I repeat: “Donald Trump” is a mythological creation of “Apprentice” boss Mark Burnett: a “Successful Businessman who is Very Strong & says ‘You’re Fired.’”

The reflecting pool fiasco reveals perfectly who he really is: a corrupt, incompetent dolt who bankrupted 6 casinos.

Imagine using the National Guard to protect green algae but not US democracy on January 6.

Trump is sickening.

How do these guys make it through life. Like this is a cartoonish level of delusion. If the sealant were sealed, you wouldn’t be able to rip it off. That’s how sealant works.

You know who's obsessed with the Reflecting Pool? Donald J. Trump.

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

This is freaking hilarious 🤣 😂 😆

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

WHO MADE THIS!? I’m dying.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

This is getting incredibly pathetic. Trump now says he may have to drain the Reflecting Pool after his botched “renovations” quickly left it infested with algae. Instead of taking responsibility, he’s blaming vandalism—not his own shoddy work or the science experts warned about from the start.

[Steven Huffman @Poeslawisalive]

The National Guard, along with local police, have been dispatched to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to guard the algae.

As you can see at the end of this clip, the algae is safe. Well done.

Iran just closed the Strait of Hormuz again

Meanwhile Trump:

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: Iran's joint military command says that the Strait of Hormuz is closed again and cites Israeli attacks in Lebanon. https://t.co/VN4lCm4h9n

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Oh good, the Strait of Hormuz is closed again.

Ceasefire lasted less than a Scaramucci

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

A trail of destruction. Imagine their reaction if Obama had done even one of these things.

Q: What's stopping Iran from down the road rebuilding and restarting their nuclear program?

JD VANCE: First of all, they would have to get a lot of money in order to rebuild their nuclear program

(The MOU gives Iran a lot of money!)

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil."

April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need."

June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks...we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it."

There. Is. Always. A tweet.

A reporter points out to Vance that the administration said a handful of contradictory things about when the MOU was actually signed, and asks him, "Is what's going on behind the scenes as chaotic as your public messaging?

Vance responds with an uncomfortable laugh.
