$14 million “beautification” and just 3 days later it looks worse than ever because there was a reason we didn’t paint the reflecting pool dark colors like “American flag blue.” Mainly that it would raise the water temp and cause rapid algae growth.
The White House was built to serve the American people.
Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.
The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.
They did not fight a revolution for this.
The irony is almost unbelievable.
For years, some conservatives warned that Obama would turn the White House into a celebrity playground, politicize every institution, and treat it like his personal brand.
He didn’t.
Now there’s a UFC event on the White House grounds, corporate sponsorships everywhere, and a cage fight being used as a presidential spectacle.
Trump did to the White House what his critics feared.
The joke wrote itself.
BREAKING: JD Vance just accidentally confirmed the DIRTY SECRET about Trump's Iran deal.
JD Vance went on CBS News and tried to spin Donald Trump's Iran deal. Instead, he CONFIRMED exactly how badly Trump got fleeced.
CBS correspondent Ed O'Keefe asked Vance point-blank whether Iran would have access to a $300 BILLION reconstruction fund. Vance's answer? Essentially yes — "funded by the Gulf Coast coalition so long as they honor their end of the obligation."
So let's do the math that the Trump administration desperately doesn't want you to do. Let's compare Trump's Iran deal to the one Republicans spent a DECADE calling the worst deal in American history — Barack Obama's.
OBAMA'S IRAN DEAL:
• $1.7 billion in unfrozen Iranian assets
• In exchange for a 98% reduction in Iran's uranium stockpile
• And strict limits capping enrichment at 3.7%
TRUMP'S IRAN DEAL:
• $24 BILLION in unfrozen assets and cash
• A $300 BILLION reconstruction fund
• Lifted sanctions
• In exchange for an "opened Strait" under Iran and Oman's control
Read those numbers again. Trump is handing Iran roughly FOURTEEN TIMES the unfrozen cash Obama did — plus a $300 billion reconstruction windfall — after starting a war that nobody wanted, spiking gas prices, and killing the existing ceasefire because he found negotiations "boring." AND the deal just kicks what happens with Iran's uranium stockpile to future negotiations!
Republicans screamed for YEARS that Obama "gave Iran billions" and "appeased the mullahs." They called his deal treasonous. They tore it up. And now their guy is giving Iran an order of magnitude MORE money for a far weaker arrangement.
But here's the part Vance accidentally revealed. He warned that Iranian hardliners would "over-emphasize the benefits that Iran gets while under-emphasizing all the things they have to concede."
That's PROJECTION. Because it's the TRUMP administration that's been over-emphasizing the "wins" while burying the $24 billion, the $300 billion fund, the lifted sanctions, and the fact that the strategic Strait would fall under Iranian and Omani control. Vance is accusing Iran of doing EXACTLY what his own administration is doing — hiding the real terms of the deal from the public.
The man who promised to be tougher than Obama on Iran just handed Tehran the biggest payday in its history — after dragging America into a war first.
$1.7 billion versus $324 billion. That's the difference between Obama's "terrible" deal and Trump's "great" one.
Someone should mention that.

🚨 OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!
Adam Hoffman, a TX attorney just like Ken Paxton, raped a young boy for 3 YEARS. A first-degree felony & what should have been life without parole in TX.
Ken Paxton dropped that sentence to 60 days.
He was freed two days ago after serving 28 days in jail, due to “good behavior”.
He doesn’t have to register as a sex offender.
His record is being scrubbed as I type this.
This JUST HAPPENED.
Meanwhile, braindead MAGA are cheering him on.
The Guardians of Pedophiles party is just doing it out in the open now & being celebrated for doing so. Welcome to Texas, where being a corrupt, hideous defender of child rapists elevates you to positions of higher and higher power.
Ken Paxton has an eye for enabling pedophiles. Not sure what the other eye is looking at.
I’m glad that some Republicans finally grew a spine and said no to Trump’s $1.8 billion pot of money for January 6 rioters.
But let’s be clear: that’s only half of this corrupt deal.
The other half is the DOJ giving Trump immunity from any tax crimes he, his family, or businesses may have committed. This includes negating an audit that could have cost him an estimated $100 million. That part of the deal stands.
Republicans need to grow a spine and reject this dirty deal in its entirety.
The American people pay their taxes or suffer consequences. The President should too.

@BulwarkOnline Watch this video. I think this young man who won the Mike Wallace award a couple of nights before.the 69 minutes meeting. I might have buoyed Scott Pelley and gave him a bit more backbone than he had previously shown.

@factpostnews His Daddy started a war and he owns part of a drone company. So is the rule that if your last name is Trump it’s not self-dealing or influence peddling?
GOP Rep. Mike Collins' chief of staff was in a white nationalist group chat where he used his position to advocate for an incarcerated Holocaust denier.
Brilliant Idiots Podcast: Why isn't Trump arresting people for the Epstein files? You can't arrest yourself. There's only one reason why he wouldn't want this shit out. It's because he's implicated.
Americans should ask themselves if it makes them proud that their government is breaking its own laws and using its’ law enforcement agencies to implement the fat orange f*ck’s racism and xenophobia ?
Immigration agents detained a pregnant woman and her 4-year-old son for over a week in a windowless room at Dulles International Airport.
The family was traveling to the U.S. on a valid visa so the child could receive surgery.

Internal memos reveal the Pentagon is trying to recruit hundreds of troops to watch Trump's UFC event on the White House lawn.
Troops will have to pay their own way to the event and "must meet current waist-height ratio and current physical fitness standard" to attend.
The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.
Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...
