BREAKING: A reporter ENRAGES Trump by confronting him about wasting time on vanity projects with gas prices through the roof — causing him to unload a tirade about how she can "understand dirt."
Dementia Don is spitting angry now...
"Mr. President, you are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran. Why focus on all these projects right now?" ABC's Rachel Scott asked the President.
"You know why? Because I want to keep our country beautiful and safe," Trump snapped back. "Beautiful also. This place was a disgusting place... It was Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and we had uh— Uh— A terrible..."
"I don't know. You probably don't see dirt, but I do. And you walk down this pond. If you would have walked down, they'll tell you better than anybody..." he continued. "They had to take eleven or twelve truckloads of garbage out of that lake, out of that water, and it sat there for years like that. And that's not what our country's about. Our country's about beauty, cleanliness, safety, great people, not a filthy capital.
"What is the status of—" Scott attempted.
"It's such a stupid question you ask," said Trump. "We're fixing up. The Reflecting pond to the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and you say, why are you fixing it up? Because you can understand dirt maybe better than I can, but I don't allow it."
"This is one of the worst reporters," he went, visibly enraged. "She's with ABC Fake News, and she's a horror show. She's saying, why would you bother fixing this up? Why would I bother taking eleven or twelve truckloads of filth out of the water in front of the Lincoln Monument?"
"That's what made our country great," he added. "Beauty made our country. People made our country great. A question like that is a disgrace to our country. Any other questions? Fake News."
Even by Trumpian standards, this was an insane outburst. Clearly, Scott struck a nerve because on some level Trump knows how deeply unpopular his D.C. "renovations" are with the American people.
As for Scott's question, the reason that Trump is focused on his "projects" instead of his disastrous Iran War and its rippling effects is because actually governing bores him. He lacks the intelligence, patience, and attention span to do the hard work of the presidency. Building and renovations are something that his simple mind can understand — even if his aesthetic tastes are awful.
Please ❤️ and share if you oppose Trump's vanity projects!
Unlike Admiral Bradley, Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey resigned and refused to go along with Pete Hegseth's illegal orders.
RETWEET to thank Admiral Holsey for standing up for the Constitution!
