So it wasn't vandals with box cutters that ruined the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall but it was Trump.

Hey Trump you should pay for all the repairs and for the initial work too. You drove on it and ruined it.
You changed the albedo of it that made it get warmer and grew more algae. Your Florida Pool Boy’s
workers had never worked on that type of structure before. You had the micro bubblers which controlled
the algae turned off. You fucked with the expansion joints too. And then you blamed other people
for all the damage when it was 100% your fault.






This is all on you Donny. You have grifted billions of dollars from the American People time
for you to start paying us back. You should pay back every penny.

BTW leave the White House alone, asshole. It is not your property.
You are a baby with a machine gun and a chain saw.

“It is never okay to drive a motor vehicle over a hydrostatic coating designed to hold water. The weight and pressure on the armored vehicles’ tires will absolutely shear and delaminate the newly recoated surface!” writes Brian Walkowiak in a letter to the Tampa Bay Times.

Literally anybody with half a brain could have figured that out…but it appears the President lacks even that, and all of his sycophantic yes-men are too terrified to tell him no.


There should never be that much weight, undistributed, on a pool bottom. It will destroy the integrity of the pool’s ability to hold water. The substructure is not made to be a street or highway.

Actually destroy it so he could tear it up and put up some other kind of memorial to himself! Sounds just like something he'd do.

Trump, “Elon Musk is very good with those vote counting computers.”

Harris and Walz ran a brilliant campaign to packed houses Trump had people walking out
of his speeches.

That image of Harris makes me sad.

Asked him once at a dinner, when my husband and 2 others went to the bathroom..(Restaurant) "Do you think Trump was the winner"
He said: "Here's an old saying.."Certain types of people can and will kill somebody for 10,000 dollars..And you don't think other types of
people will either fix a 100,000 dollars horse race or change coding in a processor/output board? "What do you think?"

I had goosebumps... Not kidding...

At first I thought the photos were faked. I thought no one could be that stupid but then remembered who dear leader was.

Did these clowns think their whiteness would protect the liner from being ruined after driving on it?
