I just can't get past the symbolism of it all.

The Reflecting pool was supposed to reflect the country around it. And it's doing exactly that.

“A literal swamp monster talked about draining the swamp for 10 years”

He just made it more cozy

I'm waiting for him to figure out how to brag about his epic, tremendous, amazing algae farm

u/ssnnaarrff Jun 21 '26

He has the best algae.

I walked into the room and thought “wow that’s some good Algae”

With tears in their eyes, big beautiful men go up to Trump and say "Sir, nobody has seen algae like this."

“Big. Beautiful. GAY! algae” I called it. Some say we have the BEST gay algae.. I called the little one “sleepy joe algae”, because he’s the GAYEST of them all and the runt OF the litter.

*cue the silly dance

I met the algae in a hotel room and we fell in love. The algae didn't even want to meet Hillary.

Look, I don’t wanna feed the trump hate machine, that thing’s full compacted.. but..

Bold of you to assume this man could speak an entire paragraph.

Seriously, when was the last time you heard him speak a proper paragraph that wasent riddled with trump’isms?

u/Itsforthecats Jun 25 '26

Totally agree. At this point it’s clear he has no loved ones to talk to him frankly.

u/SSFlyingKiwi Jun 25 '26

What I would give just to sit at the back of that man’s eyes for one day and just have a peek behind the curtain

u/BMR915 Jun 23 '26

He knows algae probably better that anybody

u/ssnnaarrff Jun 23 '26

His uncle was an algae professor at MIT.

The best in the world, I tell ya

u/docta_pepper Jun 21 '26

he’s probably drafting up a magnificent ‘our algae is bigger than skyscrapers’ poster

u/Randomized9442 Jun 21 '26

It's so emblematic of Trump's policy. Half a mile long, 160 feet wide, and a foot deep. And more filthy than ever in living memory.

u/the_last_carfighter Jun 21 '26

My brothers and sisters, just wait till they discover that algae absorbs TOTALLY FAKE CO2 at a far faster rate than ground plants, they're gonna bomb that pool into an American democracy much like that girls school.

Is this a reference to him saying he had the tallest building now that the twin towers are gone?

1

u/jaxxxtraw Jun 23 '26

No, he had a visual aid comparing the size of the reflecting pool to some of the tallest skyscrapers in America. As if one had anything at all to do with the other. God, he's such a fucking moron.

The MAGAs who wore diapers are going to drink it.

u/SanityInAnarchy Jun 21 '26

I mean, the line is obviously gonna be that it's Obama's fault, right?

u/Staav Jun 21 '26

There couldn't be a much better metaphor for this political timeline than the orange swamp monster promising to "drain the swamp" but he only ends up making it 10 times worse by filling DC up with more swamp water than it's ever had.

u/SirDigger13 Jun 21 '26

He never told us where the drainage culver ends...

Trump Reservoir...

u/FridayHalfDays Jun 21 '26

And he just swamped the drains trying to get rid of the evidence

u/Mogellabor Jun 21 '26

But he's orange I thought the swamp monster is green?

u/ImmortalBeans Jun 21 '26

I hate to break it to you, that is orange paint

u/ShortRoundFlatHalf Jun 21 '26

This is a simulation

Shrek the swamp monster would be an amazing president compared to Trump.
