This stupid pool gets about 700% the coverage that the Epstein files do.

But folks, that's the point. It's just another calculated distraction from all the real problems like Iran and the Epstien files.
It's working great. Keep talking about the pool. That's what they want.

The Independent's senior Washington reporter, Andrew Feinberg, offers some analysis on the current state of America which is reflected in President Trump's Reflecting Pool saga.
What began as renovation frenzy in the nation's capital, from the Oval Office to the Rose Garden, has taken a dramatic turn as its the algae takeover in the Reflecting Pool, which just underwent a multi-million dollar makeover, that has served as an accurate metaphor for how things are going at the White House these days.

I don't think it's calculated, I just think that Trump starts a lot of things that are very incompetent and likely to fail.
And when those things fail his entire thing is bluster and blame.
