AI-animated satire from DOOOD What The?!. Reacts to a real news story; see transcript below.
Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. So Trump drained the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Again. For the second time in three months, because his fourteen million dollar renovation keeps turning bright green. The water fills up with algae, the blue paint peels off the bottom, and Trump has figured out exactly who is responsible for all of it. Vandals. This is the most beautiful reflecting pool anywhere in the world, believe me, and vandals came in the middle of the night and slashed it. With a knife. Or a box cutter. Very sharp. Nobody knows. They poured corrosive chemicals, very destructive, into my beautiful water. That is why it turned green. The algae? Also vandals. The peeling paint? Vandals. Everything, vandals. Tremendous vandals. So we arrested a man for touching it. An Olympic canoeist. He touched one little piece that was already falling off, and now, he is a criminal. Very sad. But the pool will be beautiful again. Soon. Meanwhile, people keep asking if the damage happened back in May, when Trump's own motorcade drove straight through the pool. But no. It was the box cutters. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
Trump drained it a second time, blaming vandals for turning the water green and damaging the paint, despite evidence suggesting issues from his motorcade or maintenance problems.
The pool has turned bright green due to algae growth, and the blue paint on its bottom is peeling off, leading Trump to blame vandals for these conditions.
Trump arrested an Olympic canoeist who touched a piece of the pool that was already falling off, demonstrating his overreaction and misuse of law enforcement resources.
While Trump blames vandals for slashing the pool with sharp objects and pouring corrosive chemicals, evidence suggests issues from maintenance problems or his motorcade driving through it in May 2023.
DOOOD satirizes Trump's absurd claims by highlighting his tendency to blame vandals for every issue and overreacting with law enforcement, while ignoring evidence pointing to maintenance or his own actions as the cause.
