Trump cast himself as a heroic figure who was saving the day. Now, along comes TRUMP, who is asked by many patriots if I can fix it. The answer is a resounding, YES, and for a tiny fraction of the cost! he said,
He continued: Instead of taking 4 years to build, at a cost, granite pavers and all, of 400 Million Dollars, we could construct a far superior Reflecting Pool for 5 or 6 Million Dollars, and could complete the project in 2 weeks rather than 4 years. What a difference in time and money, and for a far superior end result! he said.
Again, his numbers are off. The Interior Department added $6.2 million to the contracts previous cost of $1.8 million, totaling $8 million, not 5 or 6, as Trump wrote on his Truth Social post.
Trump then attacked the reporter who wrote the critical piece, and said he had actually saved hundreds of millions of dollars for taxpayers.
This is not just a paint job, like lowlife reporter, David Fahrenthold, of the NYT so inaccurately and maliciously stated, it is a deeply complicated work of smart and beautiful construction. It wont leak, it will shine, and be the pride of Washington D.C. for decades to come. I saved more than 390 Million Dollars, and 4 years of no mess, and was, of course, given no credit by the biased New York Times, he said.
