The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become a metaphor for
the Trump presidency, Trump claimed he would fix the reflecting
pool for $1.8 million, When renovations were declared complete
Trump claimed it was a triumph, But the cost was vastly over the
budget, a no-bid contract had been awarded for the work, and the
work immediately failed, 12 days after it was done, the epoxy
from the bottom of the pool was peeling off, but the Interior
Department claimed the White House didn’t know that the work had
been contracted to a company that Trump originally said he had
chosen, A former Olympic athlete, who stopped by the pool and put
his hand in the water to feel the detached material, was arrested
for destruction of government property, Trump had found someone
to blame for his blunders, The reflecting pool is defying his
narrative, as are Iran and Israel, Israel does not consider
itself bound by the MOU signed by Trump, US Intelligence expects
Netanyahu to continue striking Hezbollah, Iran closed the Strait
of Hormuz again, J.C. Vance left for Switzerland for
negotiations, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is refusing
to go along with Trump’s narrative about her, showing how Trump’s
power is crumbling, The National Guard is patrolling the area
around the reflecting pool as Trump claims vandalism by
additional people - although security cameras offer no proof of
either vandalism or arrests.
