This is the Lincoln Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, a treasured landmark seen in many iconic images and films. The mad king had it drained so that the bottom could be painted blue, adding an over-saturated "ocean" color.
Why though?
So we are not talking how to dethrone a pedophile loser put in power by racist trash manipulated by oligarchs.
To distract from his child rape in the Epstein files and enrich his fellow oligarchs at the public’s expense.
Is it working?

Emphasis on 'mad king'
Why indeed
It does get refurbished every so often. That's his excuse for making it tacky, the way he prefers things.
he likes anything gold, even if the gold is just a foil on a crappy surface.
This is true, but think of things on a large (soon to be bankrupt) casino scale. That's where we get this pool from.
he has pedophelia constantly nagging at his periphery, he needs constant media distractions.
Wait? What? I haven’t seen this in the news. It’s very stupid.
I thought it was a parking lot, and was very confused.
He's not quite king yet.
He already is king in everything but title...
Even the British King only scores 10/15 on that list. Maybe Trump wants to be an Ayatollah instead of a King.
Out of that list I'd say 2 apply (but they're really the same thing), 4 are maybes, and 9 don't apply to King Charles. He has very little real power. Influence, maybe, but the royals have a policy of never speaking on political topics.
You haven't got a king in the US. You've got a dictator.
As long as he stays in that office, he's immune to prosecution or litigation of any kind. That's kingly enough.
how so
