If only he had understood expansion/contraction. For those who missed it, he had a press call where he banged on about the pool expanding and contracting and that only he thought about this aspect.
Proper sealant paint appears to have been missed in that consideration. Good gravy.

Link to an email sent from Ron Johnson, Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, to the Chief Exec of Atlantic Industrial Coatings, who painted the pool.

Not exactly affecting the public like The Affair of the Necklace (and which was, pardon me, trumped up), but this is so ridiculous, so disgusting, so angering ... people should be more pissed off.

So... why in hell would Trump drive across the reflecting pool?
QUOTE:
President Donald Trump on Thursday went on an unannounced trip to the Lincoln Memorial to see the Reflecting Pool after he had it coated in a color he calls “American flag blue.”
He did more than just see it — the Republican president was driven across the new coating before he got out of his SUV to make a statement and answer questions from reporters who had been taken there to await his arrival before the sun set. |

People are saying this explains the lining failure, but I think it's just as likely that Trump's crony did shoddy work and it would have failed anyway.
But again, why?

I don't know what's worse: the fact that he doesn't know the name of the country he is waging war on, or just the clueless nature of his ramblings. LINK to short video from Forbes

Trump- “There has never been a group of people treated so badly in our nation’s history.”
No, he’s not talking about slavery. He’s talking about the Jan 6 rioters.

When I saw that someone had posted something to this i thought it would be about Infantino but no, it's Trump again sticking up for a bunch of people that stormed the seat of government live on TV. No matter what anyone thinks, that cannot be denied.
As for Infantino, I think he has just been given a crash course in the reality that once you move outside your bubble, no one will play your little games. No way he survives this.
