OMG: Trump goes on CONFUSED RANT about Reflecting Pool

With Trump continuing to flail over. algae-gate, claiming that elusive. vandals have destroyed his precious. perfect reflecting pool renovation, the. question everybody is asking is if this. elusive slit truly exists, why haven't. we seen it? Why haven't we seen some. evidence? And that is exactly what. Donald Trump was asked today. >> Let's put it this way. When you have a. 350, I think it's 350, not 250, a 350-ft. slit. from one end to the other, you think that's proof? You think that's.

proof? >> reporters have been down there today. looking for that slit that you. mentioned, and there's no evidence. >> Well, you'd have to do is see the Parks. Department. They'll show it to you. You. see see uh. the secretary. But I saw it. They cut it. They cut it. very violently. The same thing with the. floor, they cut it. And then they lifted it. They pulled it. And that's what it is. >> So, let me get this straight. We had a. 250-ft slit that turned into a 300-ft. slit that just turned into a 350-ft. slit, and all we have to do is ask the.

Park Department because it's definitely. totally there. Only no one has actually. released a single video or photo of that. slit, even though doing so would provide. irrefutable evidence of what Donald. Trump is saying. Do I have that right? Let me ask you all. If that slit. existed, do you really think that Donald. Trump wouldn't be blasting it across the. internet like his life depended on it? This is the guy who is so desperate to. disparage the left that he will post AI. videos of liberal protesters marching at.

the No Kings protest getting dumped. on their heads. But for some reason, he's being circumspect with a video that. incriminates left-wing vandals. purportedly destroying his prize. reflecting pool renovation? Tell you. what, if you believe that, then I beg of. you, hang up the phone immediately the. next time a Nigerian prince calls you. with a deal of a lifetime. In fact, Trump was pressed on releasing these. photos. Here's what he said. >> So, they're going to spend 400 million. I spent.

10. They were going to spend 4 years. I spent. 2 months, maybe less. And I have a better product. Now, I. can't help it if somebody goes in with a. knife and starts. hacking it up. Uh, and we also have. pictures of it, you know. We have. pictures. >> the photos? We've we've been asking for. them. >> time you'll see it. You'll see it in. court. You'll see it in court. But, all. you have to do is call the Parks. Department. Uh, call the Department of. Interior and. I don't know if their lawyers will allow. you to speak to them because, you know,

you write fake you write fake news. But, uh, call the, uh, Interior Department. And I understand they've arrested five. people and they have another five people. that are under investigation. >> Ah, we'll see them in court. Got it. Very responsible of Trump to wait for. the court case because if there's one. thing we know about the president, it's. that he is very responsible not to. release any information during an. ongoing investigation. Except when he's claiming that unarmed. Americans shot and killed by ICE agents. are domestic terrorists within 5 minutes.

of the shootings. But yes, other than. that, very responsible when he wants to. protect the sanctity of ongoing. investigations. Just a quick note here. to say that if you appreciate my work, which is and always will be 100% free, a. small ask is if you could please. pre-order my new book, The Day After, which explores how Democrats must. finally wield power if they're fortunate. enough to get it back. I'll also be on. tour in DC, New York, and LA mid-July. You can grab tickets to the tour and you. can pre-order the book at the same link, which I'll put on the screen and in the. post description of this video. You can.

also find them at. briantylercohen.com/book. Again, I'll never paywall a single piece. of content, but this is the one time. that I'll ask for some support for a. book that I really think meets this. moment. Thanks so much. But then Trump. digs in on these purported vandals by. saying this. >> Are the contractors who did the initial. work with the reflecting pool, are they. to blame for the current condition or is. the. vandalism? >> No, vandal. We go You know, we have a. 100 and we have a. I think 293 hundred foot slit right.

through it probably a box cutter or a. knife of some kind. But we had people. lifting up the basic some of the. It's not a lot of damage, but it's we'll. probably have to let the water out and. refix it. They went in there with with a. knife. Uh. I was just told by the uh. by the people over at parks, they have. five people are arrested. and five people are under investigation. right now. And it's a sad thing. >> Let me just say, and I mean this with.

all due respect, if you believe any of what Donald Trump. is saying, how have you gotten this far. in life? How have you learned to tie. your shoes? Does figuring out how to. breathe oxygen take up most of your day? I cannot comprehend being a supporter of. a guy who treats his voters as if they. are actually brain dead. This is a lie. so obvious, it rivals telling a. 7-year-old that the tooth fairy is real, with the only difference being that the. 7-year-old is smart enough to know that. they're being lied to. But then Trump.

does what he does best and puts his. scientist hat on and says this. >> Uh they put Somebody said fertilizer in. the water. If you put fertilizer in the. water, you get algae. But uh somebody said they might have put. fertilizer, they did something to create. the algae, but that doesn't matter. because. uh that's been. uh. purified. It's dead. Laying at the bottom, they're taking it. out, they vacuum it out, they vacuum it. very carefully out. And it'll be back to health pretty soon. We're going to have to let the water out.

to fix the one little There's two little. areas, very little areas where they were. cut. And we'll fix that, but it's not leaking. or anything. It's got a base underneath. >> Yes, they did something to create the. algae. And now comes the part where. Trump reprises his role of scientist to. figure it out. That's right, from the. guy who brought you the idea of. injecting disinfectant to cure COVID, now comes his new project, arresting the. culprit who helped spur the growth of. algae. And I think I have a good place. where to start. The sun. That's right, sunlight helps.

facilitate algae blooms along with. nutrients like phosphates and nitrogen. So, I suppose Jeanine Pirro is already. putting together an indictment for the. radical leftist sun. Thank god someone. is finally putting an end to our biggest. star's reign of terror over our solar. system. Okay, so we've got vandals, we've got. that pesky sun. Who else is to blame for. this thing? Surely it it can't be. I mean, Trump would never stoop so low. as to blame it on.

>> We stood here with you in April when you. first revealed the plans. >> I said what? >> In April, you showed us pictures of what. you were going to do at the pool one. You said you had a guy who was going to. do it in a week for about a million. dollars. >> Well. >> It's been 2 months and 16 and a half. million dollars. >> okay, ready? Barack Hussein Obama, have you ever. heard of him? >> Yeah. >> He spent 2 years. and over 100 million dollars on trying. to fix it. You know what happened to it? Never even opened. >> Thanks, Obama. Yes, that's right. 14. years after leaving office, Barack Obama.

is apparently still to blame for the. reflecting pool. Trump is both the. strongest president we've ever had and. yet is also simultaneously so weak that. a private citizen, someone who left. office. almost two decades ago, is responsible. for pulling all the strings in the. federal government. Please, someone make. it make sense. And look, is this important? No, but. it's the perfect microcosm for the. wastefulness, the corruption, graft, and. grift of this government. Trump decided. to give a no-bid contract to an.

unqualified vendor because he was. friends with him. They up the job. and now we're left paying 10 times the. amount to fix the problem that Trump. created. And this is what they are. wasting their time on. Not health care, not rent, not housing, not food, not. jobs, not inflation. And I get that. Trump thinks that Americans are stupid, but take a look at this and tell me if. you think that they're allowing the wool. to be pulled over their eyes. >> The pool was perfectly fine. We wasted. all this money to. I guess make it better, but it's not. better. >> It's a crazy scene. What a waste. I've.

been riding by this reflecting pool for. decades. >> I just can't believe that we are. spending our money this way when there's. there's so many higher priorities. Health care, child care, um. closing the budget deficit. I mean, there's there's a million places we. could spend this money. >> We have uh tremendous amount of need in. the country currently. Um whether you. call it affordability or just uh the.

ability to pay your bills. >> And yet, despite all the criticism, nothing will change because this. Trump-led Republican government is not. in place to deliver for regular. Americans. It is in place to coddle. Trump's ego. And because he doesn't want. to be embarrassed over his botched. reflecting pool renovation, these are. the theatrics that we're forced to. endure. But the reflecting pool doesn't. put food on the table, doesn't make. medicine affordable, doesn't raise. anyone's wages or reduce inflation or. lower utility bills, but Trump doesn't.

care because that stuff impacts. everybody else. And his focus is where. it always is, on himself. Before you go, I'm very excited to. announce that I've written a new book. titled The Day After: How to wield power. in a post-Trump world. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with. in politics today and moving forward, power. Specifically, how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got.

here and more importantly, how we should. finally wield power if we're fortunate. enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo.
