Reflecting the Times

The seriousness of the Iran disaster and the damage it (along with much else) has done to America’s global standing is somehow sharing headlines with the president passing the buck for his Reflecting Pool clown show onto imaginary vandals. “‘They put, somebody said, fertilizer in the water,’ Mr. Trump said. ‘If you put fertilizer in the water, you get algae. But somebody said they might have put fertilizer. They did something to create the algae.'” Trump on the Shabby Condition of the Reflecting Pool: Not My Fault. It’s worth noting that even Narcissus himself didn’t f-ck up the reflecting pool.
