And now, The Donald J. #TrumpVirus #ReflectingPool / #ReflectivePond - with all the best #media #disinformation - like #Fox & the whole anti- #Truth #cult
No #reflection here... No #mindfulness. No #cognitive #ExecutiveFunctioning - like reasoning and understanding cause-effect, planning, sequencing, etc.)
No, Sir Stable Genius and his reflective pond are all about optics, not reflection
He has only concepts of concepts, his wants & fantasy, & all the best words. And #cognitive #WordSalad

Hart said his group had supported Trump’s campaign-trail calls for more efficient government. But now, he said, the #Trump admin was moving in the opposite direction, & wrongly invoking the upcoming celebrations as an “emergency”, to justify bypassing legally required competition [+ oversight & review].
“We’ve known that this is going to be America’s 250th anniversary for 250 years,” Hart said. “It’s not like we didn’t have time to plan.”
-
John Hart, chief executive of the conservative watchdog group Open the Books, said that the government seemed to be flying blind, embarking on an expensive project without knowing for sure what it would cost or how well it would work.
“The first thing any rational homeowner, family or business does is they solicit competitive bids,” Hart said. “Because when you rely on sole source contracting, it opens the door to extraordinary waste.”

Now that the repair work is underway, other documents indicate that the same #contractor had—at least initially—not been able to perform one of the most critical parts of its repair job: sealing the gaps between the concrete slabs at the pool’s floor.
Water has leaked out of those gaps for decades, creating a costly problem that #Trump has vowed to fix. But the contractor’s attempts to seal those gaps failed in 2 trials earlier this month…

#ReflectingPool Contract Has ‘#Inflated’ #Profit Margin, Government Analysis Finds
Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the Virginia-based contractor, is being paid $13.1 million, which is seven times the amount that #Trump initially said the work would cost.
The firm that was given a no-bid contract to “repair” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, is charging 20%. The typical profit margin is 6% to 12%, internal records show.

Questions…So Many Questions…And Possible Answers
- If SHITHOLE is in such great health, why is he going to Walter Reed Hospital tomorrow for his third “check-up” in thirteen months?
A: Because, although SHITHOLE SAYS he’s in great health, he clearly isn’t. Actually, it doesn’t take a doctor to realize this. Just look at and listen to the fucker for five seconds and even a visually and hearing-impaired person could tell SHITHOLE is a mere breath away from croaking. I like to say he’s dying from the inside out. Or maybe it’s from the outside in. But I think most of us know that people in GREAT or even GOOD health don’t have to attend “check-ups” as often as SHITHOLE does.
2. How is building a ballroom going to make SHITHOLE safer?
A: It isn’t. If building ballrooms made people safer, every school, church, synagogue, mosque, supermarket, movie theater, (name a place where people congregate and could be shot) in the nation would build one. SHITHOLE is just a SHITHOLE and keeps whining about needing his “ballroom” and whatever the fuck else because it’ll make him safer. Even if it became approved and it started being “built” tomorrow, SHITHOLE wouldn’t live to see it finalized or use it. Shit, maybe all Americans should get together and build a huge ballroom around the states to keep us safer from SHITHOLE and his “administration”. Since apparently that’s what ballrooms are meant to do.
3. How is painting the bottom of the reflecting pool blue going to prevent debris, algae, trash and leaks from happening?
A: It won’t. You can paint the bottom of the reflecting pool any color and you’re still going to have debris, algae, trash and eventually leaks. Because it’s filled with water. In fact, painting it blue is probably going to encourage people to try to swim in it, (especially dumb MAGA asses who visit Washington, DC), because painting it blue makes it look like a swimming pool, not a reflecting pool. So, on top of debris, etc., you’ll have disease. Also, when SHITHOLE and his idiot entourage recently drove on the surface, experts indicated that they more than likely damaged it. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if it leaked and flooded DC?
4. Why does SHITHOLE need an arch?
A: He doesn’t. He’s just narcissistic and a SHITHOLE. Like his ballroom, he doesn’t need it. The only arch SHITHOLE needs is at McDonald’s. To speed up the demise process. See question 1.
5. If Iran agreed to give SHITHOLE their uranium, how would SHITHOLE obtain it, where would SHITHOLE put it, what would SHITHOLE do with it and how would SHITHOLE prevent Iran from mining more uranium?
A: All great questions with no simple answers other than IRAN WOULD NEVER AGREE TO GIVE SHITHOLE THEIR URANIUM. But for shits and giggles, who knows how SHITHOLE would obtain it (not sure SHITHOLE or anyone knows exactly where it is, and I’m sure it’s in many places), where would SHITHOLE put it if he got his hands on it? Probably try to stuff it in his bathroom at Shit-A-Largo. What would SHITHOLE do with it? Probably try to sell it. To Russia. Who would in turn give it back to Iran. Or maybe his intention is to build a nuclear bomb. And the biggie: how would SHITHOLE prevent Iran from mining more uranium? He wouldn’t. Because he’s so fucking stupid that once he had the “uranium”, he’d probably think that’s all there is. I’m not even sure SHITHOLE knows what uranium looks like!

Given a surface area of 2,030 ft by 167 ft, the reflecting pool would require 238 gals per coat of paint. Allow 2 coats. That’s 476 gals. For $13.1 M, that’s $27,521 per applied gallon of paint.

The foundation also wrote that the Commission of Fine Arts, a federal agency that advises on design projects related to the capital, has been involved with past changes to the #ReflectingPool but did not review the new #Trump project.
Charles A. Birnbaum, who heads the foundation, noted that the neutral colors originally used for the pool’s basin were intended to convey greater #depth & #reflection, which is now threatened by Trump’s changes.

“This latest desecration of the reflecting pool is part of a pattern … in which this Administration willfully disregards #legal limits established by #Congress,” the Cultural Landscape Foundation wrote in its filing.
#Trump last month unveiled his rapid project to resurface the #ReflectingPool, saying that a contractor convinced him to use “American Flag Blue” to cover the pool’s basin. Trump has said the project will be completed by July 4, in honor of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
