Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen.

trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at @TheJusticeDept are randomly going after people to soothe trump’s fragile ego.

[Bluedog @HereLiesBlueDog]

Look at these Antifa lunatics pouring chemicals into the water to make Trump look bad.

Oh wait, that’s the people the orange fucking idiot hired to fix his incompetent mistakes.

I hate that the media in this country is as stupid as he is.

[Covie @covie_93]

The same donald trump who threatened "years in jail" for people who touch the peeling paint in the Reflecting pool pardoned 1500 people who destroyed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

[John Podhoretz @jpodhoretz]

Someone cut a 250-ft. gash in a location open 24 hours a day in the most visited national park in the United States in one of its most famous sites and nobody saw it happening or filmed it at the time? This is as credible as him saying we won the war.

[Conor Rogers @conorjrogers]

Trump: look at the pool, I fixed it. Everyone look at the pool, I did a great job. Obama never fixed the pool. I did. Look at the pool.

Media: the pool looks broken

Karoline: why are you guys talking about the pool, you’re deranged

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

They’ve arrested more people for touching the peeling paint at the Reflecting Pool than they’ve arrested from the Epstein files.

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

At 9AM, JD Vance claimed the Strait of Hormuz was open on Fox News.

At 10AM, Iran announced the Strait remains closed.

It could not be more clear that the Trump admin has absolutely no control over the situation right now.

[Adam S. Pumpkins @AdamGreene7]

He really is a fucking moron.

This

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.

The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

ICE spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses to cage human beings. Now it’s quietly trying to sell or give away seven of them, more than $700 million gone, with not a single facility open and an inspector general investigation hanging over the whole mess.

This is the waste they swore they were elected to root out.

The fraud, the abuse, the blank check spent without a plan.

They bought industrial buildings at up to $145 million apiece, before renovations, with no environmental review, no community buy-in, and no real strategy for what came next. Even Republican officials told them to stop. Taxpayers are left holding the bill for warehouses that detained no one and accomplished nothing but fear.

It’s total hypocrisy.

An administration that lectured the country about efficiency lit $700 million on fire as part of Stephen Miller’s cruel fantasy of mass detention. Imagine what that money could have done for veterans waiting on housing, for families crushed by costs, for the working people they claim to serve.

I’m glad this plan is dying. It was inhumane from the first day, designed to warehouse people far from the rule of law and basic decency. But being glad it failed does not erase how it failed, recklessly and expensively. We must have full accountability for the officials who pushed it.

WHO MADE THIS!? I’m dying.

The community notes turn on the President by simply quoting the memorandum of understanding.

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

The failure of the Reflecting Pool project is the Trump presidency in a nutshell.

• He complained about how Biden and Obama did it.

• He promised to fix it and make it amazing. MAGA prematurely celebrates a promise that will ultimately be broken.

• The project is mired in corruption, with a no-bid contract to the same company that works on his personal properties.

• Once complete, it’s either poorly done or nothing like what was promised.

• He blames the Democrats.

[Adam S. Pumpkins @AdamGreene7]

Exactly what you’d expect.

[Moe Davis (U.S. Air Force, Retired) @ColMoeDavis]

This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Good lord the most brutal community note ever. Quoting the MOU directly

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

Corruption is so normal in the Trump Administration that officials don’t even get fired after being exposed for it.

[Adam S. Pumpkins @AdamGreene7]

This is what happens when a fucking moron is the President and hires Fox News hosts to fill his cabinet.

The geopolitical risk going forward cannot be under exaggerated.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

8D Chess

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

A nuclear Iran with long range ballistic missiles and complete dominance in the Gulf will be Trump’s legacy.

Congrats, MAGA.
