Swamp Thing
Trump’s Reflecting Pool debacle sums up his presidency
Whew! When I started this job in the late 1990s, the news cycle on a story could last for weeks. A cartoon I drew today would still be timely next week or even later. Not anymore. It’s down to hours, sometimes minutes. It’s hard to keep up. Trump’s “peace deal” with Iran seems like it’s falling apart faster than the paint job on the Reflecting Pool — which is already peeling off after only a couple of weeks. That is, if you can see it through all the algae, which, ironically might have gotten a boost from the American Flag Blue Trump had it painted. The darker color might have caused the water to heat up, thereby making it a breeding ground for the green goop, according to experts. Trump’s complete capitulation to Iran and this D.C. swamp he has created serve as perfect metaphors for his impulsive, destructive, self-centered presidency.
The sketch:
This really cracked me up!
I think it's only fair that Mr. Algae be offered the same deal!
And, this pool fiasco can just be added to the many other blunders!
