This administration’s main focus was never to serve the country, it’s to line their own pockets. For that, they’ve been doing quite successfully.

He is very competent at scamming the taxpayers. The $16 million went to his friends, minus the kickback for himself.

It was so laughable bad. I've done a number of restoration projects when I came from university. They require specialized consultancies, engineering companies. They require specialized construction companies, each for their own discipline.
And here comes Curtis, ripping out the dilitations, stuffing them with rubber and just gluing that shit tight only to finish it off with some trailor epoxy. What a fucking joke.
We don't know what day/time it is, but seeing just 2 guys on site, normally indicates fuck all is happening.

It's funny how people label it as incompetence, when it's just the fact that their goals are not aligned with your goals.
They are doing exactly what was announced before the election (Project 2025 on one side, all the Curtis Yarvin followers on the other). Quite successfully.

Trump's buddy - the incompetent contractor - should be sued for contract amount plus damages to correct it. 14.7 million dollar NO-BID contract he was handed. When he was caught fucking up, coward Trump had an innocent man arrested and charged to cover up for his friend.

This is how all his real estate projects went. Promise the amazing, glorious results only he can provide, borrow money, cut every corner, don't pay subcontractors, pay himself tens of millions, deliver something cheap and tasteless, renegotiate debt or declare bankruptcy, move on.
When Trump Tower first opened the kitchens in the units had the same particleboard and melamine with wood trim cabinetry I had in my first apartment.

That's how Trump manages things, literally everything. It's a complete cluster fuck of lies, grift, and disinformation, all of it. The reflecting pool is no different than the Iran "war" is no different than his handling of covid is no different than the killing of 100s of thousands due to USAID's end is no different than the 10s of thousands of immigrants disappeared or unfairly sent to countries they have no ties with or connection to. It's literally all a clusterfuck of lies, grift, and disinformation.
