@karolineleavitt For weeks: “LOOK AT OUR BEAUTIFUL REFLECTING POOL!”
After the algae: “Why is the media obsessed with the reflecting pool?!”
Because you spent a month introducing it like it was the Second Coming of Landscaping, and now it looks like Shrek’s hot tub. That’s why.
A reflecting pool is supposed to show you the truth. This one actually does.
Trump promised a fresh coat, bright and bold, American flag blue, covering everything that came before. The reality is paint clumped, peeled, and curdled into a swampy green sludge, floating in ugly little islands across the water.
A no-bid contract handed to a guy whose price ballooned past $14 million and counting.
Cheap materials and no plan for what happens when it dries.
And when it inevitably falls apart, they blame the water, the weather, the paint, political opponents, and anyone but the people holding the brush.
Meanwhile the Interior Department’s social media reads like a North Korean state broadcast, breathlessly hailing the dear leader while crews stand vacuuming algae off the bottom.
Honestly, you could not write a better metaphor for this presidency if you tried.
@DougWahl1 Personally, I think they’re both beautiful airplanes, but that’s not the point. The truly ugly thing is a certain guy that’s gonna be riding in it.
@Politechblog@ChrisMurphyCT “Trump won’t keep it. It’ll go to his presidential library.”
Cool. Then why are taxpayers paying to turn it into Air Force One instead of letting future presidents use it?
You’re defending the stupid part by repeating the stupid part.
@RepLuna The Republican Party earned enormous credit for abolition. The question isn’t what Republicans did in 1865. The question is why so many people who once admired that party don’t recognize it anymore.
@TheBruceStJames@ABCPolitics If taxpayers are paying to transform this aircraft into a presidential asset, why wouldn’t it remain a presidential asset for future administrations? Being “retired” in just two years to go to Don’s library?!?
@TheBruceStJames@ABCPolitics “Free plane” is doing a lot of work here. The taxpayers get the operating costs, retrofit costs, security costs, and disposal costs. That’s less a gift and more a surprise invoice with wings. ✈️💸
@Letsstopdems47@LangmanVince@Antonio_Tajani You’ve responded to criticism of lazy labeling by proudly announcing that you reached your own conclusion instantly. That’s not a rebuttal. That’s a confession.
@Letsstopdems47@LangmanVince@Antonio_Tajani “Soy boy daddies” and “child predator” in the same sentence. It’s like your brain spun a wheel labeled Internet Buzzwords and just went with whatever came up.
