It is not your property so leave it alone.

The man is insane, with dementia, and a psychopath who is burning America to the ground because
he is working for Vlad Putin. Is anybody going to stop him? He is already destroying the White House
and now he wants to build his Arc de Trump and redo the National Malls Reflecting Pool?

Though a dream peach would be cool.

Interesting coincidence,no?
And consider the possibilities.

(2,609 posts)I always thought reflection referred to contemplation and introspection,not mirroring back an image.
However, considering this cast of characters,that interpretation is impossible.
Deflection and not reflection is their forte .

A man with the "design sense" of the troll he is.
And what the hell does he want? A little army of pool boys to keep "his" suburban backyard pool "nice."
If he would do it in exchange for releasing impounded funds, shitcanning every executive order, repealing the MAGA murder budget, hiring a competent cabinet, he could have his horrific arch, ballroom, and swimming pool as far as I'm concerned.
Too bad that's not a "deal" that will ever be on the table so we must just do everything we are able to stop the march of trumpism. Give, give, give to state Democratic parties. For example:

. through a filtration system and the old water goes back to the Potomac but a swimming pool is a closed
system where the water is reused, pumped, filtered, and chemically treated. The old system was and
still is working just fine and doesnt need Donnys help into making it like a swimming pool.
Besides it is not Donnys property and he is crazy too.
