Donald Trump’s deliberate vandalization of DC, along with our democracy, has reached a tipping point where even his most loyal cultists are questioning his motives.
Just not enough of them…yet.
Senate Republicans are starting to break ties with Trump over his full capitulation to Iran in Versailles. The Senate approved a House-passed resolution on Tuesday directing Trump to withdraw U.S. armed forces from Iran after four GOP senators broke ranks and voted to undercut his plan to keep using Iran as a distraction from the Epstein Files.
Along with that loss, Trump also failed again to get his racist SAVE Act passed, so the petty PAB, who’ll never accept responsibility for the algae bloom that is the Reflecting Pool, retaliated by canceling his planned signing of the Housing Affordability Bill on Wednesday at the Capitol.
Mallory McMorrow, a Democrat running for Senate in Michigan, summed up the “why” of it all soon after Trump blasted his own party for not making voting harder for women in America.
“To be very clear about what’s happening right now,” McMorrow tweeted, “the President won’t sign @SenWarren’s bipartisan HOUSING bill package to address the housing crisis and bring your costs down unless he’s allowed to make it harder for any woman who may have changed their name to vote.”
What a giant misogynistic baby.
MAGA celebrated Trump’s latest outburst as they continue to willfully cling to whatever weak line of BS he’s now peddling. The same cult that doesn’t care about paying exponentially more for everything from gas to groceries to healthcare costs is also fine with Trump vandalizing every monument in the nation’s capital.
They screamed when Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden and Barack Obama added a basketball court to the White House grounds. Yet they’re oddly on board with everything Trump has done in the name of “improving” what he claims Democrats have “ruined.”
They had no problem with Trump decorating the Oval Office with tacky gold-plated crap all over the walls, as if he looted a Hobby Lobby in Moscow.
Appallingly, they were fine with him demolishing the East Wing of the White House. We have no idea if the historical artifacts collected by all the first ladies have been preserved, but it’s not like MAGA cares about that when they can own the Libs like this.
They cheered him on when he paved over the Rose Garden to make it look like another tacky patio at Mar-A-Lago, just without a pool. And then they went full Idiocracy when they celebrated him turning the South Lawn into a traveling parking lot carnival trailer park, with a cage built to watch shirtless men beat the crap out of each other on his birthday.
The White Trash House and its grounds now look like Putin already bombed it and is working on the full occupation. And now we have Algaegate, aka the Reflecting Pool of Green Goo, to really drive home just how much Trump hates America.
Of course, MAGA is letting him dictate what they should say and feel about the latest visual example of “Everything Trump Touches Dies.” Trump went from bragging that he “has the best pool guy” to making up imaginary vandals to blame for the “American Blue” water turning “Drain the Swamp Green.”

Trump has been bragging about arresting the “vandals” who are “cutting up the floor” of the Reflecting Pool with “big knives,” but that’s not what’s happening. Instead, completely innocent people who pulled floating pieces of the pool floor and others have been taken into custody. Trump threatened more arrests if any other “vandals” tried to do any more vandalism.
It’s also another perfect example of how Trump has swindled his cult over and over for the last 11 years. Trump has a lengthy track record of hiring the cheapest labor he can find and still not paying his contractors, so it’s not really a surprise that every single “improvement” project has failed spectacularly.
Because that’s been his plan all along, because it’s the same plan he’s repeatedly used throughout his life, both before and after he flung his loaded diaper all over our political norms. Here’s how Donny Three Card Monte draws them in, then plays out the rest of the con:
First, he announces he’s doing something to “make improvements” over something either President Obama or President Biden did, because he’s a jealous and constantly overcompensating for everything he hates about himself, which is everything. He has a guy, the best guy, who’ll get millions for doing the damage. Check out this Dick Tracy villain, the latest weirdo in TrumpWorld to get in on the grift.
That’s Trump donor and Florida Man John Cafaro. Like most of Trumpworld, Cafaro has a criminal record; in this case, it’s two prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.
Anyway, the con then shifts based on the reaction. If it succeeds, then Trump keeps up the lie to sustain the con for as long as he can. If it’s badly received or fails spectacularly, which is almost always the result, the narrative suddenly shifts, and Trump finds a convenient scapegoat for his own failure.
That’s why MAGA members of Congress are blaming “vandals” and bringing back old propaganda about Dr. Anthony Fauci, because it’s his turn once again on Trump’s Spinning Wheel of Favorite Scapegoats to use as a distraction from the Epstein Files.
This is what Washington, DC, currently looks like ahead of what’s supposed to be a celebration of America’s 250th Birthday.
This isn’t the winning he promised MAGA.
It’s the winning he promised Putin. He’s giving America to Daddy Vladdy as a gift on OUR birthday. That’s the visual Putin wants, a destroyed DC for him to occupy.
And MAGA still refuses to see what’s right in front of them.
The post Trump’s long con on his drooling MAGA base came into focus right before America 250 appeared first on Raw Story.
