I tend to look at the growing tally of deceased fowl in Trump's botched aquatic "fix" as a rather apt metaphor for his entire Presidency. Dead ducks, indeed. Meanwhile, gas is pushing $6 a gallon, and the looming specter of our impending oil reserve depletion should be getting all of our attention, but instead we're wasting time fretting about what kind of poisoned duck dared croak in Trump's vanity project. Trump's a lying, incompetent ----, and it's obvious he intends to take us all with him when the Ferryman--at long last--comes to call. On brand, I have no doubt he'll try to stiff Charon with one of those worthless TrumpCo Commerative Coins.

Trump says Vandals are responsible. As he capitalized it in his tweet, it's only fair to make clear that the Visigoth community is in no way responsible for sabotaging Trump's no-bid Mar-a-Lago make-over of the Reflecting Pool. Meanwhile, the octagon cage and it's hideous lighting scaffold is still squatting on the Front Lawn of the White House, and the tarp still covers his name removal at the Kennedy Center. He's trashing the place like a drunk frat boy.

I'm shocked. A pol grifting to his benefit? Shocked, I tell you. Perhaps some future historian will at long last discover just how corrupt this administration is/was.

I worry about what a ill-considered Trumpian quick-fix remedy will certainly have on the waterfowl that rely on the pool as their main habitat. It's the incompetence, stupid. The photo of the damage to the Elipse courtesy the Fight Night mouth-breather army is soooo on-brand, eh? Another uncalled-for variation on a all-too-familiar theme, if you will. Why should the pool be any different?

The butthurt flows like it's Monsoon Season. Don't care for the holiday? Cool...then find something else to do that day. The Public Service sector is always looking for volunteers. For example, Trump is under the impression the forests require some timely raking to prevent forest fires. Perhaps they'll hook you up with one of those smokin' hats the bear wears.

I've never seen a man in his position more over his skis than Trump. What kind of people willingly choose a D student dotard to lead them? I know this...had Harris been elected, we wouldn't be paying $5+ for gas right about now.

I can't wait for them to raid ANTIFA Headquarters. That, of course, presumes the intrepid TrumpCo minions can locate that den of dastardly villains in the first place, though. Perhaps a Ouiji Board would help. One would think they would have completely run out of whole cloth by now.

Football outside of this country is historically and socially considered a workingman's sport. When you thoughtlessly price those folks out of any realistic chance of attending, you're gonna find a whole bunch of empty seats in your stadiums. Then there's the whole ICE goons lurking about at Customs thing here in the Land O'Freedom. Lord knows how many 3rd world fans that scared off.

One might be tempted to view the tarp as a rather symbolic shroud on Trump's entire Presidency. Ain't no spinnin' this, Trumpers.
