Trump LOSES IT in UNHINGED update on reflecting pool
The reflecting pool saga has. legitimately gotten so unhinged today, I. almost don't know where to start. But I. think we could probably go with Trump's. latest screed on Truth Social. So, here. goes. He wrote, "Quote, many additional. people have been arrested having to do. with the disgraceful vandalism of our. beautiful reflecting pool. It hasn't. looked or worked like this since 1922. when it was originally built, but even. then it leaked badly and didn't work. Ours worked perfectly, including the. mirror-like finish, perfectly reflecting. the two great monuments, which it never. had before. What these terrible vandals.
have done is a true affront to both. Presidents George Washington and Abraham. Lincoln and should be dealt with. accordingly. We met with contractors. today, we'll probably be forced to. release and drain much of the water in. order to do the necessary repairs, but. we'll have them done as quickly as. possible. What they have damaged does. not even include the earlier killing of. a large amount of grass, which was by. far the least of it. They took some form. of knife or blade and put a 250-ft long. gash into the beautiful facade of what. took so much work, competence, and money. to build and complete. They also poured.
corrosive and destructive chemicals into. the pool. The reflecting pool is never. so beautiful as it was just 1 week ago, even going back to 1922 when it opened. We are very proud of what we have done. with this magnificent structure and we. will get it repaired quickly to an equal. level of beauty. Thank you for your. attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump." Now, here's the deal. Right-wing. media, including Trump, has been doing. the world's most desperate defense. claiming that vandals have been. destroying Donald Trump's perfect new. reflecting pool because why else would.
giant shards of liner be floating up to. the top? Certainly not, as one. meteorologist wrote, because nobody. peeled anything, and industrial coating. has to fully cure before it goes back. underwater, and this one was rushed into. a flooded pool to hit a deadline. Submerge a film before it bonds to the. substrate and water works underneath. until it delaminates and lifts on its. own. That isn't sabotage, it's. chemistry. They're now detaining people. for touching material the job already. failed to hold. Science. Hmm. Yeah, I don't know about that. I.
mean, who are we really going to. believe? A scientist. or the president who claims that vandals. cut a gash nearly the length of a. football field in the lining of the. reflecting pool that no one saw and no. video exists of? Exactly, the president. Thank you. What's that? Wait, I'm I'm actually getting right now. word that we do have video footage of. the vandals who destroyed the reflecting. pool and we have that right here.
And given what we know about Donald. Trump's DOJ, they're going to go all in. against these vandals, especially given. what Jeanine Pirro, the US Attorney for. Washington, D.C. and yes, that is. unfortunately a real sentence that I.
just said out loud, announced today on. air. >> These are cases that will be prosecuted. to the full extent. If there are more. serious products that are put into the. reflecting pool to create more algae or. a bigger problem, then we'll consider. more serious charges. But make no. mistake, making D.C. beautiful is a. priority and if you damage, vandalize or. do anything to impact something like the.
reflecting pool, you can be prosecuted. >> I just want you to think about what is. happening here. Trump is a grifter, found some friends who are not qualified. for this job, gave them a no-bid. contract for over a million dollars, they up the reflecting pool, but. because Trump can never admit fault, he's now playing make-believe that. elusive vandals destroyed the pool and. now Jeanine Pirro has glam on and commit. to the bit and threaten prosecutions for. non-existent people who are vandalizing. the reflecting pool. It's like bad.
community theater, except all of the. actors suck and no one actually gets. paid in anything other than the selfless. exercise of prostrating yourself for the. god king. I'll tell you what, if they secure a. conviction, I will shave my head on. camera. That is how sure of the fact. that this entire exercise is a scam. intended to placate the emperor's. fragile ego I am. And it's not just Jeanine Pirro, the. rest of the maggot ecosystem is doing. their part to perpetuate Donald Trump's.
delusions. >> Well, I'm not a scientist, so the algae. thing, I mean I believe that's what. happens in bodies of water such as this, so I don't think this is President. Trump's fault. But what's so irritating. to me about the left here? President. Trump is trying to make DC nicer. DC is. filled with Democrats, okay? He's making. it nicer because yes, he happens to live. there for the next couple of years, but. you all live there all the time because. DC is made up primarily of liberals and. Democrats, right? He's trying to make it. nicer for you. He's trying to make it. safer [laughter] for you. He's trying to. make your reflecting pool nicer. He's.
trying to spruce up the place, and they. go out of their way to damage and to. vandalize it. It's like during the BLM. summer of love when they're burning down. businesses in their own community. It's. like you have to be pretty stupid to do. that. >> Well, regarding the vandalism, that's. absolutely true. Somebody did vandalize. the grass even when workers were working. on the reflecting pool. I think I read. that people came and vandalized their. trucks and their equipment. Look, you. have people that hate Donald Trump so. much that they would go out and destroy. our national monuments, vandalize the. Lincoln Memorial, vandalize the grass.
That's how broken-brained they are. Donald Trump has cleaned up Washington. The fountains work, the city is clean, the city is safe. It's good that he has. taken an interest in this, and you have. these people out here who are so. broken-brained about the fact that he's. the president that they're spending. their time vandalizing all this stuff. I. think it's terrible and I hope anybody. who vandalizes our monuments, I hope. they get caught and I hope they get put. in jail. He's trying to make the city. beautiful for America 250. There's going. to be a lot of people in Washington. They deserve to go to a clean, safe. capital and that's what he's trying to. do. >> Yes, A+ jobs. I'm sure you'll all get.
the little pats on the head from Daddy. Trump that you are so desperate for. I. mean, I'm sorry, but if Jeanine Pirro is. looking for someone actually vandalizing. government property without permission, perhaps. this might be a good place to start. >> This morning the historic 120-year-old. East Wing of the White House reduced to. rubble. Satellite images show the. dramatic transformation from less than 1. month ago to now. Along with the. building, at least six trees have been. taken down including two magnolias.
commemorated to Presidents Warren. Harding and Franklin Roosevelt, all to. make room for President Trump's 90,000. square foot ballroom. So, if you think. that's fine, but are doing fainting. spells over non-existent vandals, then. it might be time to extricate your head. from Donald Trump's ass. And yet, because Trump has his air. support from his little underlings and. because they've helped him sell the lie. that it was obviously the left's fault. that his reflecting pool grift. backfired, that gave him the space he. needed to be able to come out and post.
quote, "Work will begin immediately on. fixing the seriously vandalized. reflecting pool. I just inspected it and. could only say to myself and those. gathered around me, wow, who could do. such a thing? Sick, deranged people. We. will fix it. President DJT." Yes, thank. God Donald Trump is stepping in and. fixing the problems created by these. radical Marxist, communist, leftists who. have been vandalizing the pool, even. though again, no video evidence actually. exists or has been released. Nothing.
that Donald Trump won't be able to solve. with another no-bid contract for his. pals. Hey, who knows? Maybe Don Jr. can. even start a pool company this weekend. and then charge the US taxpayers. a billion dollars because why not? And. look, does this all matter? No. But it's. actually a perfect encapsulation of how. the grift, lies, and manipulation. pervade the right and leave us, the. American taxpayers, with the bill. Maybe. one day the Republican Party more. broadly will hold Trump to the same.
standard they hold imaginary vandals to, but until that day arrives, they will. continue to lie on behalf of the only. person they actually serve. Not the. American people, but Donald Trump. >> [music]. >> 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.
