To honor the nation's 250th Anniversary, a drained empty slimy hole in the ground, reeking of rotten algae and bleach, where the reflecting pool used to be. Brought to you by President Donald J. Trump.

Who else?

Could be, but to avoid an utter eyesore, I predict he might just demand that a huge blue pool cover tarp be installed, at least for the duration of the birthday festivities.

Just for the record, algae smells. It smells like fish. Like week old fish.

Until it dies and start to decay, and then it smells like Trump.

Put him with either Jimmy Hoffa or Osama bin Laden.

Fill the pool with concrete, and declare it the biggest, best, patio, the world has ever seen?

Yes...I know..."stop giving him ideas"

And paint a beautiful 'reflection' of the Washington Monument on that concrete patio.

The opportunity for reflection is probably overrated anyway:

You know what’s weird? There are reflecting pools all over the country, and all around the planet.

In Atlanta, San Diego, Houston, New York, Boston. There are dozens in smaller cities and towns around the US.

There are reflecting pools at the Taj Mahal in India, in Iran, in Spain, Brazil, France, even Dubai with its constantly elevated temperatures.

Could we not learn something from somewhere else, instead of hiring a twice convicted fraudster with 1990’s swimming pool technology on the basis of “I know a guy…”

Trump finally found a swamp in DC he could drain.

Given the number of swamps he and his billionaire overlords have created, his successors will be draining swamps for decades.
