    First - What’s wrong with it that needs fixing?

    Second - It’s 102 to 103 years old, how is that Biden’s fault?

    Lincoln fought literal bears for sport and won, Trump fights gravity and dementia and is losing on both accounts.

    For everyone saying “watch the video”- no.

    I will not click anything going to truth social (or its archives).

    I will not give Trump the traffic.

      Traffic is only really a valuable thing to get when it drives either ad views, or boosts your reach on a platform.

      The thing is, you can use an adblocker, and since Trump owns the platform, no amount of views will change the likelihood of people seeing his posts. At the same time, the traffic you could bring is more server hosting costs that need to be paid to serve you the content.

      Regardless, here’s the video without having to go to Truth Social. Also, fun fact, did you know the pool gets cleaned every year, and this isn’t some revolutionary thing that Biden just refused to do? Crazy! Who would have known the man known for lying would deceive people into thinking Biden just neglected the reflecting pool? Shocking.

    Another here is admonishing us to “watch the video”, which I, too, refuse to do, but, the video apparently gives no details. This is a short Newsweek article on the subject, other articles said the same as this:

    President Donald Trump announced a new Washington, D.C., National Mall project on Wednesday, saying the Department of the Interior is working to “fix” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

    The video shows workers working around the pool, set to the backdrop of Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye.”

    In a post to Truth Social accompanied by a video, the president posted, “This is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool before Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and I fix it. Study it hard because you won’t be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!”

    When reached for comment, the Interior Department declined to provide any details about the project, while saying it is “committed to this effort.”

      So those saying to just watch the video are either trying to drive traffic to that cancer of a site, or they didn’t even watch it themselves.

              Pretty sure this is “political memes”, and I’m pretty sure memes are supposed to be self contained.

              We shouldn’t have to give Trump add revenue to understand it.

                If you watch the video, it’s probably nothing like the meme would have one assume. Assume away! (just like conservatives with liberal memes…)

                And I’m hardly concerned with watching a video once every two months on a platform that’s losing 10’s of millions a quarter. If anything, watching while not logged in only costs Truth Social.
