Trump is embarrassed by his beautiful Reflecting Pool...?

Last edited Sat Jun 20, 2026, 09:32 AM - Edit history (1)

And they thought he could not be embarrassed.

There are so many examples of his incompetence and ignorance but the pool stands out like none of the others. Because it is so huge. Did you know it is longer than the Sears Tower is high?

Joe's Pool Guys did a wonderful job. Just like the pool they put in your neighbor's back yard. And they were paid well, with your taxpayer dollars.

Then, it happened! It turned green! Trumps favorite color. The color of money.

Maybe he's not embarrassed? This morning he is blaming vandals for going in at night and coloring it green. He never accepts responsibility.

What was he thinking when he put his name on the John F Kennedy Memorial? A memorial to a President that was slain by an assassin's bullet. Surely his name should be above Kennedy's?

And what was he thinking when he put a tariff on everything coming into this country? Try buying an apple for less than a dollar. Fruits and vegetables that used to cost a couple of dollars are now five or six dollars.

And what was he thinking when he decided to "bomb the hell" out of Iran? Surely he didn't think that bombs equal victory? You would be lucky to find a tree in Vietnam that did not have bomb shrapnel in it. But, we did not win the war.

His long list of failures go on and on. His supporters talk about all the great things he has done and at the top of the list, they put his taxcuts for the billionaires. Friends, that is not a victory. That is a defeat.

Maybe that isn't algae, and he's really hiding his money in that reflecting pool.

It isn’t any more attractive than a big slab of concrete. A rock garden with few small ponds would look better.

He automatically goes to blaming someone else so they are the ones at fault, not him.
He has never made a single mistake in his whole life and that will never change.

I'm positive he has never apologized in his life. It's everyone else that is wrong, that is at fault. This is truly how he thinks.
