>>>The algae is a perfect metaphor to reflect on our unreflective president and his impulsive and solipsistic style of governing.<<<
>>>On Thursday, the Interior Department was
claiming to have beat back the toxic blooms — while doing a drive-by trashing of Barack Obama to please the boss.
“The advanced nanobubbler technology very effectively killed the algae that has plagued every Lincoln Reflecting Pool reopening — most infamously Obama’s reopening — since 1922,” Interior posted on X. “The Reflecting Pool water is crystal clear, and our National Park Service team is now vacuuming up the dead algae resting on the bottom of some parts of the Reflecting Pool — just like the destroyed Iranian Navy resting on the bottom of the Persian Gulf.”
Reports of Trump victories, with the knotty issues of Iran and the Reflecting Pool, are premature. Iran is gloating about Trump’s bad deal. Senate Republicans who normally don’t have the temerity to challenge Trump are deriding it. And the hydrogen peroxide that park workers used to kill the algae is
peeling off the “American flag blue” paint that Trump just had directed be applied to the bottom of the pool.<<<
