He's really not crazy...Trump posts 2 "reflecting pool" photos, marked "HUSSEIN OBAMA" and "TRUMP."

[Miles Archer]

I'd say the timing and reasons are clear:

1). Trump hates Obama
2). Obama has a perfectly good "Nuclear Agreement" with Iran
3). Trump killed the Obama deal, now has no deal
4). Trump has failed thoroughly and miserably with his war in Iran
5). People are telling him "We had a perfectly good nuclear agreement with Iran, and you killed it, and you're failing at war, and have no deal"
6). As the result of 1 through 5, he now hates Obama even more.

2. Think of it as a Rorschach test for senile demented strong men

He's seeing something in those pools that aren't evident to anyone but himself.

[malaise]

3. He knows Obama is his superior in intelligence

Looks and personality. It has made him even more insane.
He hates Obama.

5. That's a hoot!

Who knew Jesus wears a Timex?

[FadedMullet]

7. I hope that Jesus didn't ruin his wristwatch.

[Brother Buzz]

20. It's a Timex

“It takes a licking and keeps on ticking"

17. Shouldn't Trump, at least, be walking on the water?

6. If Trump unlawfully tries a third term

he knows Democrats will run Obama. He is scared.

[malaise]

11. I don't think most of you get it

Trump and his racists want Obama dead. He shattered their entire myth of white superiority. Clearly he was hardly the first to do it but he certainky was the most consequential.
Obama has no plan of breaking the law with a third term run.
If that piece of shit could personally kill Obama he’d do it.

[pwb]

16. I didn't say Obama had any plans to run.

Mine was more of a what if scenario. If he does it, we will do it. I hope he tries, Obama will get us the Senate too. IMO.

[malaise]

18. Yes I agree he'll help win the Senate but

He’d better watch his back. They already found a MAGAt hanging around his neighborhood.

[electric_blue68]

25. Recently? I sure know how hated he is by a bunch of white people.

[CincyDem]

27. Even in his dementia, DJT realizes he can make his third term case without also making it for BHO.

[misanthrope]

28. They don't want to simply kill Obama

They want him erased. They want every successful Black man or woman extinguished from record or memory and the days of Jim Crow restored.

[malaise]

29. You nailed it

[jmowreader]

10. No dude

The one for “Hussein Obama” should be the one currently under Trump’s name.

The one under “Trump” should be a still from Idiocracy where people were riding jet skis in it.

[Biophilic]

12. I've really started to enjoy these types of texts from trump.

They mean he’s miserable.

[RainCaster]

13. Same clouds, same ducks, same shadows

His staff really needs to learn better Photoshop skills.

[Cirsium]

15. Sure, but...

Trump's pool goes up to eleven.

[2MuchNoise]

23. Not to mention, there's no way trump's obelisk is that tall.

[electric_blue68]

26. Heh, didn't notice that. But went back. Same clouds

[Doodley]

14. Proving once again that bigotry is the only thing Trump has to offer.

[spanone]

19. Fuck him.

24. MaddowBlog-Trump, still mired in distractions, turns his attention to the reflecting pool in D.C.

Two-thirds of Americans believe the president has the wrong priorities. As he focuses on another renovation project, he keeps proving them right.

...contracting procedures had been followed or whether any element of the endeavor has been or will be subject to any kind of oversight."

On the contrary, the Republican appears far more interested in assorted renovation projects than his actual governing responsibilities. The New York Times reported:

Next up on President Trump’s renovation tour of Washington, D.C.: the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, which he called ‘filthy’ and ‘dirty’ and in need of a major upgrade.

Mr. Trump said on Thursday that the project was already underway to renovate the reflecting pool, which is more than 2,000 feet long and has been the site of many historic events, including Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech.

At a White House event ostensibly about health care, Trump strayed from the topic to talk about the reflecting pool between the Washington and Lincoln memorials, taking time to argue that he “actually had more people” when he spoke at a July 4 event at the reflecting pool than MLK did when he delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963. (“I have pictures of Martin Luther King’s crowd and my crowd,” the president said.).....

An Associated Press report added, “Trump brought up the project unprompted and spoke about it for several minutes.”

This latest renovation project is not to be confused with the president’s preoccupation with his ballroom vanity project, his crusade to build a “Triumphal Arch,” his apparent excitement about the construction of a temporary White House arena for an upcoming UFC fight, his desire to turn the White House Executive Office Building into a giant white blob, his stated interest in renovating the White House Treaty Room, his specific marble and paint preferences for the Kennedy Center or the dozen or so other renovation projects Trump has prioritized in and around the White House complex.

Two-thirds of Americans believe their unpopular president simply has the wrong priorities. He keeps proving them right.
