    14 millions down the drain and the pool still looks like sht. Its peeling bc it was a shoddy job.

    Perfectly summarizes the trump administration.

    Half ass incomplete vanity projects and waste of tax payer money due to incompetence.

    If u r a potential home buyer, avoid having pools at all cost, waste of money and time for maintence.

    Taking a portion of an already deteriorated and ruined piece of surface is not vandalizing. Now they are spinning this as some sort of sabotage and blaming the “Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats” (Trump’s own brilliant prose)

    keep pouring bleach, that solves everything!

    "never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence"

    or something like that

    LMAOOOO -- traitor George is such incompetent buffoon, parroting the same convenient lie again.!

    i had called you out on this convenient lie before , as it relates to the hi-speed rail system in Calif.


    In 1996, then Governor Pete Wilson, a GOP from San Diego, signed Senate Bill 1420 which created the California High-Speed Rail Authority (“CHSRA”) with responsibility for designing a high-speed rail system in California.

    The ballot initiative authorizing funds was approved by voters in 2008, when Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, was governor.
    In 2009, then the Governator applied for $4.7 billion in federal funding for California’s high-speed rail project under (“ARRA”)
    the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 , the federal government’s stimulus package, which approved $831 billion
    in federal spending on infrastructure, education, health, and energy projects.

    Since then, mounting lega hurdles have led to delays and cost overrun, Newsom is the 5th Calif Gov saddled with
    GOP Pete Wilson's ill-conceived hi-speed rail project

    Trump attributing the damage to vandalism is such a gift to the company who did the renovation too.

    Government contracts usually requires a 1 year warranty against defects by law. But now that Trump says its vandalism, the contractor may be off the hook now. Time for another $14 million contract!

    1: Incompetence - burn money on nonsense
    2: Corruption - no-bid deal for POTUS's friends
    3: Authoritarian - arresting a former US Olympian and others for touching peeled paint, because they need a scapegoat
    4: Paranoid - deploying the National Guard to guard a public pool

    Somebody went into the reflecting pool and cut it the length of a football field and nobody noticed them doing it?

    As usual, all the problems he creates, someone else is to blame. Has MAGA taken responsibility for ONE FREAKING THING?

    Apparently yes, an invisible man in the most heavily surveilled place in the country surrouned by hundreds of paramillitaries waded into the pool with a knife and sliced a 300 foot gash underwater - a very likely thing that happened
