    No one cares about the pool. The pool is just a public display and emblematic of the stupidity and the insane amount of corruption in The White House. Just look at the list of offenses:

    1. Waste tens of millions in taxpayer dollars on a completely unnecessary renovation for the sake of vanity, after cutting billions in funding across a vast array of vital federal services for “waste, fraud, and abuse”.
    2. Skirt the congressional approval process by declaring some sort of “emergency”.
    3. Give the contract to one of his personal friends, financial donors, and a convicted felon who has zero qualifications.
    4. Renovation costs from taxpayers skyrocket past initial projections.
    5. Felon with zero qualifications predictably fucks it up castrophically.
    6. President drives a fucking motorcade over the freshly-painted surface for…what fucking reason?
    7. Trump sicks federal resources on PUTTING PEOPLE IN FUCKING PRISON in an incredibly ignorant attempt to save face.
    8. His own administration declares that there was no wrongdoing and he immediately publicly lambasts his own fucking people for not being able to make a judge hallucinate into a conviction in his alternate reality, while possibly becoming disbarred or themselves charged with a crime.

    #7 being the most aggressive and offensive. Like I can’t stress how alarming that is. He’s willing to imprison people over a botched renovation rather than admit he made a mistake. That’s some North Korea shit.

      That’s worse than North Korea shit. Say what you want about Kim, but he at least would have strapped that scummy contractor to a cannon rather than give him a few million dollars.
