Things I like about the reflecting pool fiasco

(Being a patriotic American, there are things I obviously don't like as well)

1. It's impossible to cover this up and it's all over the news
2. Trying to blame it on previous administrations is laughable
3. It's a visible symbol for "Everything Trump Touches Dies"

Once the laughter at the whole "antifa terrorist sabotage" nonsense dies down, blame will fall on the contractor. And yet another fool will learn to never trust piggy.

7. Government spending and waste -- when the GOP is in charge. Maybe Dems should "purple-bandaid" it.

Dems don’t blindly follow symbols like the GOP base does. But emblemize the screwed-up reflecting pool ad nauseum, like those silly people on the other side.
Reflecting mirrors with “flaking” blue paint, splotches of green, and “$18M” written on them?
T-shirts that read “GOP donors got $18 million and all i got was pool algae”, with a picture of the pool?
“Trump: Can’t Even Keep Your Pool Clean”
“Worst Pool Guy Ever”
