STEPHANOPOULOS: He promised it would be fixed for under $2m. It's already cost more than $15m. The pool is going to be drained & you're putting out solicitations for new bids. So the pool is not fixed right now, is it? BURGUM: It's fixed in the sense that it's no longer leaking 45k gallons a day

The only thing that gives me hope is their infinite incompetence. The pool ruining, the 250 stage fail, Arch Henge, the stupid gold shit on the walls of the Oval Bordello… The East Wing may be gone but whatever they put in its place is going to be so damn rinkydink it’s bound to collapse.

Certainly the reflecting pool is a perfect example of how Trump works = money to an incompetent pal, screw up, blame someone else. But it is pretty trivial alongside spiraling inflation & debt, failed war, rampant corruption, climate change, massive wealth inequality etc.

Our children, grandchildren, & great grandchildren will be paying for this regimes corruption, greed & incompetence for their entire lives. We cannot pry these a-holes out of the White House & Congress fast enough!

Truck bed liner to fix the reflecting pool? Who's half baked idea was this? Statement from Rinolinings regarding their pick up truck spray on bed coating. (Part of the "leakage" is evaporation)

So the creepy crook buddy/donor of Trump’s who mucked up the project is off the hook because Trump falsely accused someone of slicing through the coating and faces no liability, and now Trump gets a do-over on the taxpayers? Do I have that right?

Yes and no. Thinking in the end everyone of them is getting prosecuted. That’s Mikey Johnson’s fear. So they know it’s coming. They took the grift too far and to be cruel did it in public. They think this is funny. They were enjoying the retaliation game.

Now they’re saying that they’re going to use the same contractor. And pay him for fixing his own defective job.

They have so much more work, it will need a new budget to fix. The liner, the seals, the filtration system, the pipes underground, etc. It's in WORSE condition because the $14 million project acted as a superficial band-aid. It must now be drained again to strip the ruined materials and start over.

Once again, this man is a literal billionaire who, without any prompting, is willingly going on TV to sychophantically fluff up Donald Trump's ego by lying about a fucking pool renovation. Just feels worth remembering when people talk about how "smart" you must need to be to become a billionaire.

Not confident any of these ________ are billionaires. To acquire that kind of money there is corruption involved. Unearned generational wealth. A legit billionaire—and we haven’t found any to date, most engage in some unethical activity—wouldn’t need to grift and gaslight.

I truly cannot wrap my head around the people in his admin like Bergum who was a R gov in North Dakota and was proud of his state's green initiatives. Make it make sense. He obviously isn't a stupid man. I hope he develops huge ulcers over this. Just nuts.

Whatever these cretins do to the pool between now and the time we throw them out of office will simply have to be re-done from scratch by a Dem administration. The right wing chuds will howl. The NYT will forrow its brow. Tough shit, it will have to be fixed from the ground up.

The entire USA, while the regime rots in prison. All their assets and stolen wealth returned. No SS detail. No property. Just prison and for some the final you know.

Remember when the regime showed us pictures of the “crap” they took out of the Reflecting Pool? There was a lot of long metal something’s—expansion joints?? Was that stuff part of why the Pool worked fine before #ETTD touched it?

the "porosity" of the pool bottom was a feature that kept fresh water circulating, replenishing the pool in order to PREVENT stagnation and algae formation.... it was NOT undesired "leakage". Circumventing this is what you get when AMATEURS are in charge.....

So he diverted funds from all across the country's national parks to waste on fixing things in Washington, DC and is now asking for more money for the all of our parks in which he will probably once again, divert funds! Will congress ever pay attention?

When they drove the "Beast" over it in the motorcade, they [the terrorists who concoct stories] damaged the bottom of the pool. They always want to move on right after they pull their stupid shit.......they did this so that a lazy bastard could view the pool from a car window.

Just like literally everything in this system of ours, you have to get at the ROOT of the problem (pipes, basic needs) not just slap a bandaid (blue paint) on it and call it a day

These grown white men are such weenies. Pathetic whiners who have no spine or mind of their own. Standing next to the supreme liar just to get a whiff. And to think they'll get a PENSION! when they're gone! Maybe SS protection! Everything they do costs us & our country.

lol, I need proof. Willing to bet it’s leaking worse than it was too. One might compare it to the Iran situation. It’s like Trump thinks, “how can I spend a whole bunch of money, and end up two steps backwards for the effort?”

That’s a pretty revealing answer. The question wasn’t whether the leak slowed down. It was whether the project was finished after blowing past its original budget. Those are two completely different questions, and he answered the easier one.

What Hydrogen Peroxide Does to Paint 🔹Destroys Adhesion: Peroxide penetrates the paint film, breaking the chemical bonds holding the paint to the surface. 🔹Bubbling & Peeling: It forces the paint to bubble, lift, and flake off.

Really wish he had followed up with how much is it leaking now since the vandalism bs will have a bs response but the expected cost to fix the drainage issue was over 100 mil iirc so I assume its still leaking quite a bit.

Hey Burgum! Didn’t you IDIOTS have WARRANTIES included in your NO BID Contracts? Whomever the Company was who was paid WITH TAXPAYER FUNDS should be required to REPAIR what they did or didn’t do & get the job done right! You don’t get to STIFF AMERICAN TAXPAYERS again with another NO BID contract!

How do these people sleep at night telling these ridiculous stories. The only vandalous Act was done by Trump himself when he had his motorcade drove across and through the reflecting pool before it got refilled

45000 gallons a day is a LAUGHABLE amount of water! You would literally need a WATER PUMP shooting water out for a whole day! The LIES are just INSANE! And ZERO PUSH BACK from news outlets. Nobody said it was leaking BEFORE the "renovations". FFS!!!

It’s not a fucking “liner!” It’s a coating. You can’t “slash” a coating like slashing a vinyl liner in your backyard pool. I don’t even have a pool and I understand these idiots are lying and I can call them out on their bullshit. Nobody calls them out anymore.
