The magnitude of Trump's personal corruption and the monetizing of the presidency by him and his family have no precedent in US history.

It takes a total peasant mentality, or some weird cultish devotion, to defend or excuse this, especially if you objected to corrupt Biden transactions (as I did). It's on a completely different scale.

Trump set up a crypto company (World Liberty Financial) 4 days before his inauguration, then had the UAE pour hundreds of millions into his pockets for 49% of it, then gave rewards to the UAE. Jared getting $2 billion from the Saudis. On and on and on.

It is all so strange. If the coating was bonded to the concrete properly, you couldn't peel it off even if you sliced it with a knife. The algal bloom should have been expected. The treatment failure should have been expected. Needing the national guard to protect a pool in a public space is just weird. But I'm glad they are solving crime in the city. Frankly I'm surprised that the governors in whatever states they are from aren't taking a lot of heat for those poor sobs being called away from home for so long.

I did read that it isn't cyanobacteria in the bloom so at least you or your dog won't die if you drink it.

IIRC, the Trump family collects a fee every time someone uses a Trumpcoin in a transaction. So even if you're selling them off, the Trumps get richer. 

And yes, the Reflecting Pool IS the perfect metaphor for the Trump administration.
