Blaming Obama for his failed 16+ million dollar attempt at entering the algae-based bio fuel industry.

How sad.

    Look, I know a lot of people will find this absurd cause Trump blames people for his failings all the time. But did anyone consider that Obama could have been there with a fleet of dump trucks pouring algae into the water in the middle of the night? He could be the next Banksy because he’s so good at covert missions! Wait, let’s make him our next super-spy (American James Bond). Also, he stole some jewels[0].

      Exactly. I still wonder how they pulled it off to make it look like Obama was in the US, while he took down Osama. Also why did they send a whole Seal team with him? Feels like a waste of taxpayers money.

    This is fucking trump in a nutshell. Cares about appearances and looks while everyone in the country can’t afford rent and food.

    “Advanced nanobubbler technology”? That’s what they’re calling hydrogen peroxide now?

      I’m confused.

      At one point, the spokesperson is quoted as saying, “The nanobubbler technology has successfully destroyed the algae bloom that has plagued every pool reopening since 1922 …”

      But then they call it “advanced nanobubbler technology.”

      Is it more than a century old, or is it advanced? Pick one.

        algae blooms have been happening every year since 1922, is pretty clear what that’s saying to me, and the spokesperson is claiming the nanobubbler has stopped that.

      A hydrogen peroxide molecule is 0.2 - 0.3 nm. So I suppose we could call it nanotech.

    I’m not a chemist or even a pool guy… but isn’t algae automatic with any long-standing pool of water that isn’t chlorinated? What did they expect? Why are they even angry?

      I’m no expert, but I think they were supposed to coat the base of the pool with something and apparently it was a shit job and that’s why the algae

      That’s literally what narcissism is. The circuitry in your brain that is responsible for feeling shame and guilt and finding fault within yourself just doesn’t exist in an affected brain. The idea that something negative that happened could be his fault is like you trying to understand how 2+2 could possibly equal 5. It doesn’t even cross your mind as a thing that’s worth considering as a possibility.

        It’s because the fragility is so great, any bruise to the ego, however small, would shatter their sense of self. They literally can never find a fault in themselves because it would break them and then send them into a full on rage. I think that’s why he has his outbursts. Things shatter his narcissistic bubble in a way that he can’t refute and he just gets violent and loud as a result.

          I don’t think you fully understand how narcissistic personality disorder works. If a healthy person starts getting a little too full of themselve, either because of frequent success making them feel infallible, or the Dunning-Kruger effect making them think they know more than they do, they can be brought back down by a reality check, or an embarrassing failure that inescapably shows them that they too have flaws. That’s the “shattering” or the “bubble” you’re referring to. That’s a healthy response. His mind literally doesn’t have the capacity to choose “personal failure” as an option for the cause of ANYTHING except positive results, because it isn’t even in the drop-down list. It’s super tempting to just say that it’s because he’s an asshole (he is though), but it’s a mental illness just like OCD, or schizophrenia. He could probably have masked it a little bit better when he was younger, but the clearly worsening dementia just makes it more obvious now.

        I don’t think he has a physical brain issue, he’s just an utter arse because of his god awful father, which has left him with debilitating daddy issues, and the fact that he was born into wealth and never told no. All of which is not helped by the fact that he has an IQ that a 6-year-old would be embarrassed by, and has dementia on top of all of that.

      This should be bare minimum litmus test for any representative or even an employee yet many people are simply too naive or dumb to realize this. I just don’t understand how could you ever trust a person like that unless your goal is self harm.

      That’s not fair. He always takes credit when it’s something he’s not smart enough to understand will make him look bad.

      That’s why people like him and voted for him. MAGAts see themselves in Agent Orange. They all suffer from neurodegeneracy, because of all the chemicals they have been huffing since childhood. Dementia reduces empathy and increases self-centeredness, which are very similar symptoms to narcissism. And Trump is the most biglyiest narcissist on the planet, believe me.

      Also not surprising that rural folk are Trump supporters, they breath in a higher than average amount of Monsanto chemicals every year.

      At least they switched to using tidal water instead of potable drinking water. Funnily enough, that project happened during the Obama administration and probably is a factor of why they’ve had problems with algae, so like, technically Trump isn’t wrong. What he’s leaving out though is that painting the pool blue almost assuredly made the algae problem worse.

    It’s a sign of a weak man, to never admit ones mistakes while constantly blaming others…

    Weak man with small hands.

    Oh and also a pedophile. Not related to the pool, just stating the facts, so we don’t forget. Pedophile with nuclear codes.
