming pool, because only that would make it look blue like his brain thinks it should.

The Reflecting Pool has security cameras that are monitored 24-7 by the National Park Service. There is a publicly accessible live stream as well. So how is it the NPS has yet to produce video of the Pool being Vandalized? This should be simple to prove or Trump is full of shit. He’s full of shit.

Doug Johnson 🇨🇦14

How about an investigation? The Safety Data Sheet for concentrated H2O2, a legal negligence benchmark, has clear warnings that directly conflict with dumping it recklessly into a wildlife-populated water body. The "maintenance procedures" should face a due diligence test under federal wildlife law.

He most certainly did not "inspect it" lmao.. hey, keep arresting people that touch it

Dr. Quinn12

"We will fix it?" Please, don’t let them "fix it." Vandals. What an irresponsible asshole. He can’t even fix a pool. Why do we allow him to destroy D.C., to remain in office, to go to war, to scuttle diplomacy? Why can’t we get control of this criminal?

So the "vandalism" of the past few days has morphed into a claim that the pool was "seriously vandalized." No proof, no nothin' but trump saying that's what it was. Someone please go through the camera footage and show us the proof.
