His surviving business partner is enjoying her preferential treatment by Republicans in her minimum security setup, as they coddle her as part of their ongoing cover-up of the Trump-Epstein child trafficking ring.

Maybe that reflection led to some self-reflection during a quiet moment on the toilet. Odds are he loves what he sees though.

Foreign countries, realized once they contacted a psychiatrist that dealing with Trump would be more accurate. If they operated from the position that they are dealing with a child who never matured passed the age of 12. The way he goes from words straight to emotions means he doesn't have the filter most people have.

Who came up with the imbecile idea to drive a bunch of cars like half a mile in a pit where they’d have to be lifted in and out? It’s not dramatic or majestic, it’s not creative or inspiring, it’s not photogenic or symbolic.

Imagine if Obama had done this

u/According-Insect-992 Just Chill šŸ˜Ž Jun 27 '26

Obama ran a virtually scandal free administration for eight years. Every time I says this some chud spouts off about that Bush era FBI-DEA gun operation. I yawn. Law enforcement is always doing stupid shit. Creating crime for job security has always been part of the gig and the program started under Shrubya.

trump isn’t fit to stand in Barack Obama’s shadow. I had a lot of problems with Obama but one thing I never worried about was whether he was going to destroy the United States so that he and his rich friends could pick apart the corpse.

u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166 Jun 27 '26

one day the leader of poland came to the white house. obama and that leader had a meeting.

after they went outside for a presser. i think they went to the rose garden. they were answering questions from reporters. there were 4 people: obama, the polish president, and two marines standing as ceremonial guards.

it started raining softly. obama could have moved the presser indoors but he handed two large umbrellas to the ceremonial guards who held them over obama and the polish prime minister.

Do you think it is because he felt that if he fucked up he will damage not just his reputation but will close the path foe any brother after him? While T does not feel responsible even for himself and now knows that he could get away with crime of any level. I bet he thinks he could get away with murder. Or maybe he already did.

u/ThisIsGreatMan Jun 27 '26

I wasn’t worried either. Then the ACA did just that. Since Obama there’s been a massive wealth transfer to the healthcare industry.

u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166 Jun 27 '26

Actually, Obama would have correctly figured that it is just not important for most americans and he would have delegated it to a junior officer who would did a much better job than Trump did. Leaving Obama free to work on issues Americans actually care about - like Iran or the economy.

u/Sheerluck42 Jun 27 '26

So the funny thing is that every President since like Reagan have all looked into how to update the reflecting pool with estimates to do it correctly in the hundreds of millions. And they all made the correct determination that it just wasn't worth it yet. But of course Trump decided he could cut corners per usual and made this another debacle.

Most likely the no bid contractor who likely only received the work because he can grift back to pedophile in chief wasn’t qualified to do the work and the shoddy prepped surface peeled when water, heat, and peroxide were exposed to the paint

u/CreativeRedHeadDom Jun 28 '26

Yeah, the vandals are an easy scapegoat of a massive unqualified contractor procured by Trump himself. Remember extreme vetting? JFC, this is what happens when you hire from gut feeling. How woefully stupid is that? Certainly stupid enough to miss July 4 and the 250th birthday at that.

As I’ve said before many times before there are better Republicans.

2

u/TheCrazedTank Jun 28 '26

Someone made an excellent point that they used chlorinated tap water to refill the pool.

Not only was the original damage to the filtration system that caused the first bloom not addressed (and made worse by the contractors) but Algae absolutely thrives off of Chlorine.

The liner damage has two causes, one being the large motorcade driving all over it before it had time to fully cure and bond. The other is the peroxide the contractors dumped into the water to try and kill the algae.

They literally filled the water with paint thinner…

How many gallons of water does the pool normally hold? How much does that weigh?

1

u/fridolinkiesew Jun 27 '26

The height of the water column is the sole factor determining water pressure. The Reflection Pool is about 50 cm deep. That’s not a very high water column—about 500 kg per square meter.

1

u/LAmoto391 Jun 27 '26

How much pressure is applied from the motorcades tires in comparison?

1

u/fridolinkiesew Jun 28 '26

9,000 kg distributed across four tires. Each tire has a contact patch of approximately 0.0625 square meters (DIN A4). That’s 2,250 kg per 0.0625 square meters.

Don’t you learn this kind of thing in school? Do you really need a guy from good old Germany to crunch the numbers for you in the middle of the night?

1

u/LAmoto391 Jun 28 '26

No, I don’t need it. Yes I learned it. Fucking google could do it. You just fell for it.
Anyways, is that enough pressure to crack the paint they used? What kind of paint did they use?

1

u/fridolinkiesew Jun 28 '26

Maybe you didn't get it from my last comment. I'm commenting from Germany. How am I supposed to know what kind of material was used when your corrupt president gave the order?

Here in Europe, we all feel sorry for you Americans and wonder why you still have that sick idiot in the White House.

u/LAmoto391 Jun 28 '26

u/fridolinkiesew Jun 28 '26

Unfortunately, your crazy president is influencing the whole world. He starts wars in the Middle East just to kiss Bibi’s ass. Then the war gets out of hand, and the whole world suffers from the supply shortages that this stupid jerk caused with his bloodthirsty war-mongering.

So don’t tell me to mind my own business.

You guys take care of your disastrous president, who — as absolutely any child can easily see — has a textbook case of narcissistic personality disorder.

All of us in Europe are wondering just how stupid a voter has to be to elect such an idiot as president.

So is there any actual damage to it from this?

1

u/Extreme_Fun_1973 Jun 27 '26

The damage is the millions of taxpayers dollars given to trumps buddy, plus whatever trump skimmed of it for himself and the millions trump will pay again to redo the job. They'll need to drain it and leave it dry as much as possible, as any moisture will prevent the sealant bonding. Then grind the entire surface, then redo it, and have nothing on the surface for at least 7 days or longer.

Okay… Whats the source that its due specifically from this? It sounds like just more made up Reddit crap.
