A note to my friends who still back Trump:

I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.

Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.

And the green water?

A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.

That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.

The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.

Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.

Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.

Prove them wrong.

@TwentyTwoLou @ObamaFoundation To be precise the id is required if you are trying to get free admission as a resident of Illinois. Otherwise no id required.

Trump on the reflecting pool: "If you had a knife, you can't even cut it."

Also, Trump on the reflecting pool: "They cut it."

The Reflecting Pool has become a perfect symbol of the Trump presidency.

@IngrahamAngle Will any democrat compliment the emperor’s beautiful clothes?

[linda singh @lsingher]

@mcafeenew And the emperors clothe were beautiful

[linda singh @lsingher]

@awakening1 @RoguePOTUSStaff And the emperors clothes were also magnificent

[linda singh @lsingher]

@BadFoxGraphics This is the most emperor has new clothes moment of his entire presidency.

[Maggie 🇺🇸⚾️ @LACentrist]

The Reflecting Pool was not vandalized.

It was gross incompetence by the no-bid contractor; a contract awarded by Trump.

There is no conspiracy theory. No vandals.

Just incompetence.

On our dime.

Truth matters.

There's a reason the Michelle Obama-George W. Bush friendship goes viral every time: People are starving for decency. For respect without agreement. For politics without cruelty. Their friendship reminds us what we've lost, and what we can still choose.

@OldRowSwig Funny how if they did you would say it was A.I. funny how I had three kids and have no photos of me pregnant because I didn’t like how I looked.

[linda singh @lsingher]

@MrsErikaKirk Culture?

[linda singh @lsingher]

@HRH_SHP @brookelynn74 That’s a stupid response to a perfect answer. You deflected because you can’t explain how they could have gotten married before same sex marriage was legal. What a sad weird obsession.

[linda singh @lsingher]

@jackunheard I’ve had three babies and not a single pic of myself pregnant. Didn’t know it was required to prove to you that I’m a woman. Jfc

[linda singh @lsingher]

@TwentyTwoLou @AOC I just thought they shut up and make me a drink comment because she was a bartender needed context. She graduated cum laude from Boston university. Might not like her but the bartender thing is a cheap insult. I waitressed and bartended in my twenties.

[linda singh @lsingher]

@TwentyTwoLou @AOC Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez worked as a bartender and waitress out of economic necessity. Following the sudden death of her father in the 2008 financial crisis, she took on multiple jobs to support her family and help her mother fight the foreclosure of their home.

@porterstansb Ooh! Let me guess! His parents went to the Ivy League school and that’s why you are upset!!!

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

You caught them. Mom and Dad were going to sell bibles and cell phones, golden sneakers, and NFTs, Chinese watches and cologne but wouldn’t you know someone beat them to the punch. They were left with only one choice write two books like every former First Lady and President has done in modern history.

@libsoftiktok @Delta Who the fuck cares and how does this affect you?
