WHY are so many people just not seeing, or not wanting to see, that there's something seriously wrong with Trumpty? He is off his rocker. That is blindingly obvious. Something needs to be done before he nukes a small nation just because he wants them to know who's boss.
Trump’s Reflecting Pool Scheme Doesn’t Hold Water ALL WET The president handed a $6.9 million no-bid contract to his own “pool guy” to turn it blue.
...Trump somehow determined that overhauling the pool was suddenly “urgent.” That leaky determination allowed him to simply hand an extremely hefty $6.9 million no-bid contract to the company he said worked on the pool at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.
“I have a guy who’s unbelievable at doing swimming pools,” the president told the press in late April. He initially claimed the project would cost $2 million...
... Most notable was the Trump administration’s flat-faced insistence that painting the pool blue was “urgent.” The exemption is supposed to be used only to prevent “serious injury, financial or other, to the government.” Instead, the urgency was the president’s whim, and his desire to spruce things up in time for the nation’s 250th birthday...
... ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott didn’t see the urgency in the project, and challenged the president about it on Thursday.
“Mr. President, you are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran. Why focus on all these projects right now? We’re still seeing gas prices soaring,” she noted.
Trump responded that the project was “beautiful,” and that Scott was a “horror show” and a “disgrace” who had asked a “stupid question.”
