Why is trump telling them how to do their job? Surely it's someone's job to know how to do this kind of thing.

When your ego is that big, under no circumstances are you allowed to lose. Inject bleach in your veins if you must.

Plus he's a real estate guy, so he probably figured (if we generously assume even a modicum of self awareness) that if he could do anything right, it's something like this. Which makes it especially funny that it backfired in minutes.

“He kept pointing into the toilet,” said one source. “He was extremely proud of the color. He kept saying, ‘Look at that. That’s presidential blue. That’s what success looks like.’”

We should sample the algae bloom in that pool and look for intelligent life.

I am NOT about to inject bleach into my veins.
However, I might stick a light bulb up my ass..

Good to know America is in such great shape that the CEO has time for things like making a pool more blue, when he's not watching himself on television.

It is rather difficult to write about political satire these days. Perhaps there is an audience for fictional news where everything is basically a utopia. Headlines like “Fossil fuel end complete, planet in remission” or “Universal healthcare announced in USA, basic income next week” or “Successful purge of billionaires creates peace on earth overnight”

You should still do it. This is AI slop, so nothing of value here.

Articles like this are insidious, because you can never be certain. Not absolutely
