The Great Reflecting Pool Saga has taken an awkward turn.
Trump met with Jeanine Pirro at the White House on Monday, hours after saying that she had “choked” when she concluded that the damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was not the work of vandals, as the president has claimed.
…
The decision to drop the charges set Ms. Pirro — a longtime ally and loyal appointee of a president — on a collision course with Mr. Trump, who has made sure to inflict consequences on people within his orbit who contradict his claims. In her filing, Ms. Pirro openly undermined Mr. Trump’s narrative that the Reflecting Pool’s peeling liner was caused by people slashing its coating with knives.
Trump’s narrative. To us peasants, that means he’s lying. One doesn’t tell stories about how Person X committed a crime – not when Person X is real and the stories could result in prison time. Trump doesn’t have the right to sit on his fat ass and tell lies about us peasants leaving footprints in his marble throne room.
