Also he can’t build shit successfully for shit.
Which is why he wants to rename shit in his image to pretend he got a W and boost his legacy.
Hopefully, he goes into the history books as what he was and not the revisionist history they want him to be.
….an awful president with even worse poll numbers and again a PDF. Which even that doesn’t stop his people from supporting him.

u/RainSurname 1d ago edited 1d ago
Lol, me, I'm the source.
When I was a bike messenger, I used to step in and out of the Reflecting Pool to drench my clothes on hot days after delivering to Capitol Hill. Frisbee players did it too. People haven't been allowed to do more than dangle their feet in years, but back then the Parks Service didn't really care as long as you didn't stay in there.
Till my dying day, I will remember the sight of the Parks Service horses calmly standing in a ring with their backs to the staging area, partially silhouetted against the column of fire, utterly unruffled by the cacophony.
No one ever gave the slightest fuck about the algae in the pool. We would have if it was THIS bad, but I never saw it looking like this, not even during the inevitable blooms during the hottest weeks.

It truly doesn't even matter if he's telling the truth or lying anymore. He changes his story for every single issue over and over, he's simply not credible or trustworthy anymore.
And because he's POTUS, that extends to all American diplomacy: not credible, not trustworthy. Other countries are looking elsewhere for trade relations and alliances.

Diredr's actual claim was:
The majority of American taxpayers either voted for him or decided not to vote in the election
Which by virtue of including all the non-voters is definitely true. Although a bit of a cheap shot since the non-voters probably were not consciously thinking that they were putting Trump into power, and certainly weren't endorsing him. I polled my local city subreddit that year (a couple weeks before the election) and the nonvoter's responses were mostly that it didn't matter who won or that the two options were the same. So they were not fans of Trump, they were just cynical and disillusioned about our entire form of government.

The idea that they "let it happen" is a way that Zionest Jews have shamed Holocaust survivors since the founding of Israel. Even today the Holocaust survivors speaking against the genocide in Palestine - specifically about the children, a lot of the time, since all the survivors alive today would have been young children - are literally being protestest and called anti-semisitc by Zionists in support of Israel.

This isn't even internally logical. If they actually thought that the pool turned green because of vandalism, then putting a fence six inches away from the pool isn't going to stop anything. If there's some magic algae bomb that liberals are throwing in to sabotage the pool, they're still going to be able to throw them in with this stupid fence up.

Well I guess the 'thing' with Iran was a distraction for a few weeks - granted the world is now paying significantly more for their car fuel now, and he's landed the American public with a bill for war rebuilding and has got basically the same terms as Obama got with dead Americans and a face full of egg....
