President Donald Trump on Thursday shared an AI-generated video of himself hosing someone's tears into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The video shows a presumably liberal person crying into a fish-bowl-like bubble attached to their head, with Trump siphoning the liquid from the bowl and draining it into the pool.
Reflecting Pool Renovation
The reflecting pool renovation has become one of many pet projects under the distraction-driven Trump that have nothing to do with running the country. Trump publicly estimated the work to cost $1.5 million to $2 million, but The Associated Press noted that at least $14.8 million in contracts have been granted for the project. The paint job to make the shallow basin 'American flag blue' was finished on Wednesday, Trump said.
Trump Promenade Announcement
The president on Thursday also announced he was building what 'they' want to call the 'Trump Promenade' connecting the Lincoln Memorial to the Potomac River. Given the continued war in Iran, still-high prices and low popularity, perhaps it's the last thing the president needs as well.
Trump's AI video and renovation projects have drawn criticism amid ongoing national challenges.
