I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

@MikeandLily_UFC@AdamKinzinger@MalcolmNance The optics, when Americans are hurting from inflation, the war and gas prices, seems a bit excessive, but then he doesn’t give a damn so why should anyone be surprised.
@adamscochran@AntiToxicPeople while he shoves his face full of more McDonalds and the worlds energy is at a standstill due to a war that he started because he’s the one sucker president that didn’t say no the Netanyahu.
Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
@autahh20@EdKrassen Because it’s only what serves Trump. He is so tone deaf and has no idea how pathetic he sounds diminishing the reason she is there. Similar to his comments to children at the Easter Egg Hunt. What an embarrassment.
@meandcthulhu @EdKrassen Your ignorance is on full display with your sexist comment. How about a little respect for the woman who’s there to help promote the passing of no tax on tips. She was not there to opine on something you racist men can’t deal with, which is trans people.
@PressSec I think there are more important messages you could be posting, other than the President eating more McDonalds. Unfortunately this post minimizes the real concerns Americans have with a war, Inflation and a dwindling economy. Please stop the gaslighting.
@jakeshieldsajj how is it that you don’t understand the series of events that closed the straight? It was your 5D chess president who closed it. Now he wants to “negotiate” to open it back up? He did this. I’d rethink your Maga for Life campaign. He’s done nothing to help the US.
