Novelist Stephen King has had enough of so-called “President” Donald Trump’s attempts to blame the humiliating failure of the reflecting pools in the nation’s capital on others, and he’s calling Donnie out on social media.
As Trump’s $14 million reflecting pool fiasco continues to humiliate him, the head of state posted this: “The United States Park Police have arrested multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Pool. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair. President DJT.”
Trump followed up that post with this one later in the day: “Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool. It hasn’t looked or worked like this since 1922, when it was originally built, but even then, it leaked badly, and didn’t work. Ours worked perfectly, including the mirror like finish, perfectly reflecting the two Great Monuments, which it never had before! What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly. We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible.”
That led King to respond to Trump.
“Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption — a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn’t fuck up, it was my enemies.”
Others then joined the debate.
Trump has failed at nearly everything he’s attempted in his life. He’s a grifter, a rapist, and is in the Epstein files over 38,000 times. Now he wants to blame his latest failure on others. It’s a pattern in his life, but most Americans can see where the blame lies.
