"Dumb Donald is really dumb!"---Gene Rayburn, Match Game, 1973-84.
When you rush a project through, disaster usually follows.
Unfortunately, that logic is lost on an 80 year old man-child with the impulse control of a 5 year old.
Donald John Elmer Fudd Trump, man & boy, had the Department of the Interior award a no-bid contract to a friend of his, John Cafaro, and his company, Greenwater Services, to restore the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. However, in his haste to have the pool ready for last week's debacle of a birthday party, headlined by the UFC White House MMA card, Trump didn't give Cafaro enough time to allow his water purification system to be fully installed in the pool. As a result, the water turned green because of algae rising from the floor of the pool.
Cafaro, a neighbor of Trump's in Florida, isn't exactly a saint, either, because of a pair of felonies for which he was sentenced to probation. When the water turned green, Trump threw another temper tantrum, looking for a scapegoat to blame.
No, dummy, you did it because you couldn't be bothered to properly schedule it. A retired Olympic cyclist visiting the pool was arrested, and falsely accused of vandalism, though it's a safe bet the charges will be dropped. As usual, Dumb Donald didn't have any evidence to support his lie du jour.
If left alone to handle the project, Cafaro could've gotten more time to make sure his system was in place.
"You knew the job was dangerous when you took it."--Super Chicken, 1967.
But, when your client is a neighbor with the mental capacity of a kindergartener.....!
And, oh, that ain't all.....!
On Sunday, it was reported that the oldest baby in America undermined vice president Just Dumb Vance's negotiations with the Iranian government in Switzerland, prompting the Iranian delegation to leave the bargaining table after Trump threatened, yet again, to blow up Iran, days after he'd signed a "memorandum of understanding" with Iran. Seems as though Trump is only going to be happy with a deal that benefits him (of course), moreso than the country. And that ain't happening any time soon.
Bellevue is waiting.
