Yeah, at this point I'm all for Trump's various vanity projects going through to completion. The eyesore of a ballroom, the giant tacky arch, the gold coins, the signature on the money, whatever else he can come up with in the short time he has left before McDonald's finishes him.

America needs scars from all this, physical reminders of what it did to itself and what it's capable of doing again someday.

It’s not - the original design intention was for it to be a reflecting pool. Orangeboi hears “pool” and automatically expects to see the sort of bright azure blue square that you see for swimming pools in warm states like Florida; thus, he got “his pool guy” to come and resurface the reflecting pool, though they were sane enough to talk him into a very dark blue (which will probably be less reflective than the surface that was there before, but orangeboi doesn’t care) (also, iirc it was recently resurfaced under the Obama administration, which I’m certain plays a role in his desire to resurface it, because orangeboi is racist as absolute fuck, on top of categorically hating Obama’s guts)

Just America things 🫠

He probably knows where the literal bodies are buried under trumps pools.

His pool giy is making a whole lot off this contract. Millions of dollars of tax payer money

There are 3 people you pay; your lawyer, your accountant, and your nanny (or landscaper/pool guy, whomever hears your conversations).

Hue hue :)
