President Donald Trump was confronted on Thursday evening by ABC News senior correspondent Rachel Scott, who asked him to justify all the vanity projects he is engaged in all over Washington, D.C., like the renovation of the Reflecting Pool — and he lost his temper.


"Mr. President, we are here against the backdrop of a war in Iran," Scott said. "Why focus on all these projects as gas prices soar?"


"You know why? Because I want to keep our country beautiful and safe. Beautiful also," said Trump. "This place was a disgusting place. It was, Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and we had a terrible, disgusting, I don't know, you probably don't see dirt, but I do. And you walk down this pond, if you were to walk down, they'll tell you better than anybody. They had to take 11 or 12 truckloads of garbage out of that lake, out of that water, it sat there for years like that. And that's not what our country is about, our country's about beauty, cleanliness, safety, great people, not a filthy capital."



"Such a stupid question," Trump raged. "We're fixing up the reflecting pond to the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and you say, 'Why are you fixing it up?' Because you can understand dirt, maybe, better than I can, but I don't allow it."

"This is one of the worst reporters, she's with ABC Fake News, and she's a horror show," Trump said, turning away. "She's saying, 'Why would you bother fixing this up?' Why would I bother taking 11 or 12 truckloads of filth out of the water in front of the Lincoln Monument? That's what made our country great. Beauty made our country, people made our country great, a question like that is a disgrace to our country."

1. If I could only cosplay a journalist asking him questions

If he derided my question as stupid, I would have said, well I thought you would understand it because you are stupid. Then hand in my resignation and leave…

2. I dunno, perhaps it is just me...

If he really wanted to clean out the filth around the WH and DC he should start with himself and his admin and work down from there.

3. Exactly what a hotelier with bed bugs would say.

No-good traitor is a broken record of self-pity.

4. I can think of a lot of filth that should be carted out of D.C.

6. You see, Rachel, Donny doesn't have to see anything that's going on in Iran--

except those explosion videos his aides show him, and those are fun—but whenever he’s in D.C. and looking out the window he does have to look at a city that doesn’t have anywhere near enough visible shrines to Donald Trump.

😒

7. He's a fucking liar. The Reflecting Pool has been cleaned and maintained regularly.

He is such a lying liar. When he opens his mouth, garbage falls out.

8. The best way to clean up DC is to lock up trump.

Garland screwed that up!

9. Sir you cut food stamps and health insurance

To millions of Americans while running up the nation's debt to a level not seen since world War 2, do you think the starving and the dying give a shit about the reflecting pool or is all you have is stupid answers as to why you're doing stupid things?

10. The only filth in DC I want removed is him and his administration.
