  Everything, EVERYTHING he touches, turns to ruin. He makes Nixon look like an altar boy. Such a loathsome criminal.

  The crisis isn't that Trump is falling apart. The crisis is that he's falling apart, taking the world down with him, and that Congress, his party, the Supreme Court, large swaths of the media, and a significant portion of the populace aren't willing to do anything about it.

  The emperor has no clothes. He straight up slumped-over asleep during a cabinet meeting and everyone in the room just pretended like all was well. The reflecting pool isn't the story.  The story is everyone ignoring or enabling this madness,

  I knew a man that was dying,he went out and did,bought ,charged everything he had ever wanted to do. He left the debt to his wife. Trump knows this is his last term,he is dying,he is bitter and is burning the house and the bank down.

  Destruction of public property is what happened to the East Wing.

  Environmental engineer here 🙋‍♂️ I deal with drinking water and wastewater systems all the time, including evaluating and rehabbing big water storage tanks. &nbsp;Watching this situation from the outside - both his early talking points, and the handling of the contract - suggest to me what everyone already knows. &nbsp;Which is that Trump had no idea what he was doing, took a minor maintenance problem and ballooned it into an overdramatized, politicized issue - and now has no easy route to steer away from it or shift blame. &nbsp;It should be irrelevant to any given presidency - such things are neither in the purview of his office, nor his immediate concern. &nbsp;But he couldn’t help himself. &nbsp;He saw what he viewed as another easy way to dunk on Biden, it backfired based on his typical methods (zero planning, use of no bid cronyism to “get the job done”). &nbsp;And now he’s floundering in a problem he created for himself. &nbsp;Same with his tariff policy. &nbsp;Same with Iran. &nbsp;There’s a pattern of behavior - and that pattern is that Trump is an erratic, harmful menace to our country.

  The algae in the Reflecting Pool is an ironic ending to Mr. Trump: he is the swamp.

  Which is the greater act of vandalism, touching some floating debris in the Reflecting Pool or obliterating the entire East Wing of the White House.

  If you ask me, a slime filled swamp pool &nbsp;is a good representation of the American empire and of the ceaser-in-charge - &nbsp; a reflection of an empire in decline.

  No. The biggest story is a judge sentenced people to 100 years for protests at an ICE facility.
