172 ,000 jobs were created in May, far more than expected.Honestly, that's great to hear, President Trump.

But inflation continues to rise and gas prices have increased as much as $2 .13 a gallon since the start of the Iran war.Who is this?This is my emo fact checker.

Well, tell him mainstream media was wrong about the reflecting pool.It's already fixed and half full.

0:21

Half empty.And even though you painted it American flag blue, It dried darker, but that doesn't matter anyway because the water is pumped in from the tidal basin and that water isn't clear, so the reflecting pool looks the same as before.But the water is reflecting.Which is what it did before.That's true.Here's pictures I took in 2025, 2019, and 2017.

We fixed the leaks.They did add a sealant.That's a temporary solution.The real problem, which we have known for years, is that the pipes taking the water from the tidal basin to the pool are leaking underground.That would cost about $100 million to fix.

Our current short -term solution only costs $13 .1 million.You are welcome.

Which was $11 .3 million over budget.And this was after he gave a contract to a company without a bidding process, which is almost definitely illegal.But the water coming out looks clean.The algae will come back as it gets warmer this summer.And due to climate change, this will probably be the hottest year on record.Once again.

Let's move on.Well, here's something for your precious climate.I'm giving $700 million to clean coal plants.I announced it yesterday.

There's no such thing as clean coal.Also, he fell asleep during that meeting.And also, you're using wartime powers from the Cold War era to fund this.Well, we are in a war.A war that the House just voted to end.Yeah, that's true.

1:41

Four Republicans sided with the Democrats to block you from continuing the war.But the Senate won't vote to end it.He's probably right about that.

1:48

The Senate just voted this morning to fund ICE until the end of my term.America is back.

1:53

The ICE enforcement surge by Trump led to 668 ,000 people losing their jobs.It's hurting the economy.than helping it.Uh, we're regilding four horse statues.To yet another no -bid contractor for five million taxpayer dollars.

My plan to build an arch is moving forward.It's my birthday gift to me.

2:11

Was that a reference to the 2000 Disney animated film Emperor's New Groove?He's also doing this without congressional approval and it's so tall it could affect how planes get to the airport.Arch!That looks painful.

2:22

It's not.

It's fine.I'm fine.
