Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, June 23, 2026

Two more dead ducks have been found near Donald Trump's Reflecting Pool. The dead ducks were discovered floating in a pond at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall, a short distance from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, according to The Washington Post. A staff member from City Wildlife, a Washington-based animal rescue and rehabilitation organization, recovered the birds on Sunday and transported them to the group's facility for examination. The cause of death remains unknown. One of the ducks was an adult, the other a juvenile. It comes after a dead duckling was found floating in the Reflecting Pool's bright green water on Sunday, days after federal workers poured gallons of hydrogen peroxide into the pool in an effort to combat a worsening algal bloom. Images of the duckling spread quickly online, sparking outrage and raising questions about the government's cleanup efforts.

Is Polio Bob eating the ducks killed by Pedo 47's toxic pool?

It's not easy being green.

Muscovy ducks. Non-native invasive species. The environmentalist fix is culling.

Trump drove his entire motorcade over the newly finished pool before it was re-filled for a photo-op, obviously ruining the sealant.

He is directly to blame.

I'm glad we finally caught the Vandals.

Some folks are now referring to pedo 47 as Algae Hiss.

Agreed!

The bride started sourcing from them during Covid. Now, it's our go-to for duck, Berkshire pork chops, and lamb. It's completely ruined me for restaurant duck.

Expensive, but worth it. And scads less than we'd pay at a restaurant for that taste.

Is thinking about Trump's sanity.

The pool reflects Trump's mental illness.

Not just a pun. Stark reality.

Which reminds me of an ancient and quite demented family member, who kept calling the police to insist that people were sitting in the trees staring at her through her window.

I don't see a fingernail's worth of difference between this and Trump's conviction that teams of ninja vandals are sneaking in to create enormous cuts in the reflecting pool no one can actually see the next morning.
