'Huge freaking mess': Trump tries to pass the buck on his botched pool job
www.ms.now
Jen Psaki rounds up reporting on cost overruns, scheduling delays and quality defects in the work being done on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Despite going on at length about his role in picking the contractor without any bidding and the pool's new color, Trump is now quick to point the finger at "Interior." Rep. Joe Neguse talks with Jen Psaki about Trump's "gross waste of taxpayer resources."

Hehehehe the video of him pumping his pool guys and then now claiming he doesn’t know them is hilarious.

Watch them not get paid and this whole fiasco ends with yet another lawsuit, just like I said.

    I don’t remember it in the news at the time, but the reflecting pool had a major rebuild relatively recently, in 2010-2012. In-progress photo.

    That is, it was extensively rebuilt during the Obama administration.

    And now I wonder if that has something to do with the president’s obsession. Painting over and taking credit for his predecessor’s work. Seems too on-the-nose, really.

        We went from Dan Quayle being universally shamed and humiliated for misspelling “potato” via an incorrect flash card provided by a teacher to… whatever the fuck this is.

          Honorable mention for Howard Dean getting similar treatment and exiting the proverbial stage due to “making excited noise that sounded weird” lmao

          From that to “grab em by the pussy, you can do anything” and the response being success is some wild shit.
