All this spectacle and money spent to prop up trump’s lie that the algae in the reflecting pool is a result of far left sabotage. We have a president who is so weak, his ego so fragile, that he can’t stop himself from trying to cover up his incompetence and embarrassment by peddling an alternate reality. The tarp over the front of the Kennedy Center is another example. He is a walking personality disorder.
