Reflections and deflections [1]

['Daily Kos Staff']

Date: 2026-06-28  

From dead ducks to some mysterious organization of vandals, everyone seems to have it out for the Reflecting Pool ever since President Donald Trump completed his totally-not-shitty renovations.

The algae-covered mess has become quite the eyesore for Washington, D.C., but the hideous puke-colored stain has turned out to be the perfect metaphor for the shit show that is Trump’s second term.

So here are some cartoons highlighting the ridiculousness of this whole debacle. And feel free to share more of your favorites in the comments.
