Trump Is Exactly Right About the Reflecting Pool Being Plagued by Vandalism

[berg80]

The failed Reflecting Pool renovation is the perfect metaphor​

Trump has a hubristic habit of claiming he’s getting things done that nobody has before, rushing through the efforts — and then ignoring when things fall apart.

Opinion | The Reflecting Pool problems reflect Trump’s whole deal

Trump’s Reflecting Pool renovation turning algae green and peeling after $14 million mirrors his failures on Iran, screwworm flies, and DOGE.

Day after day, President Donald Trump crowed about his success, saying he had achieved something his predecessors could not. Then, the illusion snapped. The project fell apart. Things were not better; if anything, they were worse off than before. The cut corners and headlong rush yielded a temporary thrill for the president and a waste of money for taxpayers.

I’m referring to Trump’s very expensive and rapidly unraveling attempts to overhaul the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall, though the description could apply to many issues from the Trump presidency. My colleague Ja’han Jones described the once again algae-coated site as “a physical swamp that serves as a potent metaphor for [the Trump] administration’s corruption and incompetence.” The hastily done renovation and its swift demise are simply the most recent example of a pattern in which Trump and his allies’ bold declarations collapse under the pressures of time, scrutiny and common sense.

Are you trying to say there were no arrests?

The point is that these so-called arrests for "vandalism" will be laughed out of court.

There was no "vandalism" just Shitler! scapgoating another failure.

You want to chop the hands off tourists and children? Ok.

Are they vandalizing? What does Singapore do to tourists who vandalize.

Perhaps bring back caning or whipping.

Who cares about Singapore.

Also, post the evidence to convince that any so-called vandalism occurred.

Otherwise, this is just another exercise in cult stupid.

Harsh! I do support prosecuting vandals with enthusiasm though as a general rule.

Singapore is a much wiser country than democrats have made us. By the use of alternative punishment like whipping and caning and the liberal use of the death penalty, they have way less people in prison.

However, there are 5th Amendment limitations on Cruel and Unusual punishment.

I would have supported caning and whipping in public all J6 insurrectionists under the Singapore example.

Surely, you would have too.

NEW: Trump says Vandals Who Left “300 Foot Long Gash” and Dumped Chemicals in Reflecting Pool will Face 10 YEARS in Prison​

President Trump undertook the project to restore the filthy green water basin, built in the 1920s, which has been marred by issues, including sinking and leaking into the swamp beneath.

This is after Obama’s failed project in 2012, which had a massive cost of $34 million, more than twice what Trump is paying. Obama’s botched repairs took nearly two years to complete, while Trump’s are already finished after starting in April.

How did they supposedly cut a 300 ft gash? It would be interesting to see video support of such.

 

[Hypatia415]

A man was arrested who admitted damaging the paint

If that is a reference to the former Olympic cyclist, no he did not.

Oh you forget. The faithful always believe what Trump tells them!

Yes he massively denied it.

Remember, the reflecting pool is under constant video surveillance.

Not only did they do a 300 ft gash but didn't get caught on camera doing it.

An amusing comment was made by Chris Hayes in response to the pumping of water from the pool containing algae being pumped into a storm drain.

"The man who came to Washington to drain the swamp is now swamping the drains"

Trump is outraged at “vandals” who peeled strips of paint off of his pool

But he pardoned 1500 who attacked the Capitol

He demanded the arrest of people viewing his reflecting pool fuckup.
