Trump and his botched reflecting pool "fix" are now an official laughing stock!

And by his own words, George Washington and Abe Lincoln are affronted! I did not have this mess on my Trump Bingo card!

but that's the type of bullshit they'd get on a soapbox about. Same with Law and Order. Now they're just complicit and compliant.

Trying to pretend they got into the algae scum and tore up his magical American flag blue paint job. Poor folks. I hope they sue the crap out of the MAGATs. Trump ruins everything he touches.

First, they blame stagnant water in the pipes.
Then, they blame Biden/Obama.
Now they blame vandalism.

Always have to find new people/things to blame.
